In December of 2023, Long overdue Jake decided it was time to propose to Heidi.

A family Christmas shopping trip quickly turned into ring searching for Jake. With the help of his family Jake found the perfect ring for the perfect girl, without an idea of when and how he would propose.

After some advice from his good friend and business partner Bobby, they had come up with a plan. Jake was to propose on top of a mountain.

Jake had taught Heidi how to ski, and though it started out rough it became a place where they would bond.

Jake told Heidi of a ski trip with them two and that Bobby wanted to come along.

The morning of Heidi was thinking of staying home to get the house ready for Christmas but Jake talked her into still coming. The mornings are early and hectic because Jake does not want to hit traffic on the way up.

They picked up Bob and started their trip to Keystone Mountain.

Once in Keystone, the traditional breakfast shot at Steep Brewery and then off to the mountain. As Jake, Heidi, and Bob start to get ready Heidi says "I forgot my stuff" Jake replies "what do you mean you forgot your stuff, I grabbed your skis and boots". Heidi replies "I forgot my pants and jacket" haha.

Heidi being the sweet supportive girlfriend tells Jake and Bob to go and have fun and she can read and hang out in the truck. Little did she know, Jake and Bob were getting her to the top of that mountain no matter what.

After much debate, not trying to be obvious we agreed to buy gear for her and return it (she just got new gear that year).

On the way up Jake is nervous and Heidi keeps trying to put her helmet on (which she hates how it looks).

Once at the top Jake fakes a binding malfunction and Heidi has no idea. Jake gives the signal to Bob and he pulls out our big nice work camera. Heidi says "that's a nice camera Bob, stop pointing it at me".

Still oblivious to Jake on one knee holding out a ring shaking a lot more than he anticipated. After 1.5 seconds Heidi recognizes what's happening and goes for Jake, saying yes to the only thing he wanted in that moment.
