My husband

is soooo COOL! Check him out at Mary Jane a few weeks ago. He's been snowboarding for 15 years now or so. and skied for years before that even. Ethan so wants to go skiing - next year he can take lessons, for now he has to be content with jumping in snow banks and sledding at the school up the street.

One of my Christmas presents to Mike was a weekend trip to Silverton Mountain - it has the highest and steepest terrain in North America. This time of year the only way to go is with a guide. He and our friend Chris had an awesome time and ended up taking 4 runs as well as an hour hike (so glad I didn't go....). If you know Mike, you know that this was his idea of perfection. and will also be an annual event.
