Closing thoughts on the season:
Flacco's going to get his money, just don't break the team, because without talent in the other 10 on the field, specifically the O-line most importantly, Joe wont be successful.
Lastly, thanks Ray, the Ravens will not be the same without you.
The weekend following the Baltimore All-star's victory was the 3rd annual Ski trip. For the second season we went to West Virginia's Canaan Valley, although only 2 couples participated. Getting there in the winter is interesting, we were ok but our guests came later and ran into some weather. Last year the same thing happened to some folks. I think in the future daytime arrival is critical. Weather from there on was beautiful and made hitting the slopes a pleasure. We snowboared at Timberline Saturday (where we stayed) and then the Canaan Valley ski area on Sunday. I had a new used board to get used to. It did it's job after a few incidents, but all in all it was an upgrade from the tired ex-rental board I had been riding. My brother in-law likes to push the limits so the first day it we did a double black diamond (see picture below). That went ok for me meaning I got down on the board not my face. As the afternoon crowds hit lift lines became nuts. The second day, I followed him off a trail into a few feet of powder on the steepest slope I had been on. Let's just say I'm glad powder is soft. We ran all the trails that place had (with no lift lines) and had another great day on the slopes with no permanent injuries.
