Aspen, part III -- snow swimming

The condo where we're staying has an outdoor swimming pool. I'm sure it comes in handy when the temps rise in the summer, but I couldn't imagine using it in the winter. Then I found out that they heat it to 103 degrees, so it's like a giant hot tub.

The girls and I have enjoyed a long soak each of the past two afternoons, and we plan on hitting it again today. We're about to head up to the top of the mountain (via gondola -- we're not that ambitious!) for lunch with Mrs. Gopher, and rumor has it there will be opportunities to strap on the snowshoes and go for a hike. If so, we'll need another long soak in the giant hot tub.
