Merry Christmas from the six Js. Hope everyone is having just a fantastic Holiday season. We went over to Jonell's parents house for Christmas Eve and her brother and sister were there with their kids so it was good times with 10 kids in the house raising heck but actually was a bit more mellow than I expected.


Jonell and the three youngest went over the day before, so before we met at church, Jake and I met up with Lars and skied a couple of the skate loops at Soaring Eagle. Great ski. Always fun skiing with Lars. All the people I have skied with, he moves up hill like nothing. Quick smooth steps.


Hopefully after New Years we can hook up at Itasca for a ski or two.
Steve Wenzel out on the Maplelag trails on Christmas eve.
One weekend in January a few years back when we were enjoying -40 below temps and the PB was outside grooming....we had to push some cars into the "cathouse" that wouldn't start. I think we had five cars in there. But otherwise the mvp's on campus get to enjoy 62 degree temps. Jib, Fly and Lucky too I guess.
Cheers!!

Hows that yamaha 4-stroke working for you? If I was still a carpenter I'd have one of those new Phazers

Look forward to having you guys. Keep me posted on Itasca. They usually groom there Thursdays. Might have to work a hocked game Fri aft.
The VK Pro has been working great. Got about 300 miles so far this year. Almost 100 just packing with no drag so that helped get some break in miles in nicely. 4 mph up Suicide Hill pulling a 9' drag with ginzu blades 1" down, mixing 1-2" fresh...no problem. 3-4 pulls harder. Not fun getting stuck.
Cheers!
