Saturday morning we decided to go to the balloon launch. We got to Snowmass around 7:00 a.m to find few balloons ready. The weather has been unpredictable lately with rain almost every day. Saturday morning was no exception and between the rain and wind they called off the launch. One "rookie" went to the trouble to inflate but then deflated as soon as the rain started.
Saturday night the rain had stopped so we drove back to Snowmass to watch the "night glow". There were several balloons inflated along one of the ski runs but there were new storms coming in from the southwest which caused most to deflate. Unfortunately by 9 they were all down and put away.
It was a nice evening and we walked around Snowmass Mall and had beef stew and Chili. It was on the cool side at 44 degrees. The storm cell never made it to Snowmass.
We entered the event from the top of the hill and walked down to the live music and activities. Only problem with that is hiking back up to get out and to the parking lot!
