I hope you had a great
Christmas and New Year’s
Day. Charlie and I had
fun skiing nearly every
day between the two holi-
days. The one lousy, wet

rest anyway. Snow fell
the following day and we
continued our ski camp
tradition.

playing ski camp. We eat,
ski, eat, ski, eat, work
on skis and then sleep
and repeat this plan each
day. Sometimes we mixed
it up with downhill in
the morning and cross-
country skiing in the af-
ternoon. Other days we
might do double sessions Happy Snowboarders at Cannon! Cannon Mountain’s Peabody
