The winter/snow boots I ordered last week came in today. I ended up getting the Merrell Snowmotion 8 lace-up boots. They fit me very well and are very comfortable. I’m hoping to give them a good workout this weekend both hiking in the snow and also doing some snowshoeing. Hopefully the Polartec keeps my feet warm 🙂

The weather warmed up a little bit today and the snow we got last week finally started to melt. After Amanda and I got back from a short jog, I figured I’d make a quick snowman in the backyard since the snow was perfect for it. While I was making it, Amanda ran inside and grabbed one of my cameras. It was getting dark out, so the pictures aren’t that great….but here’s a few anyways 🙂

That was our excitement for the weekend since we didn’t go anywhere 🙂

Last week I called Powderhorn Resort and signed up for their Learn to Ride Series which is 3 days of lessons which includes the lift and rentals. After completing the three sessions, you then get a season pass for the rest of the year. It looks like a really good deal for a first time skier.

I figure since I live in Colorado, I should try skiing to see if I like it 🙂 I’m really looking forward to it.

I’ll be hitting the slopes for the first time on January 1-3, 2010. A good way to start the year. I’m working on getting in better shape over the next month, so I’m not too sore after three intensive days!

Just a few quick iPhone pictures of our new Jacuzzi that finally showed up yesterday. We are already enjoying it greatly!
