popnea I was invited to a X-mas party at the Winn and since I’m several beers behind in my beer calendar I brought them all to the party.
Started off with the Speakeasy Scarlett Red Rye Ale. I am a big fan of the Speakeasy brewery.
Second beer was the Guinness Nitro IPA. Interesting but I’ve had better IPA’s in my life.
Leinenkugels Sunset Wheat, didn’t finish. I gave it away after a sip.
Magic Hat Vinyl Amber Lager, it was ok.
Had the last beer on the rooftop, watching the sunset.
Turned out I was still in better shape than my co-driver, we headed over to Ikea after and he conveniently tried out most of their beds.
These lightbulbs are really cool! I’ve got to find a place where I can put them.
I fell in love with this mountain as soon as we pulled up, I love these little club filed type of mountains, reminds me of Sweden.
We did a few runs, it was super nice but extremely cold so we headed to the lodge to warm up a bit and when we got back out it was blue skies!
Mt Wood, we should hike up and ski this one day!
Empty mountain, blue skies, perfectly groomed slopes and lots of fresh snow in the trees, a perfect day!
A tree stood in my way so we took it easy in the groomed the last few runs.
The truck is being a bad ass.
The drive home was beautiful.
I was disappointed in today’s beer, I really thought I was gonna get a good one today. Tap Room Copper Lager with added honey. What’s up with all these added sweetnesses it’s gross! Let the beer be beer. Asher suggested I’d have a Bud Light instead.
We got a lot of new snow so we skied fresh tracks all day.
I have Asher as “My Driver” in my phonebook. He almost got fired today though when he didn’t clean the window and drove just using one hand while speaking on the phone.
Today’s beer. Beer number 14. Magic Hat Winter Mingle. Stout with vanilla. They could’ve left the vanilla out.
I’m so used to driving up to Mammoth at night so I forget how beautiful it is.
We got there and it was a little cold and overcast.
Still happy to be skiing though.
We skied for a couple of hours before it started hailing on us and it felt like needles were hitting our face so we gave up.
Headed down to the supermarket to stock up on beers and ice cream when the whole town got shut out of power. No power inside but lots of powder outside.
Had beer number 12 in the beer calendar, Ballast Point Wheat beer. I didn’t like it, didn’t finish it.
Since I was one day behind, I had beer number 13 as well. Another Ballast Point, Pale Ale this time and much better!
Cooled down our beers outside today!
Got all dressed up and headed for whiskey tasting instead.
I didn’t know exactly what I was up for, but it turned out the event was really fun. Celebrating Frank Sinatra’s 100th birthday with Jack Daniel’s, his favorite drink.
I got a bear hug!
We decided to ski Snow Summit after lunch.
Got home and had beer number 9 and watched the Swedish Advent Calendar on TV.
