Fun winter pics

A few fun pics from our last trip to the snow!

My 10 day trip started off with a company trip in Tahoe.  I won this t-shirt as an award for my performance on the last snow trip.  Can you tell how excited i am? 

Then I spent a couple days with cousin D and N.  We secured a spot of the beach for 5 days straight!

Cute pic from the top

They opened the top of the basin the first day we were there.  I'm still not sure why we thought this route would be fun, but it was!

Getting a lecture from Ski patrol before picking our route

Dinner with most of the crew.  N doing what he does best. eating.

This is what happens when 2 inches becomes 6-8 and you still have to grill breakfast and lunch. Super fun!

That snow wasn't there when we arrived.  2 hours later....

Next day chilling with on the beach with our new friend Lucy

Big thanks to E & L for putting up with us and to Adventure Club for a ton of smiles, laughs, and an overall great time!  Go big or go epic.  Fun times.

Aqua Stallion in action

Cousin D's B-friend N has this Z71 Chevy truck named "Aqua Stallion".  We were packed 6 deep into 1 small hotel room somewhere near Breck (we actually had two rooms but Nuckols' wife Lizzy had "altitude sickness" - turns out she's pregnant - so the rest of us partied in one room while she was sick).  I digress... Anywho we watched this big ass truck get stuck in the snow from our window.  It only took N about 5 minutes before he had to offer services (truly one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet).  The result:        
I think Chevy should buy him a new truck or at least use this clip in their next commercial! 

"ACT LIKE YOU'RE FROM WYOMING!"

Oh-yeah, might want to turn the volume down at second 9 for the little ones.
