Ice Fishing with the Ficks

We headed up to Deerfield one nice Sunday afternoon in January to meet up with the Fick family for some ice fishing.

Skiing 2012

We made a few trips to Terry Peak in January and early February. It wasn't a good winter for skiing, not much snow and very warm temperatures. I don't know that the temp was ever below zero in Rapid City. Caden did a great job learning how to ski, even went on the chairlift and skied down the big hill on his first trip back this winter.
