....for my family as we depart for our first-ever White Christmas in Colorado. It'll be my son's first time to ski, and I cringe at the thought of him breaking a leg right before senior baseball season.

I'm thinking of my poor 'ol 46-year-old bones too; last time I went skiing, I was 1 month pregnant with my 18-year-old. It's been a loooooong time! Lots of things can go wrong between skiing, snowmobiling, ice skating, tubing, and driving in wintry conditions. Then again, lots of things can go right, and I hope they do, in every way possible!

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Have Fun, and i'm sure you'll have a White Christmas.

Ski's are great but Snow Boarding? That will slam you into the hill side if you catch an edge.
Try to fall uphill not downhill??

Infield08 - Prayers for what sounds like a fabulous trip! I love snow, but you won't find me on skis. Give me the snowmobiling or riding in a sleigh - something where I know my feet are staying near the ground!! Or, sitting by a fireplace watching it snow is pretty fantastic too! Y'all be safe and enjoy every minute!

Infield08,

You will have a wonderful time and so will he. You have my pryers for everyone's safety.

Where are you going in CO? On some mountains they have fireworks on Christmas Eve.

It is nice that you are getting this vacation before college. We did that last year and it was terrific.

Have fun and a very Merry Christmas!

Best Wishes for a great trip.
Try SnowShoeing...not quite an adreline rush like boarding or skiing, but a great work out and no risk of a hard fall.
Have safe trip!

Baseball players should not snowboard unless they are very experienced. The incidence of wrist and arm injuries is much higher with snowboarding than skiing. Snowboarders need to learn to fall a certain way. My son surfs which is more like snowboarding from a balance standpoint, but he does not snowboard. He skis.

08 ... Catch some air and show me a copter.
