Happy New Year everyone. I started my year off by eating something sweet (so sweet things come out of your mouth all year). Some people might wonder that I actually do this, but yes, I try anyway. Then I heard the roar of fighter jets in the sky, so I ran outside in my jammies and slippers to see this:

Trudi came over for the authentic Chinese dinner last night. She’s hilarious. We had not seen her in months. I always feel like I’m rushing to tell her things and hear her stories because we have so much to catch up on. I appreciate how honest she is about herself, and also that she has a great sense of humor. Hope her eyeball surgery went A-OK today. This is what we had for dessert – apple cranberry crisp:

And then I sent Trudi home with most of it. Too many desserts – I don’t want them in my house anymore!! That girl is too thin, anyway. I need to fatten her up with more cooking…

Mammoth was nice this weekend. In fact, I’m convinced it was better over Xmas b/c we saw a gazillion people driving up to Mammoth yesterday as we were driving home. What a zoo. Big storm coming, should dump some nice powder. The mountain was hard pack and crusty/icy in places. Saturday was windy and so we actually got a nice inch of powder on some runs. Then Jeremy took a spill and we decided to call it quits (after I did a big mogul field and decided not to push my luck). We put his knee and ankle on ice and I think it helped reduce the swelling, but he’s going to see the trainers today. We also took Kaweah around Rock Creek on Christmas Day:

Boy did she have fun…
