Merry Christmas! December 25, 2010

Merry Christmas!  We left this beautiful Christmas tree and presents...

 And went to Alta!  Loved how the sun made the ridge lines glow!  Kind of like a huge Christmas Morning twinkle light.

But it was COLD!  -4 degrees F at the Base and 0 degrees at the top.  Brrrrr!

And it was beautiful!  Most of the snow was pretty tracked out, but still soft and easily turnable.


Of course, James wanted to go hiking for "fresher" turns.  So we did.  Twice.

Video of James skiing out of the chutes that we hiked to ski.


Considering the outside temperature, it was still hot after hiking.  James needed to cool down.  So I pushed him over into the snow. (Nice Daffy James!)


And then I "fell" - so that James wouldn't need to push me.

Merry Christmas!


And when we finally got home and opened our presents - guess what Santa brought us!?  A new ski tuning table - complete with vices and wax and scrapers and p-tex and an apron.  Awesome!  (The skis are James' new 4-front skis - not a Christmas present - he had to sell his Gotamas to buy these.)



P.S. We had lots of fantastic presents from family too!  Thanks everyone. 

Christmas Eve - December 24, 2010

On Christmas Eve, James and I decided to go to a movie.  (R.E.D with Bruce Willis, etc.)  We had an hour to kill before our showtime, so we walked over to the Toys R Us.  Check out this awesome lego fireman!




So fun!  Makes me hope that Santa brings us some Legos.  We've been good this year!
