About Me

I live for winter. I have loved snow since I was young, listening to the early morning radio to see if school was canceled and if snowball fights where in my near future. I remember one of my fondest memories as a child was being snowed in at the family cabin in Ruidoso. Instead of going back to school on a Monday we had one more day to sled and be with family. I now live in Colorado where summer is equally inspiring as winter, rivers swell, and the spirit of the moutains is breathtaking. But at the end of the day I still long for snow capped peaks and cold, fresh rocky moutain air. Its a Colorado Rocky Moutain High.
