Skiing, skiing, skiing





This last weekend the hoar frost made for excellent skiing. An entire week of thick fog made us all itchy for sunlight so we headed to the mountains above the fog, where we found sun and good skiing. I snagged a few photos of my new car without looking obsessed, of course now I am outed, not obsessed, just excited how it fits our needs so well. Just need to mount the rocket box for longer trips with more people, 4 people and 2 dogs fit alright, not lovely but safely. Now I count down the days until school ends and we spend another weekend skiing, this weekend resort though. Seth headed out Sunday and found more snow and sun too.

oh Christmas branch, oh Christmas branch



The perfect Christmas tree became obvious to me when I came home yesterday, it was hanging above the driveway. It took us a few minutes to clip it down, set it in a bucket and ta da, decorate, automatic Christmas.

Hatcher's Pass and Thanksgiving



We spent this weekend eating at Grandma's, looking for the perfect car than spent the night with favorite people up in Hatcher's Pass. We skied a few beautiful runs in great snow, a little bushy but great than snuggled up in tiny cabin and froze the next day at avalanche class. The pictures might lead you to think it is around 6/7 at night, ah no, probably around 3:30, getting close to solstice around here, no small thing, and I believe solstice means Scott's birthday ah?
