Look Where I Will Be...


Yes, I do own a pair of ski pants just like those...but, I promise, it's not me!  We are just a few weeks away from some real fun...Check out where I will be volunteering for a whole week!  Really, it could be worse...

Each year, I take a week off work and use one week of vacation to...well, work!  Ha.


                                                   THIS WOULD BE ME!!!



Here's a picture from last year.  There's nothing like the Aerials...and being a chopper"! I'm chopping air pockets with my shovel that are 2-3 feet deep in the mountain to soften the impact of the athlete's fall (when there is one, which is 1/3 the time)...a real workout!  But, something very much needed for this competition!!



And if I'm not too tired after my shift, it's on over to the Provo River to cast a few flies in the water...Well, it's only ten min. down the road... ; )  Wouldn't you? 


                                               Oh No!!! Now he's following me!


And him too?

  1. Very cool when you get to "work" doing things you love. I always incorporate fishing into my work...just not now!

    Damsel, maybe Rodney wants to go skiing...

  2. You know, I never thought of Rodney being a "cool" dude...As long as he isn't trying to trip me up...he can follow me to ALTA tomorrow.
    But, he better be on his best behavior!
