Climb every mountain

Weekend. Mountains. Cabin. Beer. Candle light. Snow. Good conversations. Ski. Walks. Frozen water pipes. Wine. Snow. Fire place. Magazines galore. Comfy comforters. Way below zero temperatures. Snow. Food. Yummy food. Music. Altitude. Air. Snow. 

Between the hours 9am-7pm, beware of sheep.

(beer in candle light)

That's one of the official logos of the Winter Olympic Games in '94 behind Lisa. It's a man carrying a torch. They cut down a lot of trees to make it, and they still maintain it, 15 years later. Wouldn't you want someone to do that with your logo? 

(literally snowed in)

(made our own path to the cabin. knee deep in snow.)

(that's a lot of trees)

(trees. trees. trees. my view for 3 straight days...ah, breath.)

Climb Every Mountain

I started the year off with my very first snowboarding AND skiing escapade. With warm balls of steel and the will of a patient Glenn & Kat - i was oooooff!!
....it took well over 2hrs to go down the slope my first time [via snowboard....the black trail] and then i switched to skis which got me up & down the slope a whole lot quicker in significantly less pain.

We snuck in a celebration.
....and ended the day at some buddies.
Hooray, i have another hobby.

Good Morning // Its 2009, duh.

The morning of Jan 1st 2009 was well greeted. We watched the international [and traditional] ski jumping game, washed down brown cheese with taquila shots [non-traditional], and got geared up for some cross-country skiing [my new tradition].
...which went really well. ha.
We then settled down at a frozen lake and built a fire [ yes, on the ice] for some hotdog eatin'.
After realizing that being numb in all the important places wasnt actually cool we jumped back into the ass-heated car and headed to Glenn's mum for sweets and giggles.

What's extra special is she handmade my lusekofte for me years ago and i finally got to meet [ hug ] and thank her for the wonderfulness.
Back home we slipped into the sauna Glenn & Kat built in their basement.
c'mon now.
