Thanks surfer, it's a load of fun. The kids are finally old enough to be able to put their own gear on so we go turn it on whenever they want to ski or sled. It's pretty normal to have 3-4 families here on the nice weekends, and once the kids are off to school I sneak 10-20 runs in by myself on the good snow days, really peaceful and good exercise.
It was a really good excuse to get a cat too!
