Holidaze

 Another Holiday season has passed. Like always, it goes by super fast with things cranking up at the resort and kids activities in the mix. Family shot at Grandma Judy's on Christmas Eve.


 I didn't feel like Christmas this year with browngreenish grass the day before Christmas. Yikes!
 The boys with Santa.
 My awesome wife, celebrating 22 years of amazingness.

 Snowmaker Christmas present from Bruce and Margaret Adelsman. I waved that wand like crazy and then it snowed 6" in the cities. Thanks Ha! Priceless gift though and like Bruce said, sometimes you just have to laugh.
 We kept active a bit different this Holiday season. Fun times with boys, lots of skating, ping pong and mountain biking. The skating on the lake was epic the day after it melted than started to freeze.


 Nothing stronger than flowing water, even if a trickle despite subzero temps.

Night plunge with the boys. Since we got the hole open, we've plunged over a dozen times this year. Good way to get rid of some of the gunk going around.

Snow returned in small batches with a great New years day gift of 4" on New Years Day. Ice thick enough to support vehicles and equipment and making it much more efficient to transport snow.

As of this week, over 30 loads on Skaters Waltz and considering only 5-6" of snowfall since the "melt off" skiing isn't too bad.
