The Manhattan crew my son and his family left for home this am , the Boston connection my daughter family still here till Sunday .

The family posse hit the mountain yesterday for a great day of skiing . My one grandson was back up on them after a year long medical layoff . the kid did great we took him down some tough stuff and he handled it like a champ.


He had a rough year and was really itching to get back out there . He's 13 was the first one dressed and out there and frankly i don't think he slept much the nite before.

It Was great to see a huge grin on his face all day and last nite as we had a big italian dinner for all 11 he
couldn't shut up about his big day back in the saddle .-- a pretty great Christmas present for ALL of us in the family posse to witness

That's awesome, WD!! : ) Congrats to your grandson.

Christmas was nice, but we get to do it all over again this weekend. Number one son arrives tomorrow with wife and son; the whole gang will be together from Thursday through Sunday. Not sure what the skiing schedule will be, but tomorrow night's a big party...number one is turning 30 next week. Lots of friends and relatives coming to celebrate. Happy New Year!!

We did it!! It was only one day, but the bros were able to ski together for two days. #1 was only here for three, so it was awesome!

I like "he wanted it and damn he looks good in it..." YAY for grampie being able to do that.

My gang humored me and posed for picture. : )

Nice!

Right now, trying to figure out what to bake today. Decided to give in and turn my blog into a food blog... so now I have to produce some material. It's a reason to bake, at least. ;)

Heading off to Blue Mountain. Unfortunately, I have to be on a critical con-call at 8:30 that should only take half an hour, could last until 10. I stayed up until 1am getting my departments presentation done. I'm tired...but there's going to be Pocono Powder today so it's worth it! :daffy:

I was going to head to the hill with the kids... until I discovered they broke the door off my daughter's dresser, wrote in crayon all over their bedroom door...on top of the huge mess they already made. Seems like too much of a reward to bring them skiing now.

Sitting in Wegmans on Route 248, in Nazareth PA on a conference call. I was hoping to take this from the parking lot at Blue, but I hit some traffic getting out here.

About 2" on the ground so far.

My call is going m-u-c-h longer then expected, so now I'm having a Blue Point Brewing Company Winter Ale for breakfast. :beer:

How far is Moorestown from the mighty Blue?

Edit:
Eeew. 95 miles with a traffic jam. That sounds like a very bad idea.

At least two hours. You have 3 choices. South of Philly, through Philly, or North of Philly.

The first and last choices take you out of the way, but might be the wiser choice depending on 76 traffic.

FWIW, I avoid 76 like the plague.

I was toying with grabbing a night there since it looks like I will be at the Comcast Moorestown facility 2 or 3 days per week for the next few months. When you live 2 miles from the K1 gondola in the winter, a 2 hour ride in traffic doesn't have much appeal. From here, 2 hours gets me just about anywhere in Vermont except Jay Peak.

Off the mountain and eating lunch. Skiing was great for the first 45 minutes until the fresh snow got tracked out. There isn't enough base to venture off the manmade. I lost my enthusiasm for Saturday skiing after a few hours when the masses arrived.
