until this past friday we were unaware that we both had the day off on monday. bonus! we set up to venture out to crystal mountain ski resort with a few friends from rei: sarah, chad [who's been skiing this area for the past 15-20 years], and caleb. it was zero degrees on the slopes and the top ridge was closed down for wind gusts of 45 mph, but that didn't stop us!
my skis [blue] are soooo old! but they were free!
you can't beat the pacific sun. not even with a stick!
what don't you see?let me help: rain and starbucks!
don't believe everything you read on the internet about seattle.
the calm before the storm.
the smell so alluring. breathe deep and hold.yankee candle doesn't have anything on cedar or evergreen!
breakin' at the snorting elk. chad and caleb.
chillin'. seriously...it was cold!
andrea decided to really warm up with a 'face plant,' a wonderful concoction of peppermint schnapps, rum, and hot chocolate. simply divine.
brooke, chad, sarah, and caleb on the way up to the top to tear some stuff up.
mountain man mustache.after looking at so many gear catalogs over the years, i
have longed for the day that i would sport an icy frozen
'stache... revel in it!
the shuttle back to the car. chad and sarah. we couldn't findcaleb, so we did what any tired skiers would do...we left him
behind.
after we went back for caleb, and found him, we finished ourouting at rainier pub and grill in enumclaw [land of evil spirits].
this was a rockin' day, friends...let's do it again!

That was an awesome day...well put in the infamous blog! We should all do it again someday!
Wow, reminded me of a distant time when I had two knees and friends in Michigan to ski with. I happily pass the baton... or ski pole.... on to you two. Be kind to your knees..... you'll miss them when they are gone! I could tell you had a fun day. I could smell the cedar thru my iMac.
I really liked the second to the last picture in your album. What beautiful smiles.... what beautiful teeth! No doubt they enabled two orthodontists and their families to vacation in the Caribbean!
You guys always have so much fun! The next big thing on my priority list is to come out and visit :) Andrea, I want a faceplant too! Brooke, your facial hair is awesome. Don't ever shave.
