ski season opens - big snowfall
Our first full week back has been eventful . M has been back at work for guest services and doing a sterling job of `booth 2 ` carparking duties. The tree house stint is a difficult one for her though due to extreme cold and her particular spot gets no sun.
I've had a pretty severe blooding as Snowmass Village shuttle bus driver with some testing driving conditions. 3 night shifts under my belt - 3.30 to 11.15 with an hour in the middle . A lot of fun though and rarely a dull a moment. All the buses are slightly different and 2 radio systems to work as well as coping with passenger enquiries , traffic and snowy road conditions. Challenging . A terrific lot of colleagues though all of whom are hugely supportive.
Over 2 feet of snow have fallen in last 48 hours. That on top of a good base on the mountain led to some wonderful skiing today. We had an hour boarding ( or trying to ) before heading up on the Village express and then to Big Burn. Fabulous .
The photos of our deck at Meadow Ranch and those taken on the mountain give an idea of the sort of snow storm that is standard for this time of year and which is invariably followed by a week of sunshine - albeit very low temperatures day and night.

Mum and Dad - love your updated blog site! SO much easier to access than 100 photos on the Kodak website!
I'm so jealous of all that snow and sunshine. The conditions look amazing. The skiing and boarding must be so much fun and hopefully it's not too cold yet.
Keep posting photos and entries - it's such a great way to hear your news.
Missing you both - mornings in my flat without you both sprawled on the floor doing back exercises, radio 4 blaring in the background and earl grey tea in the pot just aren't the same!
