*I hope people use their own wise judgement when hiking always plan ahead and be prepared. One should never go beyond their abilities.*

Over the years I've had a few goals my first was to Summit all the Peaks of Waterton. Here is My Waterton Summit List I completed that goal on September 26, 2016.

My next goal I'm still working on and that is to summit the 6 10,000 foot Summmits of Glacier National Park. I have one left Kintla.

My 2018 Goal that I accomplished was to summit 40 peaks in my 40th year and that I finished on September 26, 2018.

Not sure what will be my next goal, once Glacier's Summits are done?

I commonly use 3 Hashtags on my social media. The first one is #itookthepathlesstraveledby which is to reference this blog. The next two relate to my father and grandfather who were also hikers. #milesformarkellingson is to remember my
Dad, Mark Ellingson and #dustfromthetrailandhowitsettledonme is to remember my Grandfather Earl Ellingson

Grad 6 Ski Trip with my Daughter February 9, 2016

I'm not much of a skier.  But this was my 4th time skiing.  Our Elementary School has had a tradition of taking the Grad 6's on a ski trip for years.  When I was in Grad 6 that was my first time skiing.  I have since accompanied my two oldest kids skiing on this trip so this was my third Grad 6 ski trip.  The other time I went down hill skiing was in Grade 7.  So I'm not the most experienced skier.  Anyways this was a beautiful day the weather was in the positive temperatures and there was only a little wind.  I had a blast with my daughter and we had a good day together, even though at the end she tried a few more difficult runs and wiped out a few times. She said she was never going skiing again!  We'll see!
