The below are pictures that explain our x-mas STAYcation so far. I have been able to get on skis and play locally everyday since school has been out...with family and friends and hope this can continue with local friends, family and canines into the new year!
Happy Holidays!

CHRISTMAS DAY SKI
Local ski where we found some snow to test my new gear: Alpine Touring and I loved it. I am not giving up tele skiing, just branching out!

Dynafit bindings- oh so lite! I am learning the ins and outs and enjoying them.
Linking turns on wind slabs and liking the AT gear. I just had to visualize skiing as a kid back East and I was right at home.
YUp, Skip can find snow anywhere- we found it and enjoyed on this x-mas day!
Happy happy, Merry merry!
