first annual jean jam

Somewhere along the way we got the bright idea of skiing in jeans and flannel for our last day of the season... there was little debate about whether or not this was a good idea, but rather, what flannel to wear and how do we better spread the word of this. As it turned out, Steve wore flannel with a pair of carharts (which are jeans I think...they counted in my book), Shadle wore a Canadian tuxedo, Rachael and Sean both sported jeans with flannel and Micah came in regular boarding apparel (which actually looked worse than jeans/flannel) so we made him wear a poncho to compensate for his lack of enthusaim.

For whatever reason, I decided to pull out a wild card. I dug out my charcoal colored wool suit, complete with tacky tie, and suited up...literally. The only thing that remained was some BRIGHT orange boots. The entire ensemble looked absolutely ridiculous. This day was going to kick ass!

after the lifts had closed we found out that the the road was shut down due to an avalanche...so shadle resorted to sour cream to pass the time
