Friends were not able to join us on the last snow weekend of the year because of the 4th grade flu. We still went to Whitetail and had a good time skiing, snowboarding, hanging out with Ava/Rocco/others, and socializing with Heather/Mark and company.
Julia did some snowboarding. I did the best I could with my phone -- since I left the GoPro in McLean.
At the end of the video I was hit by a beginner skier. After 20 runs of blues, blacks, and jumps ... my first accident was on a green trail :-).
Losing the big pine tree in the back yard was a bummer. Losing our hiding place for junk wood and other miscellaneous things was a bigger bummer.
A trip to the dump got rid of a lot of the mess ... but since they charge by weight, we decided to burn some of the rotting wood and pine branches.
The wobbly fire pit and the crummy wood worked out quite well for smores!
Team Johnson hit the slopes. Day 1 was nice and warm, Day 2 was chilly with new snowmaking. Day 3 was perfect conditions, but it was senior citizen day ... 50 and over only.

Don't worry, that sign didn't stop me.
Here we are on Day 1 trying to figure out the user interface on the GoPro.
