For some reason, the videos from our magical weekend never got posted. Either the site crashed or I goofed. In any case, here they are.

I Should Have Had a Go Pro
If there was ever a reason to own a Go Pro, one of those cameras that attach to your helmet, riding a snow mobile is one. Many people who ride bicycles, scooters, and motorcycles own a Go Pro because it records your trails.
Today, riding a snow mobile through Yellowstone Park, I really wished I had popped for the $300+ equipment so that I could show you thrill of the ride. We covered 100 miles of fields of untouched white snow on mountains, trees, lakes, and valleys. Geysers, mud pots, and hot springs. We hiked through the snow to see Old Faithful. It was magnificent.
At 50 miles an hour, you had to hold on tight otherwise off you go. The twists and turns were a little unnerving. I shared a snow mobile with Eliot and had to tap him a few times to slow down.
If I had had a Go Pro, we all could have experienced this together. Next time.
Blogging from 9,000 Feet
We are at the top of a lift on the slopes in Jackson Hole watching everyone take off on their ski runs. Thanks to YouTube, I am able to stack these videos for all of you to see of what I, as a non-skier, am getting to watch for the first time in my life in person. Make sure you watch the hang glider who fails on take-off. Also catch the two- and four-year-olds learning their way around the slopes.
