Spring Break-Out
Today I'm on paid leave enjoying nice deep flat-lander powder but just a short week ago I was out in California with the rest of the family seeing Gramy/Pappa Donn and Grandpa Jim and Jane.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed visiting the relatives. The gold mine tour was a highlight, with hardhats and the jeep ride underground. We adventured to many historical sites, including the Indian Grinding Rocks and gold mining tailing wheels.
The boys really improved at skiing at Tahoe-Donner. It was all well and good until unbeknownst to Hanna and me, Sam tried to follow us while snow shoeing and got lost. While returning, Hanna heard a strange howling and lo and behold, we discovered Sam alone in the woods.

Kamakaze Squirrels & Etc
Last week I was on an apparently normal lunch time loop ride, minding my own beeswax cruising along on my road bike when all of a sudden a small shape appeared from out of the riparian woods...AND
bounded up into the air, a furry bundle of flesh and blood, about the size of a squirrel...in fact, it was a squirrel...who had formulated a desperate plan to cross the bike path in front of my whirring wheels in search of...whatever. But Ka-POW!!! he launched a moment too late and collided, the entire fur-ball, into my leg, pushing me an entire millimeter out of my chosen path. The surprise was mutual, and I don't suspect I'll ever see the confused critter again.

Eiseman Hut
Bald Mountain Backcountry at EveryTrail
Map created by EveryTrail:GPS Geotagging
Great 5 day trip with the DWEAM Team (aka Depth Hoar Research Society), higlighted by the Bald Mountain expedition and the north ridge carving festival (see photo below). Eiseman Hut deserves its great reputation, helped by great powder and plenty of skiable terrain.

Skiing with Kids
Had a fabulous day at Loveland this weekend, with the buddies 3rd time trying the slopes. We had had loads of fun though the drive to the mountains on 1-70/1-25 is still a real bummer.

Six Word Memoirs
From the Book, Not Quite What I Was Planning, some 6 word family memoirs:
Secret agent of entropy, blamed brother.
Never delicate flower, always hearty weed.
She wins hearts whereever she goes.
Passed gas till poop came out.
Bed games great till kids came.

Never a Bad Snowflake
Having some fun this year with friends in the great white uplift known as the Rocky Mtns. Could just as well be the Windy Mtns most times, but there have been some really stellar powder days.
Me, I'm bi - enjoying mixing it up with some AT & some Tele. Seems like the snow doesn't really care what I do. Lots of smiles all the way around.
