Oh nice!! That's awesome, Bekah. What is the "YT" though? All I can think of is YouTube, but I'm pretty sure that's not it. 😀

This past week, I went skiing in Telluride, Colorado! ⛷

Here's a pic of me and my wife on a path that kinda wraps around the town.

My wife, Katelyn, and I are standing in an open are with snow covering the ground and snow-covered mountains surrounding us — with glimpses of the orange rock beneath it. It's a beautiful day with blue skies.

And another one of us going up the gondola!

A close-up pic of Katelyn and I as we're sitting in the gondola heading up the mountain. We're wearing our ski gear and helmets. In the window behind us, you can see the mountains and town of Telluride.
