February Antics-Part 2-Skiing at Yosemite!

See, I told you there would be a Part 2. This month, although a short one, has been pretty busy! I am starting to work more and more and am beginning to finally figure it all out. I am happy to be working and am excited about what the future holds with this company. Although, I have a new job and am working, we had a ski weekend planned, so off we went to the cabin. We left on Thursday evening, only to be met by a serious accident on the 5 North in Gorman. The freeway was closed and it was literally a parking lot. Have you ever had to put your car in park and turn it off on the Freeway?? It is a crazy feeling...but an hour and a half later, we were on our way. Then we got to the fog...and slowly made our way to the cabin. We made it and after about 4 hours of sleep we were up and off to hit the slopes!!
We headed to Badger Pass in Yosemite. This is the 3rd year we've gone and are excited that it is becoming a tradition. Friday we skied and skied! Leah was in ski school and very excited about learning to become a skier. Of course, she had her sights set on the biggest hill there! The benefit of ski school is that it allows Michael and me to get some of our own skiing in. Friday started out sunny and by the end of the day is was pretty cloudy and starting to rain at our cabin about 40 miles away. You know what rain equals!!! SNOW!!! On Saturday morning, we met the mountain with a few inches of fresh powder and snow in the trees! The weather stayed cloudy and eventually it began to snow on the mountain. We left a bit early, because of white-out conditions!! It was such a good time for us to get 2 days of skiing in, and we look forward to continuing the tradition next year. Here are some pictures to enjoy!!
