Totally off topic, but since it’s my blog, it’s my place for celebration!

I live in Southern California. After more than 5 years of BAD local skiing, the SNOW is BACK.

I’ll be at Mountain High on Friday. You know it’s good when even our junker local mountains are covered in the white stuff.

Equipment update: I put in three days in Heavenly in December, and after feeling like I was going to lose fingers, I upgraded to new Outdoor Research Women’s Southback Gloves.

Maybe the holes in my old gloves should have been a clue. We will see if the new ones live up to the expert reviews. My kid and I are also heading to Park City next week, so the gloves (and my legs) will get a good workout.
