Yesterday, two of my kids got to do something very few people do in Colorado: Ski on July 4th. We headed out about 4 miles from our house to an undisclosed area on Marble Peak.

The hike up was warm, and the ski down fun, if not challenging. My ski got stuck in a small bush that was sticking out of the snow like a tiny rainbow. I fell, the ski released, and I stopped with my head hanging down into a crevasse with water rushing down below me. Cool .

That was one 4th of July never to forget.
