Ski Patrol

Move over Snow Bunnies, there's a new animal on the slopes!  It has been said that the brave don't live forever, but the cautious don't live at all.  So here's to you Snow Guinea, enjoy all the frigid air, excessive schlepping up the mountain, and near death experiences a ski adventure has to offer. 

 

The Elusive Yeti

Here are some Yeti fun facts to start off your Tuesday.  Yeti Motto:  "The powder is falling, the mountains are calling."  Off the slopes, Yeti enjoy making snow angels... which look less like an angel and more like an abominable bowling ball.  They also love a rousing game of hide and go seek.  Yeti or not, here I come!
