Hi Mike,
I am going to do the magic snow dance for all the skiers in the Great Lakes Area. I am in Genoa Nevada right now, just came back from skiing at Kirkwood California XC. Beautiful day.
I plan on going up to Royal Gorge in a few days, and then fly up to Washington to meet a friend in Methow valley. I'll try to keep you updated with more pictures.
I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday.
