Happy New Year!
Christmas came and went. It was good but a little too busy running around for a little baby. The Flathead was good. It snowed a ton in town but not so much up in the mountains. Christmas Eve we went up to get a little snowboarding in just outside of Jewel Basin. It was super fun. A little gray and cloudy overhead but once we got up on the ridge the sun was just glimmering of Flathead Lake to the south of us. Julia got all gussied up for Christmas and thoroughly enjoyed tearing into wrapping paper more that the actual Christmas part. I posted a photo of her with her Grandpa Martin. From there I went up and got some snowboarding in at Big Mountain. It was pretty good. Sunny every day surprisingly. It was fun riding with my brother and the rest of the crew that was up for the holidays. Jenny got some shiny new tele skis for Christmas so we went up Night Skiing a couple times to go try them out. To top off the holiday we went up with the Russell fam New Years day and stayed up at Big Mountain for the Night. Played a little Dominos. Got up and headed back home for Bozeman. It was a pretty nice drive. Down the East Shore of Flathead Lake there was about a foot of snow on the ground or more in places and the clouds opened up at sunset for a killer view of the Missions above St. Ignacious.
