    Next season we have to set up a Ski day , when my two sons can tear the mountain up, looking at the back of your skis. Every time my son Caleb comes along, he turns the day into a speed festival . I want him to feel the way I do, always seeing him from his backside.

    Ski Day Tracking 2022 - 2023

    My take on Belleayre and Gore also. On the chair with Harv, I mentioned, I wish Gore was so much closer to NEPA, my home. He replied , what helps make Gore what it is , is where it’s located. My wife wants to retire South, I want to go North!
