So, I had to dig deep into the archives to bring you this great photo:

This was the first time I tried sliding down a mountain on some kind of board. I was 20 years old and at a scary place called Jackson Hole, Wyoming. They had, like 4 green runs, all off the same lift. I paid $10 and road the same lift and boarded the same runs for 2 days. Let's just say that snowboarding isn't my thing. I tried skiing the year after that and well, I sort-of like it a wee bit better.
B and I headed to Mt. Bachelor a couple of weeks ago for two blue bird days of skiing. Here are my favorite shots:
B landing after a jump. Either we need a faster camera or I need a faster finger-- I tried all day, but couldn't get a shot of him at the top of the jump.

Me coming down a black diamond. Yep, that's right, I've improved since that first day on the Jackson slopes. I can follow B anywhere now.

B and me and the Three Sisters in central Oregon. Mt. Bachelor is about 9,000 feet and you can ski right off the top. It's one of the best views around.

And finally, the shot of the day.
