Underhill Update Blog

Well, here we are in December already only 3 weeks away from Christmas.  We went into Missoula on Saturday to drop of the McPhee’s who had bought a new car and it was crazy how busy things were.  I am very glad that we have all our Christmas shopping done.  We went out on Saturday afternoon and cut down a Christmas tree.  We are going to be up in Edmonton for Christmas but decided we still would like to decorate our apartment for the time we are here this month.  We have to find a tree that isn’t all that big due to the small nature of our apartment.  We ended up staying up late cleaning and rearranging trying to get everything to fit right.  The only problem is now that our tree is up all the snow is gone as we are in the midst of a pretty strong winter storm that is bringing rain instead of snow.  This is dissappointing, but we are hopeful for more snow soon so we can get out and use our skis.  I worked as an EMT on a fire at the end of the summer and we used the money to buy some new telemark skis from Black Diamond this year.  We got them mounted last week and are excited to try them out here soon!  For those that care (Black Diamond Havoc 175cm, O1 Mid-Stiff Binding for me and Black Diamond Velvet 165cm, 01 Mid-Stiff Binding for Andrea).  Should be a good setup.
