Dan, at the top of the hill, at the start of the run. |
The wind starts out brisk but, as a man of the world, I have no fear. |
Zhac shows up, looking gloriously appropriate for an arctic woodland scene. |
Jason's head is so full of ideas about how to maximize potential fun parameters his head's about to burst. |
Sample population of other people sharing the hill with us. |
Families, friends, all on plastic sleds, cardboard boxes, snowboards, what have you. |
Alexis demonstrates how to turn a tarp into a hasty but effective windbreaker. |
...which isn't as easy as it looks, frequently. |
Everyone gets ready to sled down the hill, or just stare, in everyone's way. |
Holy freakin' crap, it's getting cold, and the wind does nothing to help. |
Dan, for poor behavior, has been wrapped up tightly in the tarp and is to be tossed down the hill. |
The tarp is excellent for sledding, especially large groups of people all at once. |
Jillian starts taking and organizing pictures on her phonecam. |
Jason explains his next brilliant idea to Dan, who is more than willing to parlay in mischief. |
Our group begins to get weary from many treks up the hill... Jason's brother and his girlfriend are in the center of this shot. |
Trust me, Alexis and Jason were doing something completely wacky behind Jillian. You should've been there. |
Zhac, quite full of Dan's needling, lashes out with a demonstration of military force. |
Mussed up but momentarily satisfied, she warms up with some hot cider she brought. |
Jillian, Nick (showed up at the last second), and Alexis, seated at our new tradition, La Casita. |
Jason, Dan, and Zhac, slowly melting and replenishing fluids. |
Me, I had a ball, and I'm ebullient over hanging out with my friends like this. |
In the race to enter Nick's phone number, Jason seems to be struggling with something as Alexis saunters across the finish line. |
