DAY 0 - Our Boeing 757 bound for Colorado...first time Valerie and I will be flying for a snowboarding trip
Pete is flying with us...and this will be all of our first time traveling to Colorado
We cross our fingers that our snowboards will make it to our destination
I am seated over the wing
Pete is seated behind me
Valerie is seated next to me
Mayor Tom Bradley International Terminal expansion project is underway
Our plane passes a Japan Airlines Boeing 777 before rolling on to the main taxiway
Traffic
Liftoff
After a short delay, our flight is cleared for takeoff on Runway 25-R
Engine blocks my view of the LAX Expansion Project
I think that is Interstate 15 ahead with Silverwood Lake just beyond...
...which means this could be Mount Baldy...
...and this would be Big Bear Lake
First glimpse of Colorado on final approach
Barely can see anything down there
White snow, red rock
Descending west over I70 between Wolcott and Eagle
Eagle River?
Almost down
