Snowboarding!

You will never believe these pictures were taken in Southern California! That's right...we picked an AWESOME day to snowboard! We decided to hit Mountain High in Wrightwood since we had free lift tickets, it's close AND requires NO mountain driving. Normally Mountain High is only "so-so" for snowboarding in Southern California...actually, snowboarding is usually only "so-so" anywhere in Southern California...but not this day! It snowed the entire time we were there! I was so excited to see it snow, the trees were covered, and the conditions were great! The only down side was the wind...and although we hung on for dear life on the lift, there was only so much we could take. We got a good 4-5 hours in on the slopes (with no crowds!) before we decided we didn't want to feel like we were going to blow off the lift chairs anymore! Oh...and can I say thank goodness for those warmers you put in your jacket and boots! Without those I would have been an ice cube in no time. Now, I know this is far from the tropical climate we love so much...but we love snowboarding together too...and snowboarding WHEN it is snowing is sooo much fun!

Notice the "basically" white out conditions behind me!

Taking a hot chocolate break! I insisted that we sit outside to drink our hot chocolate in the snow!

I think this was our last run...notice it is snowing harder now!
