More snow.

Yesterday we woke up to this. By this morning, however, the snow
had melted away and the sky was a vibrant blue.

So very soon after I first stepped onto the snowy wonderland, I noticed this little “ride” over to my right. To me, it looked like a training tool of some sort, but actually it’s just this revolving rope that helps you get up a small slope to the lodge. It looked completely innocuous. The kids were handling it just fine, and it looked like an area I could get comfortable with. At the end of the day I approached the base at the bottom to give it a shot. I grabbed hold of the rope, and I held on for about 3 feet worth before I slipped sideways and tumbled down towards the tree. Right there are then, I could imagine my brothers just losing it watching me.
And it’s the kids that really make you feel worthless out there when you’re puttering around trying to learn. There were 3 year olds zooming past me on skis––no joke.

Oh, I had an absolute blast trying this out. The past few days though, have been rather painful.
OK, so since today marks the first day on the calendar of predictions (Hello Sydney!), we’re posting the summary of the guesses. May the best guess win! (Also, if you haven’t put in your guess, it’s not too late!)

Update: Panzy and Poppy’s guesses are in (“man-child”!) as are some additional special guests!
