Snowmobiling

At the beginning of March, Brian, his parents and I traveled to Winter Park Colorado. The purpose of the trip was for Brian and his dad to do their practice ski run. The ultimate goal is to ski some amazing place in Banff Canada for several days (I think). However, since it has been several years since Brian skiied and maybe more than a decade since his dad has, they thought they should practice. Barb and I went for fun and moral support should it be harder than they were expecting.

So it turns out that skiing was fine and they skiied one lovely warm day but the next day, we all decided to go snowmobiling. That was awesome! It was the first time I had been on a snowmobile so I was quite surprised when I found out that I got a cush seat and even hand warmers. This was the way to do "cold weather sports".

We rode the snowmobiles up to the Continental Divide and back down for about a total of a two hour ride. It was a blast. It was really sunny so we got lots of icy patches on the way down to slide around in.
