Annual Sledding Adventure

Well, this year's annual New Year's Day sledding adventure was postponed TWICE due to lack of snow. We knew we'd get that Idaho winter, but it was just a matter of time. So 19 days later, we finally got the snow we needed. As usual, the day did not lack for entertainment. The first "adventure" was pulling into the parking area to find my dad's truck stuck in the snow. Once we dug and pushed the truck out, the sledding began.







 


















One of the great moments came when my father came barreling down the mountain, face first, and hit a small jump. Instead of using the tube to cushion his landing, he used his face as a pole to catapult his body end-over-end. I had seven videos of the day, and that was the one moment I decided to snap a picture instead of video. Take my word, it was a majestic show of human body acrobatic talent. I'm sure he'd love to reenact the moment! The picture right above this paragraph captures the moment leading up to the grand event.




















And of course the day would not be complete without a complete train wreck!
