To ski or not to ski?

Alexi and I headed up to Duluth for a Spirit Mountain ski weekend. We had 40 degree weather (dreamy on the face, but not so dreamy on the skis) and spent out time laughing and joking. It was a "yes" weekend all the way - "Can we go into the chocolate shop and get chocolate espresso beans?" Yes! "Can I have another coke?" Yes! "Can we go to the jacuzzi with 400 kids playing around?" Yes!

Julie, Allison and Ben joined us for a Sunday morning ski. Jules (aka ski patrol in action) let us assist on a snowboarder bail out. We helped load and transport a fallen snowboarder who crashed and burned! Fun fun! The funniest part was Julie waiting minutes to respond to the ski patrol call hoping she didn't have to deal with it on her last run! Jules - you crack me up!

All in all, 2.5 hours yielded a blast of a weekend.
