Summit Mountain

Ben, Erik & I headed out at some unholy hour of the morning last Thursday for Big Bear Lake, and picked up Ben's friend Rachel along the way. Ben and some of his friends had gone up the Sunday before and it was so cold and windy that they came back after one run (you know it was bad when they turned around after a 2.5 hour drive!!) So we came prepared. . . and quickly dropped layer after layer. It was a simply GORGEOUS day. So nice that we sat on a deck without any jackets for lunch!



Erik has only been on skis once before, back in army days when he was living overseas. After 20-some years, he's decided lessons might be in order next time. :-)

Yes, that's me... Ben and I took turns getting a few action shots. ;-D
That tiny dot coming down to my spot on the hill is Ben... note the big grin on his face in the second picture. :-D

Sunset on the way home.
