Oh how we love the USA and especially the NZ dollar against the greenback at the moment. Bozeman has been our home for the past three days and it is fantastic. It is a very laid back, fun town with a university so heaps of different people here too. We skied Bridger Bowl just outside of Bozeman in powder and trees again. The weather was much warmer than Canada and we definitely did not need hand warmers here.
Then up to Big Sky (the biggest skiing in America) and we decided to stay on the mountain. It is beautiful and about 6 foot of snow outside our window. The girls and spud were all jumping out of the spa and rolling in the snow then jumping back in, and just as I was saying it would end in tears, my old AH cut the bottom of his foot. Out of the Spa for him!
We met up with some guys from New England and had a bit of a big night out up the mountain. Three beers and a glass of red wine and I was hammered. Spud reckons it has something to do with drinking alcohol at the height of Mt Cook!
Jordan and Cameron are skiing absolutely fantastically and I am finding myself bringing up the rear more often than not especially when they do tree runs. I just haven't quite got that sussed yet especially up here where the trees are much closer together!
