We’re headed up to Bellingham, Washington with our son Louie for his college move. I was helping the guy install new fender flares on his XJ, and thinking that’s my kind of college prep.
We’re bringing our skis to try for some of that legendary Northwest “turns all year” stuff we hear so much about. We’ll see how wet and scrappy that plan is (grin). Will also stop by the Ski Journal offices in Bellingham and report from there, as well as check out the general ambiance of what’s said to be the best town on the planet. More later, gotta get out the door! |
Another view of the XJ, the kid really has set it up nicely. Proud dad. |
(Off topic, but check out the size adjustable ski boot!)
