Bucky here!

Spring is in the air! Flowers are blooming on this beautiful, rainy, spring day! Sorry I haven't been posting much. I was only able to ski several more times this season due to the conditions. Bucky likes the powder to at least be knee deep. If you guys didn't hear, Steamboat Springs got 5 feet of snow one day a while back this season. I missed it but I heard you needed a snorkel to get down the mountain. Now that's buck! My last ski trip was to Purgatory at Durango Mountain Resort; unfortunately, on my second run I got kicked off the mountain for coming out of the Ambassador's Glade  and jumping the high wall onto the Demon trail. To my dismay I jumped over a ski patrolman. The bastard chased me down with a whistle. I couldn't help myself from thinking I was being chased by Inspector Jacques Clouseau from Pink Panther, which was quite comical to me. It was quite unlucky. I could of just gotten a warning but I felt disrespected by the patrolman when he told me I was skiing "out of control" and Bucky got a little too buck!  How's that for your last day on skis for the season.
      That was my first time visiting Purgatory and possibly the last. Next season I'll be stationed in Gunnison, CO instead of Fort Collins, CO, so I'll have the choice of Crested Butte or Monarch resort. I find that exciting. I know Crested Butte is beautiful western resort with steep terrain that Bucky will love. I don't know much about Monarch Mountain. I've heard it gets a lot  snow and I've heard it blows. I'm excited to find out.
