Winter is Back

...And I'm ready to use it to my full capabilities this season!  We took advantage of the pre-season conditions this past Saturday to hike up Mt. Baldy.  Despite 10 degree starting weather our day was an easy skin to the top.  Thanks to Zach I had new skis, bindings, and skins to test out.  Thanks to Papa Nick and Grandmother Jean, Dax had somewhere to occupy his time while mom & dad earned some turns.

I remember this.

Looking up College run to the top.  About 3/4 of the way there.

Looking back at the 3400 ft. that we climbed.

Time to ski.
