we left our pets and van in colombia to visit family in the usa
goodbye van just kidding i gotta shut off the light
well it's the big day i used to be in the habit every year just grow it long shave it off grow it
long shave it off so this time i went three and a half years but it's time you don't want me to
cut it right i would love you to kind of should be quite the transformation here if i don't like
it i'll probably just shave it off after that and the other thing about it is for christmas
positivity positive vibes we're gonna donate all this hair to locks of love so that'll be nice
i know but you're so good looking and i couldn't see you before
oh this is a really cool cat did your wife choose her
good morning we are heading up silver mountain it's still dark outside and
we're trying to make first chair right now but we have to go and get some rentals
and it's about an hour away i'm really excited for a good day
it's snowed enough that it should be a really fun time we know that the van's okay and our little
pets are okay so it's going well here yo new haircut here back in spokane one of the best
things has actually been the mexican food getting this drive-through burrito on the way to the ski
ah yeah so we went to silver mountain so it was uh all sold out now we're gonna head over to lookout
so she said there was still availability and we're gonna get there right before first chair
okay
yeah it's been an epic day up here look out past our first day and since we were skiing like full
time with the van basically that was i think the most clear-cut mission we've ever had with the van
you just know what you're gonna do every morning and that's your life's goal
i feel like it made us super happy because we just knew we were gonna do every day and we just did
that and did our best at it and it's just such a fulfilling life i really recommend it you know we
had the icon pass so 40 mountains on the pass for 600 one day at one of these fancy resorts is 200
but they don't really think you're gonna travel around to 36 mountains like we did
the snow here has been really good all day i feel like we've been finding secret stashes
it's just an awesome wandering around here this really motivates me to get the van down to chile
down to argentina and ski bum a whole other winner down there yeah it just feels good to be up the
mountain you know feels like i've never taken my snowboard off yeah i'm doing pretty good for
snowboarding huh yeah you're doing great i mean danny just started snowboarding like last year
yeah i'm a beginner snowboarder so my footy isn't some crazy pro going through a crazy thing but you
know what you can watch me crash a lot so we got some of that good crash footy this morning but
i'm really staying up pretty well now i mean i'll hit a big patch of powder and get stuck in there
a bit but that's part of the fun you know what's most important is you don't get down on yourself
just get back up and keep going and it's been epic doing that i'll probably go ski next time
no it's so good here and yeah i'm just so glad we got to come up here and stay up here didn't
have to take any breaks you can just ski all day long it's like my favorite thing in the world
hey babe already such good snow mountain power
our last couple of runs have been so good yeah snowboarding is crazy compared to skiing you
just feel extra such a different feel to it that i really enjoy yeah definitely a
different workout and the only thing that's the same is the snow i guess
yeah the workout is intense for me because on skis i don't really have to try it on this i'm like
getting up again and you know i'll go down pretty quick right oh you every time i don't even think
you've slipped that last round but either way it has been so much fun up here and i'm so glad danny
tried out snowboarding again because he really loves the snow another reason to get out here
this is the best part about rentals is you can ski ride to the car is it really far
this is it i got the hallway here
so here is our at-home covid test to decide if we get to see dave for christmas
do you know what you're doing lady yeah i'm reading the directions
okay sounds like she kind of do you know what you're doing with this dad you've done this before
nope no we haven't done it now we wait excruciating excruciating weight negative
that's a good shot too
that's what's up
ah
coming
more moisture in the air so if it's cold enough a lot of snow
is getting colder but there is so much snow you can get stuck
up to your waist at least when you see a whole field full of powder you better go fast
and don't stop and if you see some tracks you might have to follow for
a minute when it gets flat but wow it is like the ideal day up here 18 inches
here we go
whoa emily getting there in style
we're in hd
look at this
missing a bag
thank you babe high five i can't wait to get sombrita and graham tomorrow
yeah unfortunately they did lose one of our bags so we uh we'll be around so hopefully the bag gets
here tonight and we can just go pick it up before we get the pets in the morning wow they said there
