Stare down. Moving snow tableau 'neath skis and poles still life is mesmerizing.

Two brothers with skis growing out of the bottoms of their feet. Title, who has 50MM vertical feet of skiing under his belt, was admonished the other day by a member of the ski police to not point his pole as an indicator to skiers behind of the direction he was skiing. Go figure.

Peterbilt has recovered from some health problems and looks great. Great to see him back where he belongs... on skis.

Skied six lifts with Dentist after mid-morning break. January conditions. Smooooooth. At break, Peterbilt, said the snow was "like butter."

Went to Mezz's and Magnolia's house for annual chili lunch. Chili specially prepared, according to a secret recipe, by Mezz himself,

Pictured is TIMDT's take home portion of secret recipe chili. She was unable to attend the Mezz/Magnolia chili fest as she was assisting Portland, who has a bug, with Z, Grrr, and Roy.

Sans Grandpa Mezz who was nursing a ski fall stretched leg tendon (no major damage) back at the condo. Mezz made pancakes for the group this AM.

These Nashville girls are real skiers now. Great conditions today... light layer of new snow over groomed. Sun came through around 11:00 AM. Spring... but, it looks like winter out there!

Girls awaiting the arrival of a new brother. Three year old adopted Chinese boy, now with their (the adoptive) parents in Beijing and ready to head back to Nashville. Girls proudly showed images of their new brother... a very happy looking three year old boy.

Always fun to see the youthful work in progress products of good parenting.

Two feet of new snow last three days of the month. Return of winter.
