RIP Roost

I shed a quiet tear today when I discovered this: http://www.denverpost.com/search/ci_5728909
I lived at the Roost Lodge for an entire season when I was working in Vail in 2000/2001. It was a great place to stay, and the only really affordable accommodation in town. Once I got to know the people who worked there - Russ, Mitzi and Lauren and Rick, they turned out to be really nice, friendly folk. I still remember Rick and Russ feeding Chris and me shots of Jagermeister and Tequila at the local bar. It was a long time ago… Man I’d love to go back to Vail. It's hard to imagine a better lifestyle. Live to ski...

We had a few decent days skiing. Thanks to Chris for the photo.
