During the winter break, Mike took Amelia & Raymond to the tubing hill at Bogus Basin Ski Resort. While it was about 37 degrees , the wind was blasting snow in our faces at about 25 miles per hour. We could only handle the biting cold for an hour and a half of our two-hour session on the hill. The kids had a blast anyway, and I'm sure we'll be heading back up there. While we didn't take any pictures, we did want to show our GPS data that indicates tube speeds of up to 25 MPH, coming down the 800-foot long hill.
