AAW Sponsors Adventure Race in Colorado

Whats up everyone?  We hope your summer is going awesome and that you are getting outside and being as active as you can.  AAW is having a fantastic summer and is busy designing trips, having fun and being outdoors.  This weekend AAW sponsored a team in the Adventure Xstream Series in Summit County, Colorado.  A team of 4 consisting of 2 women (Michelle and Mary Jane) and 2 men (Mark and Adam) participated in the sprint category that consisted of running, sea kayaking, mountain biking and treking and orientering.  The team had been training hard and finished in a time of 4 hours 45 minutes. They did a great job and had heaps of fun.  Mike and Kevin were at the race for support and had a great time sponsoring this event and our Adventure Team.  Check out some of the pictures on the left of the Adventure Race.

Keep on enjoying your summer!!!

Cheers,

Beaver Creek Powder Day

Well I finally got the chance to get on the slopes at Beaver Creek this weekend.  I was up in the area for 8 days straight over xmas and New Years. We had several families in Beaver Creek on custom ski trips and they all had a great time. This weekend I was upthere visting Molly, a friend from college, and finally got the chance to hit the Mountain. It was an awesome bluebird day and they had gotten over 45" of snow in the past 7 days so there was some good powder stashes. Myself and 4 of her friends skied and rode the mountain all day.  They did great and we all had a grand time.

Cheers,

Kevin

Vail on New Years Day

Well I may have just experienced the best way to start the new year.  A sweet powder day at Vail.  My brother and I went to Vail for the day and it was amazing.  Blue bird day, over a foot and a half of powder, and good friends.  It really makes us enjoy living out here in the mountains. Work had and play hard!
