Personal Finance Week in Review for December 8 – Snow Finally Arrives

by Sean Bryant on December 9, 2012

In my round-up last week I mentioned that I was finally going to make it up and go snowboarding.  Well there was still a lack of snow so I decided to wait.  The resorts in Summit County got up to 11 inches of snow in the last 24 hours so I am definitely heading up either tomorrow or Tuesday.  Last year I had 25 days on the mountain so I have a little bit of catching up to do if I want to reach that number again this year.

As for the baby, Colette is doing awesome.  At only 5 weeks we can tell that she is going to be quite the dancer.  When the music is on, her legs really start moving.  We got her social security card yesterday so now all we need to do is get her passport before it’s time to start planning her first vacation.

Now on to some of my favorite personal finance articles of the week.

    We have no snow in Ontario yet however it’s raining and shooting ice pellets .. nice! I’d rather have snow. I’ve never went skiing or snowboarding before but it sounds like fun.. well the snowboarding does. Cheers and thanks for sharing mate! Mr.CBB

    Very cool on the snow! I hope you have an awesome day up in the mountains.

  • Jason @ WorkSaveLive

    I’m really jealous about how much you get to snowboard (or enjoy the mountains in general). I couldn’t imagine skiing 5 times let alone 25!

      It is one of the perks to working at home. My season Pass is good at 8 ski resorts and 5 of them are within 1.5 hours of our house. If we get a good snow I just hop in the car and go up for a few hours.

    We need snow, send some this way. Thanks for the mention!
