I was home in Pennsylvania for Christmas this year.  It was great to see my family for the Holidays.  I was only home for four days. It's the middle of the season and it's hard to take time away from the slopes. I had an action packed couple of days.  My main goal while I was home was to take my little brothers Shane 9 and Bret 8 skiing for the first time this year and one of their first times ever.  It was really fun and a real challenge at the same time.  At times I found myself skiing down the hill carrying an extra 50 pounds. By the end of the day, both of them could make it down the runs on their own! I also took the chance to meet with the park crew.  My slopestyle event Homecoming is coming up soon and we had to get some things planned.  I also met with the marketing guys and, I am very excited with all that is happening.  It's going to be great!  Now I'm back in Breckenridge.  I flew here the day after Christmas.  We are hoping for some good weather so practice will be easy and fun.   Dew Tour in Mt. Snow, VT is next week!
