Look at that boy go!  Guess that's the end of the road for Nakiska after 2 years of season's passes.  Hard to beat LL.

Dad gets his kicks now too, with Ramon going the easier way down the backside.  (Studley...stay away from the rocks!)

Doesn't get better than this.  Spring skiing the backside of LL  with my little man :)
