Christmas in Boise

Joanie and I had a nice Christmas. We stayed home and had a lazy day. We woke up this morning to more new snow and 12 inches at our local mountain. I hope to go up tomorrow for a few hours.
The sun comes up so late here it was still dark when we opened presents. Here is the tree with all the lights on. I was blown away by the number of presents that were mailed to us. This is a lot of loot for two people. Even baby to be got some presents.
Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!

Musto Makes Shoes?

When I lived in Raleigh I worked for a company that had the North American import rights for a UK sailing/performance clothing company called Musto. I've met the founder Keith and his son Nigel multiple times. Yesterday I was poking around the Sierra Trading Post outlet looking for last minute Christmas presents and I came across a pair of Musto shoes.

I have a ton of Musto stuff left over from my years of working with them as do a lot of you. I was going to buy this pair just to have them but they were a little too big and my heel kept lifting up which really annoys me. Maybe they will be available in stores in the future.

Baby Stuff

Christmas is coming early in the form of Baby Stuff. We have gotten some clothes, one of the two car seats, baby monitors, boppy, a Dad diaper bag and a Pack and Play. I couldn't resist putting together the Pack & Play. It was too cute.

Attempting to jump at Brighton

On Monday we snuck one more day in at Brighton. There were several natural jumps on the runs. I wanted to hit them but my brain simply won't let me do it. Here's Philip hitting the big one.

And again here with a grab. In the photos of me trying I don't even get off the ground.

We did go try a slightly smaller jump later on that run. Here I am barely getting any air.
No idea who this is but you can see the difference in how he did it. Sol says I need to take a class at Lake Placid where you jump into the pool to trick the brain into actually jumping.
