New Years in Mammoth

Chris and I went to Mammoth for New Years to see our bestest friends and go skiing - my first attempt ever. We also soaked in the hot tubs, ate blueberry muffins, attempted a trip to the hot springs - lets just call it an offroad adventure, played Spades, and sampled Scott and Kevins year-in-the-making barley wine (yum!).

Skiing, aah, skiing - my new friend... This picture was taken on the lift up to the top of the craziest run ever - Sesame Street - it doesnt get more bunny than this.Kevin, me and Scott all going for a ride- check out my awesome orange goggles!

Here it is - proof that I actually strapped ski's to my feet and slid down the mountain. Chris said I had good form...

Here is Scott and Kev at the top of the mountain. They, along with Chris, went to do some harder runs - maybe you can see me down at Sesame Street... It was perfect weather for skiing - a warm, sunny, windfree day.
Towards the end of our sesh we took the gondola up to McCoy's Station and had a beer - brewed locally - it was quite tasty and pretty funny when the foam started freezing over. Kevin definitely wins for best ski hair ever - with Chris following close behind. Scotts hair was perfect all day, seeing that he snowboards like 4 times a week. Getting down from this part of the mountain was quite an adventure for me - highlighted by falling often, screaming loudly, and laughing hysterically. All in all, it was a great way to spend the new years!
