for the last 3 years i've been able to tightly hold on to that +1 slot for kp's annual work trip to northstar. each year is different and unique in it's own little way {last trips seen here and here}, and this year was nothing short of awesome. we had fresh snow, crazy digs, and 2 long fall-free days of skiing {ok i fell once}. 
 

our nights were mostly spent enjoying the multiple fireplaces in our house, the delivery pizza trucks, and the company of new friends. there was also a house party that strongly resembled scenes from can't hardly wait ... things got a little out of hand.
