Ski 1000!

I wish I had several pictures documenting Brandon's efforts to achieve the goal of skinning & skiing 1000 feet vertical every day in the month of January, but my words will have to suffice...so, picture this:

Brandon skinned and skiied in the worst conditions I have ever seen, including rain, dense fog, crunchy ice, freezing rain chunks, and ice-rink ice. You might notice the absence of 'snow' in that list of conditions. Sometimes, he would complete one up-&-down lap at 11:30pm and then complete another lap just after midnight, fulfilling the 'daily' part of the goal.

When January 31 rolled around, Brandon turned to me and said "Maybe I'll continue this goal into February." (Sigh). Let's just say that I was quite glad when he didn't go up the next day...but I am proud of him for persevering with the Ski 1000 goal!
