Vail snowmobiling Dec 3rd with the Moose

The Wife getting ready the night before for the first snowmobile ride of the season.

No, believe it or no, she is not on drugs.
She is always like this.

More new snow in Vail. 4 more inches or so. Not enough to get the sleds off the trails/roads but it is a start. One more big storm and we'll be able to ride off trail a bit. Up at the "fox farm" area we saw 4 bull moose. Then about 5 miles further down the road we saw a cow and her calf (although it was a big calf). Each year we see moose around the area in late November and early December. (They don't seem too bothered by us.) Usually by mid-December, the moose will be gone having moved to lower altitude.
