Had some great runs today on a ghost town of a mountain. Finally skied from the Whiteface summit, and tested out a pair of DPS Wailers. Pretty surfy skis for the wet and compacted conditions, but still so much fun. Btw, you gotta check out the Slopes app

Eight ski runs totaling 16 miles and 17,500 feet downhill were completed at Whiteface on December 7, 2022, with a top speed of 30.8 mph, a tallest run of 3,148 feet, and a longest run of 2.8 miles.A person wearing a green helmet and orange jacket is sitting on a ski lift with snowy and foggy weather in the background.Three people are enjoying a snowy day on a ski slope, with one person taking a selfie in the foreground while the others pose in the background near a small building.

Jo is taking a big test this morning to advance her care for patients and be able to do more care on her own without supervision. She’s learned so much from UH Trauma and the last 6 months here in Saranac Lake Emergency that she’s been able to take it way ahead of most PAs. I’m so proud of my bad-ass wife, and hope you’ll join me in wishing her good luck! 📷
