Merry Christmas

As always there were lots of mountain related literature ... from ALPINIST 0 (completes my set) to this Avalanche Book (great cartoons), to Doug Robinson's ALCHEMY OF ACTION, and on to a subscription to Trail Runner magazine. Santa was great!

It poured during the night, temperatures were just below 50 degrees when we opened presents, but it is dropping quickly, and will soon be in the 20s. Seemed like we dodged this thaw.
