Remember that puzzle box from the last post? Last night I discovered that when the weather has been crap for long enough, it can be a problem. Smokey and I stayed up about 3 hours past my bedtime putting together the polar bear puzzle while watching Dukes of Hazard and Gilmore Girls. We're now out of netflix. Turns out the box has 3 puzzles in it. He did the penguin one mostly without me while I was out playing in the snow for 3 days learning about how not to die in an avalanche. I would love to show you some pictures of that, but I couldn't keep the camera batteries warm enough to boot up the camera. That and a guy from one of the groups I volunteer with was also there, with a very impressive camera and he promised to send me his pictures. As soon as I get 'em I'll show you Hatcher Pass in all her glory. And you'll drool and love it. I might have to buy skis now. To go with my new beacon. And a snow saw. Maybe some new poles too. The list never seems to get shorter, why is that?
Smokey says he's going to try out his new studded bike tires today. I have to pick up the organic produce box, so we couldn't both ride. I get my turn tomorrow, so stay tuned for details of riding on ice with a thin layer of snow on top. Not sure how that will go since I almost fell on my hinney one step out the door with the dogs this morning.

Riding on snow can be a slippery adventure. I slippery memories of riding back and forth to the airport on the ice in Ellensburg. Be careful and as always try to have fun.
checkout this link to a slide show about the mud/snow slide at hyac on Snoqualmie Pass a couple weeks ago.
