XCD day #25.
That's gonna be it for this side of the mountain now. After a whole week of pure pleasure, week-end skiers from the city came and totally destroyed my beautiful playground. There is one thing I just cannot bear at all: the sight of other skier's tracks.

Look ma, no cables!™

Pun intended?

How much snow did you guys end up with?

We had a foot, it's all slush now. So it could be worse.

The baby has skis on? Damn... I hope the wife opt's for a c-section...

In all seriousness, it must be getting close. I hope all goes well!

CIMA needs a pair of Alaska's to really be complete.

I mean c'mon, how could you hate a ski and boot as sexy as that? Wish I had cool bindings on mine instead of lame-o Voile HD's.
