Fresh Tracks

Finally! B and I got out on the ski slopes for the first time yesterday. It seems we've been really busy so far this winter and couldn't find a day off to go skiing together. We finally made it happen yesterday and headed up to Meadows on what was easily the coldest day so far this year. We had checked the weather on Tuesday night, saw the predicted -7 wind chill and called Geoff to say we were sleeping in instead. But, he called bright and early and talked us into it. That guy is always making us do ridiculous things.

I'm not going to lie, it was COLD. Living in the Northwest, I've skied in all kinds of weather-- sleet, rain, heavy snow, snow squalls, snow showers, drizzle, sun, etc. However, this was the first time I've spent the day on the slopes in my down jacket with every inch of my skin covered.

Even though it was freezing and the snow wasn't stellar, we had a great day. We literally had the place to ourselves and really, it's not often that we get to ski in sun on Mt. Hood in December. It's going to be a great season.

You may have noticed the curious absence of Julia on this ski trip. Usually, where there is a Bryan, there is a Gayle. Where there is a Geoff, there is a Julia. Well, Julia has been working on a fresh new project of her own and we are so excited. Click here for the juicy details.
