Inbetween storms, this weekend is about UCAC, Squaw, and lots fresh powder.
Aided by late GPS technology, Gilead and Lori and I head for the mountains.
Blue skies. Looks great. Is that a rainbow?
Yeah, we caught up with the weather...and the 330km trip took 10 hours.
I could just as well have taken my bicycle.
In any event, we head for a crammed packed Squaw Valley the next morning, in search of that perfect powder.
Mission accomplished - and there's tons of it!
fun, fun
Lis finds lunch quite fun too, it appears
Lis, Rose, Freddy, Dennis, Becky, me - ready to go again!
Dude Freddy, Dude Dennis
powder
a moment in time
Rose, Freddy
yours truly
and again...
A great day under a blue sky
...but we weren't quite the only ones there.
Saturday night - the feast is served!

A bunch of us move right onto Cranium.
See this?
Pictionary. Looks like Holly's team just failed her..?
Sunday eventually dawns and we head back down early to beat the next storm.
