Little buddy , No.8 bus route and Fairfax visit
Highlights of last 2 weeks have been getting our little buddy James on skis for 1st time, playing solo oboe in Snowmass chapel on Sunday morning service ( congregation warned of potential disasters RTO style ahead of performance ) , and visit of Fiona, Gina and Tim Fairfax. Off to Beaver Creek to ski with them for a day next week. Between times , managed to get out of bus to take these 2 photos from Horseranch No 8 bus route on a morning which, with cloud build up, hinted prospect of snow for late afternoon.

Mary in her element
Mary is enjoying her role as lead in guest services for Ski Co on Snowmass Mtn. The top photo shows her arriving back home from work at lunchtime complete with 2 way radio, parking permits, yellow parking vest and kitted out for - 12 F temperatures. She loves it . Also shown are some of her charges at the recent international dinner for her department - a lot of varied nationalities. She keeps them up to the mark !
Other 2 photos - one from the village market looking up to the partly completed new base village and the ski slopes beyond and the other is of the view from our deck looking westward .
It's been a fabulous skiing season with almost as much snow as last year . Powder skiing to die for .
Bus driving going OK albeit some pretty challenging conditions. With economy as it is ( and plunging pound against dollar which materially affects our position ) , we're lucky to have jobs . I continue to revel in driving all day amid such spectacular scenery and with ( mainly ) interesting and almost always grateful passengers - and I always play good classical music on my bus . About one in ten comments favourably - what nice music they say !
Already planning next bike trip - prob Texas hill country - in Austin area.
