Merry Christmas! We had powder dumpage during the outdoor Living Nativity continuing past Candlelight Service last evening here in Leavenworth, WA, in the Wenatchee Mtns. After an early morning breakfast and viewing of a 7 yr. old opening gifts we will be off for a 1/2 day powder tour before Christmas dinner with extended and out-of state family.
God Bless.
Randonnee, nice!
Merry Christmas Lou! Got some Christmas Eve powder in the steeps on Hunstmans yesterday, good times! Best wishes to you and your family!
A very sincere and heartfelt Merry Christmas to you and yours, Lou!! 8″ new at Vail and I got what I wanted for the Holiday. Hope your family got what they wanted too!
Indeed! We just got back from a backcountry day and we found the fresh in abundance! Thanks all for your kind words!
