SUN VALLEY INN

Once upon a time, I met a kindred spirit on a boat snorkelling off of Key West, Florida. She invited me skiing in Idaho, and we had another great week, this time in snow. We had a great rhythm of breakfast in the room, skiing, sharing a meal on the mountainside (healthy and economical!), skiing, hot-tub, yoga and supper. 
Here is my homage to eating.

The first day, I felt like I was in a movie. The Rockies are so beautiful, they looked like a painting.
