June Mountian

Skiing June Mountain today.

Hanging with the queen of selfies today so you’ll have to get used to seeing photos of me.

After ski beers!

Fashion Police said “no”, but I don’t care, it’s cold out!

Yep, making progress on that puzzle! Today I learned you don’t say “puzzle a puzzle”, the proper english is “to lay a puzzle”. Well, at least everyone else had something to laugh about for the rest of the evening.

The very awesome Mr and Mrs Nelson!

New snow

Got a bunch of fresh snow over the night so we’re pretty excited to get up today.

Waiting by Chair 23 on ski patrol to do their job so they can open the mountain.

Partying it up in the house at night!

On the road to Mammoth

Woke up before the sun today to drive up to Mammoth. It was one of those windy days so we saw another truck that had blown over. As we got closer we saw it was a Tecate truck, we considered stopping to pick up a case of beer.

Had breakfast at Carls Jr.

Possibly the grosses chicken sandwich I’ve had. I had to remove the chicken after one bite cause it was disgusting. Still couldn’t finish it.

Made it to the mountain, this was our office for the day!

Got back to the house and had a bunch of stuff to take care of.

Big Bear

Since it’s been raining a bunch in LA, it’s been snowing a bunch in the mountains.
Turned out everyone thought it was a good day for skiing.

Mammoth Mountain

I have to admit I took it a little mellow today after the tree hit yesterday and stayed within the boundaries.

June Mountain

We headed over to June Mountain today, it’s about 20 minutes away but still on the same lift ticket. I’ve never skied there before so I was excited. The weather wasn’t really co operating so I thought it would be a short day.

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.

Epic day!

Started the day off like all days are being started off in Mammoth, coffee and burrito.

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.

Mammoth Bound

I was a little tired waking up at 4:30 am to drive up to Mammoth after the whiskey tasting last night, but it’s well worth it.

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!

Ski Big Bear

I worked from the ski lift today.

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.
