Sun and Snow Sabbatical: Another Perfect Day

HTML clipboardAnother perfect day today under sunny skies. Cool temps kept the snow from last week soft on all the north facing slopes. We were even kicking down sluffs in a few places. Jared and Meghan are up so we found them and toured the mountain.

Meghan and Mina are both really easy to ski/ride with as they'll go pretty much anywhere everyone else wants to go. Park, sure. Steeps, why not.

Lisa, Cara and Jared were in the park and they met us for some of Tito's chili fries and pasta salad before we all hopped the gondola.

Mina said she wanted to do Cornice Bowl to turn her 'lunch legs into ski legs', so Meg and I followed her down. We cruised over to chair 23 and debated what to do. Mina had her heart set on Drop Out Chutes but the tired adults convinced her to try Scotty's instead, which she loved.

We missed the last chair on 23, so the three of us cruised back to chair 1 to do Gravy Chute again. The snow was nice and Mina had a ball on it the first time and wanted to do it again.

We finished up with a luge run through the trees and hopped a bus back to our car at Canyon Lodge. It was really nice having Meg along again; I know the girls really like having her along.

After beating ourselves up following the kids around we again needed some refreshment of the Mammoth Brewing Co. variety, followed by Mexican Food at Gomez's and finished with some 30 Rock.
