Not too long ago, the snow started falling in the Sierras. Instagrams and blogs started flaunting the snowy goodness and mountain turns. What was I to do, if not book an early December flight to get in on the fun?
This was a quick trip, but I was able to rally Sara, Paul, and Kevin for a Saturday day trip. Early to rise, early to ski, we were on the road by 5:30 or 6:00 and on the slopes by 9:30. Fresh snow was scarce, but the skies were clear, the air was warm, and Kirkwood's backside runs had just opened for the season. It was a great day of taking down the groomers. Sara was in a particularly charging mood, leaving me gasping to keep up all day long. But, as she put it, "Bnard telemarks, so he goes slower."

A side mission for the trip included getting a cool picture of an "Adeline St" street sign for Evan and Kate, who recently were joined by a little one by the named Adeline - after the street. I got a few decent shots of birds on signs and such before Sara led me to Sweet Adeline, which is a delicious cafe (I highly recommend the cheddar and onion scones). It took many many shots, but I ended up being pretty pleased with the shot below.
