1-18 - I led an EBC hike from Teason's Woods FP. In spite of threatening weather 12 people showed up and we had a nice hike. The trails had some slick spots with light snow over ice. I chose not to come down the stairs at the the old palos slide as I thought they would be too slippery - however when we hiked past them headed west on the low trail there were several cars in the parking lot and people were using the stairs - they were very useable. Oh well. Not a very cherry day - no sunshine. We had a nice long visit with Brian in Denver - all is well there. He has applied for a new position with Vail which would be a promotion. He thought he would hear about it in about a week. It would be doing much as he he is doing now. Title - Procuremant Specialist. We wished him well.
