We Bought a Ski Mountain

Did you say 70 North for two tacos? We could just cut it out or we could talk about it. Let's do that. Why are you filming while we're talking about this? Because that's what's important. We should have the discussion. Hey! I'm vlogging here! Hey guys, what's up? It's Shae and Colette. We are here and we're married and we love you guys. Touch my hand. Thank you. Put her there, partner. We are up at the ski mountain. This is our 10th year running this thing and it has been hard to get it open this year because the winter has not wintered. It has been warm and rainy and that's been the case across the Pacific Northwest. The west most ski areas have had a late than normal start because the snow has not cooperated but here it is January 9th. It's finally cold enough. We have 20 degree temps and just enough snow to open the Aspen or the beginner run and get her started for the year. And it feels so good. Can we tell them how I'm emotional? Colette's cried a couple times. I'm over here like I'm tired and I'm emotional and we opened the hill and look at the snow and the sunshine and oh my goodness it's so pretty. It is pretty. Let me flip you. Flip you. Check it. It's pretty. And the smell. Take a deep breath would ya? No you know that arctic air when you take a deep winter breath and it's like kind of pine. Yes. Oh and you can smell like the crystals in the air. Fresh. There's no smog. Picture it. Use your senses. Use your imaginary smell senses. You know what I'm talking about. Okay we're going to do um are we going in to get a burger now? We did two runs. We're hungry. This is the first day. We're getting our legs warmed up. I got a little leg burn on that one. It felt good. Oh I'm so excited. I'm going to get in really good shape this winter because I'm going to ski a lot. Okay bye. I got to go. That's so cool look at that. That is the red carpet darling. That is the red carpet for you. What? Just put on point five and follow me. Alright. So I can follow you? Let's go. That's all we get until they open the other lift. Yeah. I love it. She comes in first in Chamonix Fries. Yeah. Perfect. Golden. Crispy. Oh. Delicious. You know the secret? Idaho famous potatoes. Golden crispy french fries. With Howard. Cheeseburgers. We're waiting for our cheeseburgers. Snowy out there. Oh Tom you're the best. There you go sir. Thank you sir. Oh. You guys like onions? I got onions, pickles, tomatoes. Brought the sauces. You know as you get older, you like things that you didn't like as a kid. I never liked onions ever. Or pickles. I didn't mind pickles. Onions was a definite no. Now. That's a bite. Oh stop. Don't smile. You're tired. you're in a food coma we did it delicious yeah okay let's go throw this way we're free I don't know what happened but it's winter I think maybe that's it that's the reason we're gonna do one more run and then we're gonna go home and sit in front of the fire and watch the chick flick yes I need a chick flick how long have I been skiing babe seven years well 10 no I mean yeah like 12 maybe but I didn't ski when I was a kid and I didn't ski when I like I snowboarded a little bit in high school but what I'm getting at is it's never too late to start you guys start doing something that challenges you it gets your body moving and makes you feel young even if you're in your 40s we were just talking about this at lunch hold on I got to put the camera on my face grab look my hands frozen this way I was just holding the camera don't be like oh I'm just getting so old now like I'm 45 years old I'm getting close to 50 I don't want to be like oh I'm just old now I can't do that even though I am feeling it my my bones and joints and stuff are feeling a little more stiff and sore yeah that's son don't give up yeah dead yet let's go keep moving or what'd you think I said I said I want to see your best form what did you think I said what rhymes with form let's see not get dang I get your number that was really good okay babe it's 140 never told them that I don't think we ever

this year let us know if you did so good it's awesome hello okay driving home we're gonna stop at the gas station and get bubblegum I love bubblegum new gas to drive unless you have a battery powered car this particular model is not this is a unleaded but guess what the gas price is today let's look 289 you need low prices in gas and you need vitamin D so soak it in take your glasses off and look directly into the Sun I want to see something I don't think I'm gonna do that do not follow the advice let's go get some bubblegum oh there's my bubblegum princess thank you these guys are seeming granite together this is what I used to do for a living this is so wow this is weird seeing this this is the hardener these are seamers they're being pneumatically sucking to the granite pulling this seam together so this is how you put two pieces of granite together this is epoxy see it's coming out of the joint and then you have to fill to see if it's level dude I spent a lot of time working with these tools right here these shims oh my gosh shims and razor blades Wow this is my old life right here use these razor blades to scrape the glue off crazy I couldn't think of the right word what that was to walk in and see that because we're vlogging today which is I guess is like our career that's what we did for a living what we do can you call vlogging a career yes you can we did we made quite a good but just walking in there I've gone to this gas station my entire life and seeing them do granite countertops is my old career that's my old life man I miss it I do I don't miss breathing in silica dust and carrying 500 pound islands into kitchens and having silicone all over my fingers you were definitely breathing in a lot of stuff you probably didn't need to be oh yeah for sure that's why I like the smell of glue look I found my keys let's go okay what's the word you walk in you see an old career nostalgia yeah I feel like there should be serendipitous what's it there's just some word I want to let me know in the comments what do you think that word is it's like an old world in a new world colliding coming together it's like a reminding you of a time time past okay we got to go cut we got gas for under three bugs she said you know for two tacos I tipped to that was nice of you inflation inflation it's a big problem today tariffs bringing all this chicken in from who knows where this guy is bringing something because look how chubby he is as he came down the stairs you could see his infected with what your dog is fat okay bye I love you and he's going to Sun Valley with her boyfriend for the weekend have fun be careful Daxton's home yeah literally walks in yes okay no you can't that's racist why is it racist it's like the Hawaiian chant well why is it you're not saying anything bad about them is it appropriating their culture is that what you're worried about yeah I'm scared we could just cut it out or we could talk about it let's do that because that's what's important we should have the discussion because we're so terrified of looking racist internet or being canceled even a 12 year old is conscious of like oh no if people see that then they're gonna think that I hate somebody do you hate Hawaiian people of course not of course you don't we love Hawaii you've been begging us to go back for months that's interesting though that you have the awareness to be like oh I don't want that to offend anybody yeah yeah hey come here I love you nobody's offended you're just a fun-loving 12 year old boy who just got home from school and is
