We have non-skiers as guests this weekend so we didn't ski yesterday.  We climbed Mt. Peg instead.  Then we took the Killington sleigh ride up to the dinner yurt.  Really cool.  There are only two in the United States (they say).  I think the other one is in Utah.  It was really, really windy which made for a romantic atmosphere.  We got home and climbed the eight foot mountain of snow that had come off of our roof so we could drink a beer and look at the full moon.  That was another very cool thing to do.  

I woke up today and they said they had eight inches of new snow.  I talked Kim in to skipping out on our guests for a couple of hours to hit the slopes of Pico.  Big mistake.  That wind that was blowing last night made for a nice shinny sheet of ice today.  We took three dangerous and very unpleasant runs (especially on tele's) and headed to Bently's to meet up with our house guests.  It was packed in there!

Oh here they come up the stairs now after returning from the Farmers Market where they just bought the ingredients for our dinner.  We are supposed to have six inches of snow tonight and tomorrow.  I'll keep you posted.  My amiga Mary is coming up on Wed. for my bday weekend.  My sisters will follow.  Maybe Bobby T is coming as well but we never know until he is actually on the road.  He doesn't like to make commitments just in case something comes up...literally (like Madonna again).  

Until then,
