Bachelor Gulch

A few weeks ago the Mr. and I escaped the city and headed to the mountains of Bachelor Gulch for a little ski vacation.  And while I know snow is the last thing on your mind, I had to share a few pics with you all.  

The town of Bachelor Gulch is the tiniest of ski towns nestled into Beaver Creek Mountain in Vail Colorado.  It holds a special place in the Mr.’s heart as he played out the angst of his youth (and some of his adult years) on that hill, and in that town.  So in a way, whenever we head there it’s a little like going home for him.

For me, one of the best things about a ski vacation is always the resort.  And our resort did not disappoint.  We stayed at The Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch a most majestic resort in the middle of the mountain.  Most days you’d find me on the hill in the morning, sitting around a roaring fire and listening to music with s’mores, and champs during apres ski, and spending my evenings in the spa.  Possibly the best spa I’ve ever been to (I know, bold words).  I highly, highly recommend it.  Oh, and to all my friends in the wedding industry Engage is going to be taking place there this summer so if you’re going, lucky you, you’ll love it!

While the escape was exactly what I needed, I must say it was harder this time to head back to daily life.  Maybe because this was a shorter trip than normal?  Or maybe because I was simply craving some peace.  Nothing is quite so relaxing as the mountains.  Everything just becomes quiet.  Still.  I feel like I can breathe again.  The mountains, will forever be on my yearly MUST go list.  So until next year snow, I bid you ado.  truly, MKR
