If you have not noticed by now that the blog came to a screeching halt.  You must need to read this more often.  After the list we took a break from several things and blogging was one of them.  We are now starting to get back into several of the things we let go.  So let's recap December so we are all on the same page.  On the first, we started to woder if the snow was going to come to Wolfcreek or not.  The runs were rocky, the days were warm and the tickets were half price.  We found a couple rocks right away but nothing that caused our boards to have some reconstruction surgey.  The little snow there was turned to ice and then getting off the chair turned into a extreme sport all to itself.  The treasure chair became the most difficlut/exciting.  There was this kinda launch pad with a SLOW sign 15' away that acted as a safety net for people who could not go SLOW.  On the way up to the top, the rider on the chair would have to get all ready to hit the launch, try to avoid the minefield of people, and try to turn around the SLOW sign.  Eventually after many tangles, they removed the slow sign and you were left with just a runway of ice.  Shortly thereafter, we started to see some snow fall.  It came a foot at a time.  Nothing like the 90" in two weeks like last year.  You had to be carfeull out there.  I found a nice stump that left a pretty rainbow colors on my leg.  I think now it is blackish purple.  Hey it matches my coat, though.   Billi's new board is working great for her.  She can carve harder know and is riding the trees with a smile.  The crowds are starting to show up so that means people standing in the middle of the lines, on top of our boards, and parking were they don't belong. 

In other news, I think Luci, our new beagle, is trying to be the first one up in the household every morning  If she is not ready to come out of her kennel by 4:30AM then she must really be tired and sleeping in till 5:00.  Also, with us doing little at work because of the weather, I have some time off so I can get caught up on some of the things we need to do to the house.  It also gives some more time to go snowboarding.  Our Xmas tree was sad this year because we never found the time to get any of the decorations on it, so it just stood tall with some lights and a big star.
