Another ski trip? Oh yes!

This time, it was Squaw Valley.  This place is amazing and I really like it here.  We should come here all the time!  We stayed at the Squaw Valley Lodge and it was pretty much ski-in-ski-out...which is awesome.  Love that.  We're super close to the village, but not near all the noise of the village.

The new funicular.

We've gotten bigger since last time we were here, but this chair is still super big.

Yes.  I want a jar of Nutella that big at home.  Tastes so good!

GoPro.  Yes, please.

Up on the slopes and ready to ski.

Lunch time.

Another round of skiing after lunch...and then another round...

Ready for night skiing.  This was round 3 for the day. 830 in the morning...til 8 at night.
That's how we do it.

Up at High Camp, trying some tricks.

Rest time.  Taking Mountain Run from top top top to the bottom.  It's long.

Another great day, but this time, tubing.

The raceway up there.  Awesome.

Happy 70th Gung Gung!!!

Gung Gung turned 70....and he wanted a ski trip with the grandkids for his birthday.  Of course, we wanted one too.  We went back to the same house we stayed in last March.  It's a pretty big house, so we were nice and comfortable.  We brought our tent, but only Jenna and I slept in the tent.  Brendan said it was too chaotic for him to get good sleep.  So he slept in Mom's room.  We were lucky because it was sunny and nice out...except on the last day...after lunch...the sky got darker and darker...and before we knew it...it was snowing buckets.  We still had a good time though.  Gung Gung was pretty happy.  I think he had a good birthday.
