SNOW!!

Well, on Friday, we drove south to Mammoth (and back) in the snow. Well, California had snow.... actually, the snow was mostly around Mammoth, which made them very happy indeed! The snow was thick and fluffy, and there was even chain controls to enter the town of Mammoth Lakes! Luckily, Champagne Charlie has all-wheel-drive and good tires! We had no problems getting there... aside from the lack of views going through California right at some of its most scenic places! The way home was a bit easier, as the snow had lightened up considerably!

The nicest part was coming back over Daggett Pass, which is also known as Kingsbury Grade, and there was snow falling up at Heavenly! (not much, but it was snow!)

However.... that night.......... we woke up to 2 inches of snow outside the house, which was about a foot up on the mountain! We skied fresh tracks in the powder (sierra cement, rather) although suffered from iced up goggles! Someone needs to invent a goggle with a defrost on it... not just a venting fan, as the ice was on the OUTSIDE from the fog and snow. But maybe in another lifetime! Teaching students in the snow is fun. The snow keeps them slower and more in control. And if they fall, its soft and fluffy! I had three MBA students from Stamford in my class, and they certainly had a fantastic time! As did I.
