SNOW!!! Beautiful, beautiful snow:
This is a glimpse at the conditions that greeted us after the first good hill climb onto a hogs back:
When the snow wasn’t blowing it was fantastic though:
Gavin doing a little more sledding while we waiting for Marc to clean the hill:
And speaking of:
A little further up the hill, Gavin tried out his snowboard:
As we trudged up in elevation, conditions in the open areas got worse:
I got stuck, Jim got stuck, and Marc did an excellent job of not getting stuck. With conditions deteriorating, we decided to turn back as it would suck to try and fix anything that may let loose in weather like this:

After lunch we continued the rest of the way back down the corrals, but not before some more sledding and even a little hookey bobbing. Once we were all at the bottom, we aired up:
