Setting sun

Reba as we headed for home

The top!

Nearly there

The weather was perfect, but 3 hours in the hot sun was tough going. When we got down, little did we realize that practically all the staff in the resort where watching our speedy descent from the terrace of the bar - fame at last. We were welcomed home as heroes!

Cornice came too

Me, Jay and Cornice the dog at the end of the first drop into Horse Canyon, Cornice ran the equivalent of at least twice up Reba!

The Day we climbed Reba

A rare day off and we planned to climb the mountain next to Bear Valley

And I got down without falling

Torchlit Parade

My first descent!

The nerve centre of Ski School

We used old uniforms so it didn't matter if they got burned! Mine was smelly so covered it in DKNY!

At the top!

Enjoying the view

Grizzly Bowl

After a few wines, it was back out skiing - no I wasn't working today!

Cold

It was sunny but cold

Upstairs in the engine room

Then we had to climb a scary ladder to get to the workings of the lift. Charles, I got some get video footage!

Clutched versus Unclutched - Discuss

This is me operating the Polar Express lift at Bear Valley - well not ACTUALLY operating it as they wouldn't let me touch any of the buttons, not even the big red one!

More Snow

And the sun came out, it was going to a great day on the hill

Famous 4

After dinner a quick walk home in the snow

The Lube Room

But it was all made better by a quick stop at the Lube room to watch the Superbowl - apparently it's a big deal over here!

But then we had to shovel the car

Bummer!

Celebrating a day in the powder

Ash, Josh , Leandro, me and Claire enjoying a few sherberts after a hard day in the office

Waiting for the bus

Well actually trying to hitch, we decided to go to the mountain to take advantage of the fresh snow

Our Swimming Pool

Then it started to snow again - don't think we'll be having a pool party for a while!
