Today when we told the boys we would be leaving the mountain in 6 weeks they sighed in disappointment. I’m surprised after last week’s exhausting “6 day snowboard challenge”. The boys and I decided to snowboard for 6 days in a row. Some of the days were only a few hours long but we managed […]

I’m afraid I’m going to have to bore you for a few more weeks with more snow pictures as we have decided to stay in Colorado until mid April. The original was plan to leave March 1 but Colorado is much too beautiful and snowboarding is much too fun to leave quite yet. Here are some highlights […]
