Actually, I think that sort of learning really makes the sailor. It's easy
to sail when you have steady wind from a particular direction. It takes
skill and patience to sail in air that is constantly changing both in
direction and strength!

There are no decent sailing areas in the mountains. The wind changes too
much. It's great to learn to read the wind.

Are you thinking of Ruedi Reservoir?

Dillon Reservoir?

Who in their right mind would own a boat anyway?

Ah, Dillon. When I was a pro ski patrolman at Breckenridge, we spent our
summers crewing for a friend on his Ensign on Dillon. Amazing place.
One race started out with blue skies, 8kts., and temps around 70 (shorts,
no shirt) and ended up with snow and 20kts. When you see the snow
beginning to blow up on Buffalo Mtn. it's time to take down the chute.
Great memories from there.

Isn't there a decent sailing lake near Aspen as well?
