Christmas in Montana

We had the ride of our lives last week trying to get to Montana for Christmas. After 17 hours of driving in these conditions, we finally made it to Whitefish, Montana and skiing heaven!
It was so cold, with powder galore! I don't think it ever got above 20 degrees. It was closer to 5 most days. Burrrrrrr! Thank goodness for hand and toe warmers. Whoever invented those is a genius! Check out the trees in the background. Beautiful.
Kristen, these next pictures are for you:
Santa came to Montana on Christmas Eve and ate the goodies we left him. The reindeer had a fight over the carrots and some landed in the dirt! These masked bandits opened ski masks on Christmas Eve.
If you look closely up the hill behind the family and you'll see a blaze on the hill. On Christmas Eve there was a parade of skiers with Santa bringing up the rear. It was so cool!

Our last day of skiing we skiied all afternoon, right up until the very last run of the day, then came back and made snow angels. What a fantastic trip!
