Or by gaining access to the Mary Jane - Winter Park ski lifts. But first you must solve the puzzle below to figure out where it is. Once upon a time there were two young brothers, who lived high up on the mountain. They both owned quaint little cabins in the trees of the Colorado Rockies. One day they decided to go out for a bit of fresh air, when all of the sudden they were attacked by a pair of wandering skis. Where these skis came from, they didn’t know, but it really sent them for a loop. After a bit of recovery, they were back at their favorite past time, skiing. As they were headed down the mountain, the older brother, Duncan, noticed that his younger brother kept skiing to the right. “What’s the matter, Phillip? Are your skis on straight?” Duncan asked. “ I’m not sure, but they sure are taking me for a ride.” Phillip said with a joyful laugh. You see, it didn’t matter how they skied, just as long as they were skiing, they were happy. As they went down the beautiful mountainside, they noticed a small clearing beyond the edge of the trees. They had never noticed it before, but they decided to check it out. There was so much fresh powder that the two brothers looked like a symphony on skis as they swooshed from one side of the clearing to the other. Duncan smiled as he made his way down the mountain and was so happy that his brother had called him this morning and said, “Let’s go skiing.” It was definitely worth the short journey they had made to find such a splendid paradise of snow. These two were, in fact, so dedicated to the sport that they each had their own bumper stickers made for there green and white Jeeps. Duncan’s read, “Have Skis Will Travel” and Phillip’s read, “Any Snow, Any Mountain.” Every where they went, they took there skis with them. Only once did they forget. They went to visit their family on the west coast and didn’t realized that there were mountains there as well. Indeed, they had to try it out. So they went and rented California skis and took to the slopes. But, still nothing would ever compare to the magnificent mountains of Colorado. So it was, that these two brothers and friends skied until they could ski no more. What to do when the snow is gone, they wondered. Why, geocaching, of course!
