On the way to Starbucks….

Hmmmm, no new snow overnight…but there’s a frozen substance on the ground, so there’s hope…

Excitement about slaying the Midwest gnar gnar = priceless!

Time to start the youngsters on coffee….

The mountain range…

Yay! A Ski Field!

Looking groomerific!

I think, yep, I’ll demo some of these….

Nobody told me this place was in Carve City!

First run…..lets just say they aren’t the only ones tired…

Julia goes for the land speed record of the day…

Of course, she doesn’t hold back showing me her patented ‘switch schmear’….

Hannah utilizing the pitch to get some faceshots….
