A Little fun in the Snow



























Work is work and play is play... We have had a long couple of weeks leading up to Christmas. Amid all of the last minute shopping, work has been very busy. All those folks who wait until the end of the year for annual water testing are driving Kelly mad, and Ryan had to fly to Juneau for a week to help out the lab on short notice. So, we took a MUCH deserved play day to go test out one of our local sled spots. We found this hill just a short ways from the house. After a few warm-up runs and stretches, we began blazing a few descent sled runs out of the fresh snow.



Once we had the runs sufficiently packed out for maximum speed and distance; we finished out the day polishing up our trick sledding skills, before retiring to a cold car and a little hot chocolate.






All in all we had a great time! We just hope we did not creep out the locals with our lack of appropriate "sled-aged" followers. Hey, we were just checking out the hill for the nieces and nephews… should be OK. But we’ll keep looking for a better one, just in case.
