Ski trip to Alpe d'Huez


Our ski trip to Alpe d'Huez which is also one of the more difficult climbs for the riders of the Tour de France. Can't even imagine trying to get up this road on a bicycle. We skied, did a very long snowshoe walk, and rode the sled dogs.

Ski trip to French Alps


  Just got back from our Florida vacation and we had our annual ski trip for Loyens & Loeff to La Plagne in the French Alps. Was a gorgeous weekend, the weather was nice and lots of things to do besides ski.....although riding the luge was not for me.

Ski Trip to Chamonix, and a Goodbye to Kevin

We had a work/ski trip to Chamonix in the Alps this weekend but Randy called me Saturday morning that his cousin Kevin had lost his battle with cancer. It really deflated me after reading all of Kim's updates on the caringbridge site and hoping along with her and everyone else that he would find a way to beat this. So young and such a giant of a man that it just does not seem possible that he could be beaten down by this. My prayers go out to Kim and the children.



It's not much, but the girls and I hiked to the top of Mont Blanc and left Kevin a little message.
