Red Mountain Pass, Dec. 28-31, 2006
My winter break was two weeks long, and we decided to spend it locally. After the truck was totalled, we came back to Santa Fe and took an unexpectedly long time to re-tile our bathroom. Our Moms came out to visit, I got sick, and when I got better, we headed to Colorado with Peter for some skiing. While we were there, skiing under bluebird skies with nary a flake of new snow, we missed the epic, record-setting storm in Santa Fe.

The ski out was really fun. Here's Aaron after the only time I've known him to biff.
