Yesterday a few of us took six people (4 Army, 1 Spouse & 1 Marine) from the Yakima Training Center out for a fun day on the snow. In addition to snowmobiling, we fed them lunch around the campfire and bought them dinner at a local restaurant. The weather and views were spectacular. We had a local TV anchor join us and his report is here:

Can't wait to do it again next year!

I expect we'll keep the group more on the small side. Not only does a big group become harder to manage, but the issue becomes enjoyment. I just got back from our 'Winter Rendezvous' where we had rides with more than 40 sleds in attendance. There was more time spent stopped and regrouping then there was riding. Not fun. With smaller groups, we can give each guest more attention. We may look at doing multiple rides in the future though.

And Smiles... I was representing with my USAF T-shirt that day.
