We had a good amount of unexpected snow last week which meant more time than usual on the mountain and less time for the computer. There is nothing quite like riding in powder. It feels like like floating. Exhilarating. Freeing. Soul soaring. We are powder seekers. And we fit together “like legos”. We finally made […]

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 […]

Since we have stopped moving, i.e., decided to spend the winter in Colorado, my weeks have become a little routine. Last week there were a few twists to keep things interesting.

I’ve never owned a hydration pack but after a few days on the slopes, I knew there had to be a better way to stay hydrated than continual trips into the lodge for a few sips of water. So I was thrilled to be able to try and now share a CamelBak Review. CamelBak Review The Ice […]

We made the cover of a local paper! I was a little nervous because the article could have taken a very different direction because sometimes people aren’t comfortable when others live unconventionally. As it turned out the article was better than we even imagined and really captures what it’s like to live full time in […]

It’s hard to believe we’ve been in Colorado for almost two months. It’s been cold. It’s been challenging. It’s been fun at least when there aren’t icicles coming out of our faucet. True story. Over the last few months, our heater broke twice (like I feared), our water has frozen multiple times, and I’m certain […]

I thought I was fit and then I snowboarded. I thought I was mentally stable and then I moved to the mountains in an RV for the winter. We got up to the mountains last Wednesday evening. Friday the boys and I went snowboarding. I only fell 10,000 times. The good news is I didn’t break […]
