ESH Cast #567: We begin with a collection of balls
After a year as timultuous as this one, what's a better way to end it than with a collection of balls? At least, that's what we've been asking ourselves.
Although this week's episode of the ElectricSistaHood podcast is not a new one, it's filled with stuff that will be new to you. It's one of our "cutting room floor" clip shows in which we present segments from episodes that were previously excised because the show was running a little too long.
See, we're both winners here! Panda and I get a week off, and you get a podcast full of stuff you've never heard before.
Where is this stuff from? Most of it is stuff we cut out in 2015 and 2016, so it's not all that ancient. For instance, there are clips we recorded during the 2015 Game Awards show (that seems so long ago now). We talk about things like the Legend of Zelda, cross-platform game play, Witcher and Destiny.
In addition, there's a segment cut out from this year about a controversial game cruise that was cancelled. We make a lot of allegations about the event, but forgot that we needed to say the word "alleged" about the claims we make. We don't know anything about any crime that may have been perpetrated, so we must admit that our knowlege of the event comes from nothing but reports we've read on the internet. We're sorry for the omission.
But we're not sorry to get an extra week off at the end of the year. We'll be in a better position to be bright and vivacious with our next episode, which we will release Jan. 1.
Until then, please enjoy ESH Cast #567: We begin with a collection of balls.

Q: How to pipe log output inside of container in Kubernetes/OpenShift? I have want to pipe the output of my nodejs file like node example.js|node_modules/bunyan/bin/bunyan for better readability.
How can I specify this in the yaml?
I tried several things like:
      command:
        - node
      args:
        - index.js | node_modules/bunyan/bin/bunyan

or
command:
        - node
      args:
        - index.js
        - node_modules/bunyan/bin/bunyan

or
command:
        - node index.js | node_modules/bunyan/bin/bunyan

but none of it worked.
Is it possible and if yes, whats the correct way to do it?

A: Thanks for your help but I already found a solution that worked for me.
Instead of directly using the command I stored it in a shell script and use it for execution.

A: Try this (provided your container have /bin/sh available)
command: ["/bin/sh"]
args: ["-c", "node example.js|node_modules/bunyan/bin/bunyan"]

The horse sitting to of my list for this year is a filly that made debut in October last year, ran a second time and won towards the end of that month and was then put away.
By the sire FASTNET ROCK, whose progeny invariably start to blossom in their 3-y-o season, I'm expecting her to win races this term and prove she deserves top spot.
CASHLA BAY is the name. She is trained by John Gosden and has an entry in the 1000Gns.
She made her debut on the 14th of October last year and ran home second to EARTHA KITT at Haydock (who had enjoyed the benefit of a previous run at the same track), beaten less than a length, with nearly three lengths back to the third placed horse.
Gosden then ran her two weeks later at Newmarket on the 29th of the month and despite what I'd suggest was a bad draw she landed the odds of 8/11 by an easy length.
She was the first of the high drawn horses home that day, the next three all middle to low and I think that race will prove a pretty decent back end maiden.
The third horse home, ASHWAQ, ran once more and finished second to a Clive Cox debutante, PAVILLION. Hannon then put that one away before sending it to Kempton on the 20th of March where she duly obliged.
Definitely in the right hands and almost certain to improve a heck of a lot being a FASTNET ROCK, she's the first you need in your trackers.

Making a Splash on Campus

By Courtney Rubin
When Louisiana State University surveyed students in 2009 to find out what they most wanted in their new recreation complex, one feature beat out even massage therapy: a lazy river.
But with dozens of schools (including some of its Southeastern Conference rivals) building the water rides, the university had to do one better: When its lazy river is finished in 2016, it will spell out the letters "LSU" in the school's signature Geaux font.
"The students involved in the planning process wanted something cooler than what anyone else had," said Laurie Braden, the school's director of recreation. "University relations said it was O.K. as long as it followed the font appropriately and didn't take it out of scale."
In the university recreation center arms race — with 92 schools reporting over $1.7 billion in capital projects, according to a 2013 study from the Nirsa: Leaders in Collegiate Recreation (formerly known as the National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association) — the latest thing is to turn a piece of campus into something approaching a water theme park.
At Auburn University in Alabama, for example, students can soak in a 45-person paw-print-shaped hot tub or scale a 20-foot wet climbing wall before plunging into the pool. Designs for North Dakota State's facility, on which construction is scheduled to begin next year, include a zip line that students can ride out over the water, a 36-foot-diameter vortex of swirling water and a recessed fireplace on an island in the middle of the pool that students can swim up to. A small "rain garden" is planned to mist lounging students.
Over at Clemson University in South Carolina, there's talk of redeveloping a 38-acre property on Lake Hartwell, across from the current rec center. The project may include "blobs," essentially floating mattresses placed so that students can jump from one to another. "It's like an obstacle course, like 'American Ninja,' " said David Frock, Clemson's director of recreation, referring to the TV show "American Ninja Warrior."
Meanwhile, a company called the Aquatic Development Group, a purveyor of pool climbing walls, has installed a $1 million wave rider at Pensacola Christian College in Fla., and is working with six other schools. So far, AquaClimb has placed 10 climbing walls at colleges, with another 35 in the works.
"Aquatics are a huge growth area," said Jack Patton, who leads the sports-facilities group at RDG Planning and Design, an architecture firm in Des Moines. "A lot of students don't want to swim laps, but a leisure pool is a great equalizer: I can get my toes wet, I can play, I can study or I can go full in."
Per square foot, pools are the most expensive part of a rec center to run, so it makes sense that universities are looking for any way to lure more students to them, said Darren Bevard, a principal at Counsilman-Hunsaker, an aquatics design firm based in St. Louis that has designed the water portion of nearly every big new university project.
The focus on pools for play comes with a shift in university rec centers from just places to sweat to more social spaces, complete with hangout areas. Sun loungers, water slides and projectors for "dive-in" movies at the pool are a part of that.
Ms. Braden, also the president of Nirsa, said today's students are more sophisticated about health and well-being. "They come in and ask, 'Do y'all have Zumba?' but it's not just about exercise anymore," she said. "Students — I don't know if demand is the right word — but certainly they expect that the amenities to help them have a balanced life will be in place." To reflect the change, most collegiate rec facilities have been christened "health and wellness centers" — and students' introduction to them is a social event.
Texas Tech holds a pool party during the first week of school to show off two acres that include a Texas-size lazy river, water slide and terraced wet deck for tanning. (There's Wi-Fi, too.) Amanda Cook, 20, a junior, said the $8.4 million complex, which students pay for with a $10-per-semester recreation fee increase, quickly becomes the place to go.
"As it gets warmer, you start seeing less people in class," she said. "Everyone will say, 'Let's go float the river.' There will be, like, 300 people there, and there won't be any inner tubes or rafts left."
With college costs climbing and outstanding student loan debt at a record $1.2 trillion, schools justify these facilities as important for recruitment and retention. Classrooms can look alike, but pools are a memorable tour stop for prospective students, especially, say, at the University of Missouri, where guides show off the indoor beach club's palm trees, lazy river and waterfall, and coyly announce that the grotto was modeled after the one at the Playboy Mansion, something the firm that designed it, Counsilman-Hunsaker, confirmed. (A 2013 National Bureau of Economic Research study called "College as Country Club" found resort-style amenities have more impact on student enrollment at less-elite schools.)
In some cases, students vote to tax themselves for buildings that won't be finished until long after most have graduated.
Lauren Hayes, the 2008-9 Auburn student government president who campaigned to upgrade the university's recreation facilities, said her platform was an obvious choice, given that the school's "kind of '80s dark basement" was ranked among the worst in the SEC at the time. A week before she left office, 74 percent of students voted to raise their activity fee from $7.50 to $200 to fund the $52.5 million project.
Administrators also like to point to studies conducted at Purdue University and Michigan State, which have shown that students who hit the gym do better academically than those who don't. Floating down a river is not exactly a major calorie burn, but that's not the point.
"When you think about our sedentary lifestyle today, if you can get some kid out on a zip line instead of playing video games and eating pizza, that's a huge win," said David Greusel of Convergence Design, whose projects have included a water slide at the University of Toledo. "It's also the logic of the grocery store: Once you get them in the door, they're going to buy something else. Once you get them in the rec center for the pool, maybe they're going to sign up for a yoga class."
With resort-style facilities, though, comes the fear that an institution of higher learning sounds too much like a four-year vacation. Missouri State University, whose new pool opened in 2012 with a zip line and a lazy river, has tried to prevent that problem by calling the water ride a "current river" or a "bear river" (the school's mascot). Brandon Eckhardt, an assistant director of recreation at the school, said, "We don't like to use the term lazy because we're not lazy in our institution."
Some schools are trying to sidestep the image problem altogether. Arizona State, which frequently shows up on Playboy's annual list of top party schools, had little desire to burnish that reputation when adding a leisure pool to its west campus in 2013. "They went so far as to say they weren't going to have lounge chairs because they didn't want people sunbathing," said James Braam of 360 Architecture, who worked on the project. "They didn't want the lazy river. They wanted a serious pool."

Meet the Prospect: Ohio State LB Darron Lee
As 49ers.com runs down the list of top prospects in the 2016 NFL Draft, we continue our "Meet the Prospect" series with Ohio State linebacker Darron Lee.The Basics
Lee entered Ohio State's starting lineup in 2014 with big shoes to fill. Then a redshirt freshman, the linebacker claimed current Pittsburgh Steelers star Ryan Shazier's role as the anchor of the Buckeyes defense. Lee posted 16 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks that season and earned freshman All-American honors. In 2015, Lee added 11 tackles for loss and 4.5 more sacks. Lee's brief, two-year playing career at Ohio State saw him score three defensive touchdowns.
An impressive showing at the NFL Scouting Combine cemented Lee's place in the first round. The linebacker is viewed by draft experts as one of the best athletes in this year's class, and Lee could be the second linebacker taken behind UCLA's Myles Jack.Measurables
Arm length: 33 1/4 inches
Hand Size: 9 3/4 inchesNFL.com Pro Comparison
Tennessee Titans linebacker Zach Brown.Best College Game
Lee was at his best when the stage was biggest. In the first ever College Football Playoff in 2014, a semifinal game against Alabama, Lee recorded seven tackles, three tackles for loss and two sacks. Lee was named the game's Defensive MVP in Ohio State's upset over the top-ranked Crimson Tide.
NFL Media analyst Daniel Jeremiah raved about Lee's performance when he spoke to 49ers.com at February's combine.
"That game, to me, was the biggest collection of NFL players on one field that I've seen in quite some time," Jeremiah said. "When you have Ohio State, with all of their prospects, and Alabama, with (wide receiver) Amari Cooper, (running back) T.J. Yeldon and their prospects from this year, Lee stood out above everybody else. I think he's gonna be a superstar."Combine Statistics

"Above-average range, speed and athleticism. Unlocks his hips to instantly accelerate and close. Makes himself skinny and shoots through gaps on the line of scrimmage. Needs to do it more consistently, but flashes violence in his hands to punch, lock out and keep himself free from blocks." – CBS Sports' Dane Brugler
"Lee is a true sideline-to-sideline defender who displays a good combination of athleticism, range and versatility. With 27.5 tackles for loss during the past two seasons, Lee has a nose for the ball and shows a knack for making big plays. He is quick to diagnose against the run and has elite speed for the position. With the ability to match up in coverage and play in space, Lee fits today's NFL extremely well." – ESPN's Todd McShayFun Fact
In high school, Lee starred at quarterback and defensive back for New Albany High School in New Albany, Ohio.Must-see Video
Lee ran a faster 40-yard dash than the reigning Super Bowl MVP, Von Miller (4.53 seconds in 2011) at the combine. The NFL put together a simulcam of both players running in Indianapolis.Social Spotlight

Greek fires a tragedy, but not a suprise
by Catherine Boitard
Experts sayd it was a catastrophe waiting to happen
Homes built haphazardly among the pines, no evacuation plan, poorly organised emergency services hit hard by austerity: the deadly wildfires around Athens this week may have shocked Greece but few environment experts are surprised.
At least 79 people perished in the infernos that broke out on Monday evening, and questions are being asked of the government of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras over how it could let the tragedy occur.
For forestry expert Nikos Bokaris, the region of Mati on Greece's Attic coast where one of the blazes began had all the ingredients for a disaster of this scale.
He said the congested nature of buildings set among pine trees, along with poor access to some properties, made a devastating forest fire nearly inevitable.
"The pines were old, very tall and wide, all the necessary fuel for the flames to swell and spread. That creates a huge thermal mass," Bokaris told AFP.
Greece has been experiencing a hot summer, and wind gusts of up to 100 kilometres-per-hour helped the fire swarm through the bone-dry forest at devastating speed.
Tsipras said the weather conditions had worsened the blaze, something which geographer and natural disaster expert Kostis Kalambokidis tentatively agreed with.
"We know full well that climate change is creating more and more extreme weather conditions," he said.
But weather, it bears pointing out, can be forecast.
Huge pines and overgrown gardens helped the fire spread
"We see the same thing in California," said Kalambokidis.
"Even in countries with huge means to fight against fires, the threat posed by creating urban areas in the middle of the forest is enormous."
While experts concede that natural disasters such as fires are exacerbated by climate change, the Greek premier's explanation doesn't deal with one glaring omission:
"Prevention," according to environment researcher Christina Theohari. "We're tired of saying it, of repeating it and seeing nothing change."
She said basic planning such as a well-advertised evacuation plan would have minimised the carnage at Mati.
Several of those who perished were caught in traffic jams as terrified residents and holidaymakers tried to flee the flames.
Fire service funding cut
Other factors played a part: witnesses spoke of out-of-service fire hydrants, overgrown gardens and courtyards as well as untrimmed trees touching rooftops all helped the fire spread.
Bokaris said that austerity measures imposed after the 2010 Greek debt crisis, which nearly toppled the economy, led to the neglect of the country's emergency services.
Some say the authorities left it too late to evacuate
"The fire didn't wait for the crisis to start burning, but certainly a drying up of public service funding didn't help," he said.
Official statistics bear this out: Greece's fire service had an annual budget of 354 million euros ($414 million) last year, compared with 452 million in 2009.
Poor public awareness of the fire risk and a lack of local training likely compounded the damage in Mati—one survivor of the fire said he "never imagined" that the flames could reach the village.
For Kostas Synolaki, a specialist in natural disasters, "the alert (to evacuate) should have been given from the moment the fire started" to allow firefighters to concentrate efforts.
This would have allowed residents to gain safe distance while freeing up the road network for firefighting teams.
Synolaki said technology could help, especially the study of computer models that monitor and predict how fires may spread.
After devastating blazes killed 77 people on the southern island of Evia in 2007, Greece embarked on updating its firefighting response, which was judged to be too reliant on aerial relief to the detriment of ground responders.
"Ultimately, I don't know who did or didn't do what, but judging by the result, it didn't work," said Bokaris.

PHOENIX - Long before the New England Patriots' players had their sights set on perfection, their no-nonsense coach did.
Back when the Patriots were 2-0, Bill Belichick had six plays on tape cued up for a team meeting.
Three were incomplete passes by Tom Brady from that day's practice. The other three were nearly the same poor throws from last season against the Buffalo Bills, who were that week's opponent.
"See if that's going to work this week," Belichick said, criticizing throw after throw.
The Patriots' season-long road to a perfect season has always been grounded by Belichick's reminders about how imperfect they are.
Win all your games in the regular season, and Belichick will find a breakdown in coverage. Set the NFL record for points scored, and he'll cite a dropped pass. And advance to your fourth Super Bowl in seven years, and he'll still greet players with that typical dour expression.
"The point is you have to take the coaching," Brady said. "You will come out of the meeting thinking he's all (ticked) off. But you just have to realize that the expectations are extremely high for him.
"He's the greatest coach of all time, as far as I'm concerned."
Belichick's tough-love philosophy has put New England on the brink of history in the Arizona desert, but his coaching style can be traced back to the banks of the Severn River.
When Belichick's father was a longtime assistant at the Naval Academy, he would let his son sit in on film sessions and watch practice.
This is where Belichick inherited his love for the game and the toughness it takes to win.
"He was a mentor and someone I could talk to for advice that was unconditional," Belichick said. "He wouldn't tell me what I wanted to hear. He would tell me what he thought."
If the Patriots win Sunday, the argument can be made that Belichick is the greatest NFL coach of all time.
A win would be his fourth Super Bowl title, tying Chuck Noll for most in league history. He also would become the first coach to direct a team to a 19-0 season.
Despite their impeccable season, Belichick is not always seen as the perfect coach.
Some question whether his success is attributed to having Brady (Belichick is 100-26 with him and 42-58 without him). Some raise eyebrows over his role in Spygate earlier this season.
And others are still trying to figure out how he has become a "genius" with the Patriots after failing with the Cleveland Browns (1991 to 1995), where he was known to alienate players, ownership and fans with his gruff personality.
Ravens General Manager Ozzie Newsome, who worked with Belichick in Cleveland, said Belichick was beginning to change near the end of his run with the Browns.
Belichick started to delegate responsibility because he began to trust people, and he was communicating better with players.
This translated to the field, where Cleveland went 11-5 after three losing seasons and went to the playoffs in 1994. The next year, the Browns started 4-2.
"Things were in place for us to move forward," Newsome said.
But Owner Art Modell announced the Browns were moving to Baltimore, sending the team in a tailspin. The Browns lost six of their final seven games and finished 5-11.
"I remember being in his office (after the move was announced) and him asking if this has happened before, let's talk to them. And there was nothing," Newsome said. "There was no one that could tell us what they did in this situation and what they learned from it. When your players' focus is not on the field, then you're in trouble."
More than a decade later, Belichick has distanced himself from those days in Cleveland by guiding the Patriots to a 105-39 record, including 14 playoff victories.
He still isn't much of a conversationalist with players, but he doesn't treat them purely as chess pieces anymore.
"Every once in a while, you get his personality coming out," cornerback Asante Samuel said. "When he does, everybody's laughing and smiling because you know he's happy. But you'd better enjoy it, because you don't see that much."
Players rarely see Belichick leave the Patriots facility. He's there at 5:30 a.m. when players arrive, and he'll still be there at 10 p.m. when they go home.
Most players have never seen him sit down in the cafeteria and eat a meal. They usually spot him grabbing some chips before heading to his office.
"What you see isn't too far from what we get," linebacker Mike Vrabel said. "He's not trying to make friends. He's not trying to be somebody's buddy. We have plenty of those. He is trying to be the best coach for his team that he can be."

Aarhus Tourist Information and Tourism
(Aarhus, Denmark)
The second-largest of all Denmark's many cities, after Copenhagen, Aarhus (Arhus) is the true cultural centre of the westerly Jutland peninsula. Aarhus is both a university and coastal city, and is home to one of the most developed entertainment scenes in the whole of Denmark, with plenty to do after hours. Founded in the early 10th century, tourists visiting Aarhus will soon encounter the historic quarter, will is chock-full of museums, churches, medieval buildings and Danish landmarks, while others prefer to head to the coast, where there are a number of sandy beaches and scenic woodland trails.
Often marketed as the 'World's Smallest Big City', central Aarhus is relatively compact and offers a well-developed tourism infrastructure, with the shopping districts around Sondergade and Sankt Clements Torv close by and leading to the Domkirke (cathedral). The tourist information office (Tourist Arhus) is situated within the Radhus (City Hall), on the Radhuspladsen and off the Park Allé.
Aarhus Tourist Information and Tourism: Top Sights
Start your sightseeing of Aarhus with a guided tour of the city, which will always pass the main tourist attractions around the centre, such as the 14th-century Domkirke Cathedral that took around 100 years to complete. Something quite different is the modernist City Hall (Radhus), whose contemporary architecture you either love or hate. For families in Aarhus, the Tivoli Friheden Amusement Park is the place to be and lies on the southerly outskirts of the city centre, offering a range of fast rides and live entertainment. More information about Aarhus Tourist Attractions and Landmarks.
As one of Denmark's most important cities, Aarhus is rightly home to some of the very best museums in the country. Celebrating the Viking past of Denmark, the Vikinge Museet is always a good place to start the day and contains many ancient Viking artefacts found here during excavations just over 50 years ago. Move on then to the ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum and enjoy some serious art works, spread over ten floors, while for something quite different, visit the open-air museum that is the Den Gamle By, home to around 75 buildings transported from all over Denmark. More information about Aarhus Museums and Art Galleries.
With so many quality attractions outside of Aarhus, it makes sense to leave a day of two to properly explore this part of Denmark, especially the popular area known as the Danish Lake District (Sohojlandent) and its Sky Mountain (Himmelbjerget). The city of Randers is also close to Aarhus and contains a notable tropical zoo, while nearby Herning and Mariager are perfect for museum buffs. Mairagers also offers popular rides on a paddle steamer during the summer, along with a number of recreational activities. More information about Aarhus Attractions Nearby.

It goes without saying that I am more than grateful for each and every single one of you amazing clients! Many of you have become friends throughout the years and I cherish each interaction I have with you all. Throughout the years of being an esthetician, following other spa professionals, I'd see them posting on social media about cold and flu season and thought "gosh that takes some gonads to be so forward with people!" But here I am, being the fun police and having to have the serious conversation myself. It goes without saying - I love you "to the moon and back" but not so much that I want your cold, flu, cold sores or other contagious items.
When this is all said and done, I have had to cancel on, say, 2 weeks of clients and missed out on 2 weeks of full-time work - praying nobody was upset and they all reschedule. Many of you know, there are no paid sick days in your own business, and that my schedule is booked up quite a bit so my rescheduled clients may have to either wait 5 more weeks or I need to schedule "makeup time" during a typical night off.
But when we also take the viewpoint away from this being about me, I'd like to point out that I only used the flu as an example. Think of an incubation period when I didn't realize I was getting the flu, the chest cold, or any other number of contagious things. Gang - I could be spreading that stuff like wildfire to people who have much weaker immune systems than you or I, or who care for people with weak immune systems.
This holiday and cold + flu season - let's protect those around us in the community and help decrease the spread of yucky stuff to one another.
I promise you, I will not get upset or have you feeling guilty for canceling.
There is always a wait list as well as a never-ending to-do list to keep the business running strong.
I simply ask for a polite and considerate 24-hour notice when possible.
You may call, text, email, or message me on Facebook.
Not Sure What Counts As A Reason to Cancel?
I've created a handy list on my website that covers all the reasons/illnesses/etc., you may want to cancel - or I may be able to decline your scheduled service.
I encourage all to click the link below to check the list out!
We're all in this together so let's make the wellness community stronger than ever during this cold and flu bug season! Remember that when we are living a grounded life, fueling our body with water and nutrients, moving our body in ways that are good for our health - we prosper. Let's also take this a step outside of ourselves and remember how our health affects those around us.

Planning family mountain vacations is one of the best ways to keep family members connect with each other, especially if they are living separately from each other. Gatherings like these will keep them updated about what's happening in the family like news about weddings, graduations, accomplishments, or new additions to the family. When family members are now living on their own, a family vacation is so much better than just a phone call or seasonal cards which may be their only forms of communication.
When family members live so far apart from each other, they don't usually have the chance to get together except during family vacations once or twice a year. With every one so very busy and the physical distance of the family members, it is crucial to plan a family vacation well in advance. If you are planning on taking a family mountain vacation, there are useful tips that can really make your family vacation a very memorable one.
Consider the location from all angles keeping in mind the safety and comfort of older and younger family members alike. It is important to choose the location that the older ones can appreciate and enjoy as well as for the younger ones to have some fun.
Know what to put in your pack before you set off for your family mountain vacation. You may not want to burn your nose and cheeks while you're on the slopes or just walking around in town so be sure to carry with you a hat. A brimmed hat can effectively deflect the harmful rays of the sun from your face and give you shade from the heat of the summer sun. Bring with you sunscreen protections like heavy-duty sunscreen lotions of at least SPF 25 and eyewear that block the sun's harmful UV rays from penetrating your skin and eyes. Make sure your eyewear has good UVA- and UVB-blocking capability.
Watch what you wear, especially if you are going to be spending most of your mountain vacation out on the slopes or doing something athletic. Invest in a water-wicking base garments that absorb sweat and wick it away from your skin. These polypropylene-based garments make movement easier and more comfortable and they no longer come in store with a high price. A cotton-based garment for this type of outdoor activity is not recommended.
Drink lots of water and be sure to bring with you an extra bottle during your trek to the mountains. Your body needs, though it doesn't always crave, for more liquids especially if you are in high altitude. It is very necessary that you replenish moisture your body loses through sweating. You can also save yourself from experiencing altitude sickness by drinking lots of water.
When planning your family mountain vacation, do not rely solely on weather forecasts. Nothing is as unpredictable as the weather. You do not want a not-so-friendly weather to ruin your family vacation so always pack prepared for varied elements and know the rules of mountain travel.
You can have the best family mountain vacation that your family members will cherish the memory forever. Together with the whole family, pick out the best location, come prepared, and you will soon realize that a family mountain vacation can be a real paradise on earth.
