Our family started making an annual trek to Colorado for skiing in 1983, and since 1989 we have been coming to Park Plaza in Beaver Creek. The Mihaly family has nearly always been a special part of our Beaver Creek ski vacation. We were a small group this year. We missed the family members who were not able to make it.
