Here, I'm snowboarding for the first time. It was a very fun experience. Big Mountain Ski Resort, Whitefish, MT. 

Me enjoying my first time ever snowboarding at Big Mountain Ski Resort. Here I'm about to go down while attempting to turn. Snowboarding is very hard, especially for someone who is out of shape as I am. In the background, one can see the cloud inversion over Whitefish, MT. 

My friend and co-worker Eric Pedro, enjoying the warm mountain air on his back at Big Mountain Ski Resort just a few minutes outside Whitefish, MT. 

My first taste of a real Montana winter includes long ice cycles hanging everywhere. The ones in this photo are as long as three feet. They are a beautiful site to see, and of course, no photo does these site any justice. Whitefish, MT. 

SNOW COMES TO WHITEFISH MONTANA!!! 

The puppies explore the white substance that has suddenly consumed all of northwestern Montana. Whitefish, MT. 

Before the town of Whitefish got blanketed with snow, the higher elevated ski runs on Big Mountain have accumulated a few inches of the white powder. 

On the way to Missoula, MT to see the musical group Bright Eyes at the University of Montana, we stop off at a winery for some wine tasting. Unfortunately, it was close for the winter. 

To make extra cash, I took up the job as the Whitefish Pilot cartoonist. These are just a few I've done so far. 

Snapper explores and plays in the snow. The snow here in Whitefish is very dry and like powder.  

Lot's of snow coming down at the house. Man, I have to get myself a snowboard and a snow shovel. Whitefish, MT.
