Following our week of skiing in Colorado, we continued our road trip in the campervan by moving on to southern Utah, starting with several days of hiking among the rock formations and arches throughout Arches National Park. Darlene was also able to snag a permit for us to spend a day scrambling over and squeezing between rocks in the Fiery Furnace.

Darlene and I joined Jon, Jim, Bill, Stan and Lewis for our annual week of skiing and board gaming, this time in Colorado in early March. We got a decent amount of fresh snow over the week as we skied at Breckenridge, Keystone and Copper Mountain.

The 2024-25 ski season in Tahoe wasn’t great. Plenty of moisture but that often included rain which would muck up the snow and freeze hard overnight and then it was often really warm, in the 40’s and 50’s through the whole season. We did hit up Northstar and Sugar Bowl over three days with Geof and Jennifer in early January, and a few days at Palisades and Alpine before and after our ski trip / road trip to Colorado and Utah in March.
We also encountered a bobcat along the road in our neighborhood who was so focused on what was happening down the street that he didn’t care that we stopped alongside of him to gawk and take pictures.

We hosted a movie night with friends to watch Wicked (Part 1) and Darlene and I dressed for the occasion:
Nacho and Adriana get officially married this time!
Lots of thirsty neighbors…
