From Snow Banks to River Banks
One of the many benefits of snowboarding/skiing is meeting incredible new people. If you want. I mean, there are definite times for solitude on the slopes.

100 Days Slope Celebration
It’s always fun when a ski/snowboard resort announces their 100th day of operations. Some resorts used to offer $1 lift tickets on the 100th day.

Fancy Flowers
I don’t garden at all. But I do love walking around and seeing flowers. Often I head out after work for fresh air, a view of the mountain and a leg stretch. The mountain was hiding in a fog, but the base was clear. This is what I viewed along the path… Even the children’s…
