Red Mountain Canada – New Years 2009

Red Mountain Canada – New Years 2009

We arrived on day one for a half-day session.  No one there and 20cm of new!  It was colder n isht too. ... Read more

We got to San Jose late in the evening 9/22 and posted up at the Hotel Villa Bonita.  The place is affordable but not super cheap,... Read more
