Skiing with Stevie February 2013

The second day was windy--45 mph--and snowy!!

Stevie at the beginning of the day. His scarf later was totally iced.

We were lucky sometimes to see 30 feet ahead of ourselves.

I weighed in at 235 and Stevie at 160 fully equipped. And he wondered why  I was going faster!! Something about  mass times velocity.

Me with a face mask the second day. 

Stevie and I the second day. See all of the ice on Stevie's scarf.

Uncovered for a few seconds to smile for the pretty attendant.

Going home and the mountains were covered with snow while sitting in the desert.

More snow in the desert.

Yes an airport nearby for the wealthy to fly into Mammouth.

 Really a beautiful sight to see.

 Come on Stevie---quit fixing your hair!!!

 Stevie took this black diamond. It is a lot steeper than it looks!!

  A very large mountain that took a lot of time coming down.

 There were times we could not even see this far. Skied several times on luck---er Skill!!!

 Absolutely gorgeous the first day!!

Beautiful vistas across the valley.

Ok who is ready to go and who is dilly dallying!!??

Second day and the wind was howling!!!
