Ski, ski, work, work, work, rinse, repeat.

Normally around this time of year, it won't freaking stop raining.  The days are gray and the sun rarely shines.  Normally around this time of year, I can't wait for summer to finally arrive.  Well, April 2009 has been a little different.  We've already had that gorgeous 80 degree weekend that sneaks in somehow every spring and the sun has been out most of the time.  As you can see from the last post, the Hoybooks have been taking full advantage.

So, here's the thing:  Bryan can't seem to stop thinking about winter.  With all of this sun and warm weather around, he still has a serious case of snowis slidis feveralis, a.k.a. ski fever.  We've been trying to find a cure but apparently more skiing is the only remedy.  

His first dose of medication was last week's shenanigans in Central Oregon, a ski-tour, corn harvest on Broken Top.  So, when that didn't work, we spent today at Timberline.  The weather was questionable the whole day-- what's with the fog?-- but the snow was great.  On the way home, we were already scheming another day on the slopes for next Sunday.

Summer, come on down, but can you wait just one more week?  Bryan needs serious help.
