Nicolai opted to remain in Colorado for his block break and has joined his roommate, Thomas, and his family to ski Breckinridge. The mountain is 13,000 feet high and features 187 trails. We were happy to receive the photo above, taken by Thomas’ mother, but have yet to receive any reports from Nicolai. He was quite a proficient skier as a youngster, pictured at age 14 below, but it has been many years since he was last flying down a mountain.
