@Bill - "The thrusters seemed to go easy." Isn't it funny when the harder exercise seems easier?

@Cliff - Nice work!

Yes, the chair was "rocking and rolling" on that ride. Today, we had a big gust at Breckenridge and the auto system kicked in, stopping the lift until the wind backed off. Perhaps I should check the forecast for wind before getting on ski lifts. :rofl:

Was going to do more of these but my 70+ lb husky decided that since I was on the floor, it must be playtime. I spent the next 15 minutes playing tug of war with him. :)
