Sat next to Woolly - the mountain mascot on the lift up one run. Wooly doesn't talk but his chaperon remembered Tom from years ago and started telling me about him crashing down the mountain woolys head rolling off down the mountain without him. I found in hysterical hearing about it ;)

I didn't have to stay on the couch very long as I ended up house sitting for one of Bonnies friends. The two cats were cute but didn't seem to like sleeping at night much and enjoyed pouncing and tormenting me into the early hours of the morning. But it was nice to have a bed and place to my own for a few days.

All my gear turned out to be really good, well I was pleased at least. And hitting the powder in decent gear was great. The ipod was blaring and I was nice a toasty all day. A couple of stats on mammoth: the ski area is 3,500 acres, top elevation of 11,053 feet with a vertical drop of 3,100 feet. 150 named trails, 3 gondolas and i am guessing about 30 lifts.

I was very slack over the whole holiday taking photos which as you always do - you regret instantly afterwards. But as long as I had a good time and the few I did take will remind me :)
