Ballet

Our little town is not immune to culture. The Nutcracker ballet this year was fantastic.

Winter at the ridge

Our local ski authority has won the battle to keep hurricane ridge open all year. We had our weekends, but in the past it was always closed during the weekday. Now at least folks can hike some runs and pretend like we are at a resort in Aspen, or Whistler without the lifts and crowds. As fun as it is in the larger crowded places I kinda like our backyard. I took a photo yesterday of the mountainside with one twisty snowboard track decorating the snow. I thought of an advertisement that would say something like "you could be this guy" with a big arrow pointing to the run. It's nice to still have a place to go where it's easy to be "that guy".

Cmon up and play.
