new skis!

Last winter, once again, I realized I was out skiing my skis.  Don't get me wrong, the Solomon Mynx are great all mountain skis, however, I am completely infatuated with the deeeeeeep powder and needed some of those "water ski" fat skis.  Had eyed a pair toward the end of the season last year, saw them at the store this summer, and finally purchased them this fall.  Skied on them this past Saturday, love them! They were surprisingly great on the groomed trails...

Now I just need some powder!  Please snow!

fall break

We just had a four day weekend which was so fantastic! We headed south to Alamosa and went to The Great Sand Dunes National Park with our friends Tiff and Rick and their 10 year old twin boys Keegan and Rohnan.  The weather was perfect sunny fall weather with cool evenings by the fire. We spent time relaxing, hiking up the dunes and then sledding down, playing bocce ball, eating yummy food, and exploring. Click on "the holt clan" link on our page to view some more pics our friends posted. Tiff has also explained our fun weekend in great detail. My blogging will hopefully become more frequent and more detailed when I finish graduate school. Only 3 more classes to go!
