A redneck road trip west....

[csb]

I have an eight-year-old. When all the married people with no kids were watching us and laughing at us with our baby, I knew one day this time would come. Have fun changing diapers! My model is now self-cleaning.

This.

Add in the fact that I'll be 45 when my youngest heads off for college, I can also laugh at the parents who waited until they were 40.

Honest question... how does one ski up?

I guess I meant ski down. But I have an alpine touring setup that allows us to do this stuff at closed ski areas and when big spring storms hit at our house: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ski_touring no, I don't know who those people are.

Did someone mention Aspen and skiing? I know a little about that...

I went cross country skiing with MP last winter. Much more difficult and not as fun as downhill. And I still fell on my a$$.

Yeah, the tank took quite a bit of abuse that day.

As far as skiing up--I usually just push myself up with the poles, good for an upper body workout as well as lower (I solely cross country ski, though).

I think I'll stay in the south... I spent enough time in the snow prior to my 30th birthday

Awesome pics Road Guy! Best of luck at your new location. My in-laws are retiring to the Springs next year.

I voluntarily moved to the coldest state in the lower 48.

-30 this winter is gonna be a thrill. The summer was beautiful though. Not too hot, light til 10:30, and so much less humid than the northeast.

dress in layers. get a face mask. you'll be fine. Might want to get doggie boots for the pup.

I thought Montana was the coldest?

 

[Road Guy]

Bad pic.. But I guess there really is no justification for any of us to own cars!

 

[engineergurl]

[knight1fox3]
