Oh man! I wouldn't do it either. I'm too old to climb anything. I wish I
woudl have gotten to go though. I understand they rode in a cable car to
the top of Pike's Peak. I would have loved to go, and just like you said,
they had snow. Wow! What a concept especially the fire works. I dont'
like them though, but hey you know. Wow! what a guy your nephew. Take
care.
