Snow Play - Wrightwood, CA











Had someone told me that there was over 3 feet of snow on the ground in Wrightwood, I would have never believed it if I hadn't seen it for myself. Even though the weather was not supposed to be the greatest yesterday, we decided to haul the kids up the mountain to try out our new sled. We made it all the way to the West Resort of Mountain High and then the road wasn't plowed any further. We tried to go further, but they were plowing and we couldn't get through. So, we turned around and went back to the west resort parking lot. We parked and found a nice hill that we thought we could sled on, but the snow was WAY to deep. It was literally up to my hip as Skye and I tried to go up the hill for a ride down. We quickly decided that wasn't going to work, so we jumped back in the car and headed out of Wrightwood where they only got about 12-18 inches of new snow overnight. We found a great place to park and went and found our own little hill with a natural jump in it. The snow was still fluffy and deep, so it took a few runs for us to get it packed down so we could have some fun. Then, we spent over an hour doing run after run. Landon even went down the hill with us and he was probably wondering what we were doing.








We built a snow man too, which was pretty cool. You can see it in the distance in one of the pictures. We didn't take the camera with us to the hill, so I had to snap a shot from the distance. Our snowman was loved so much that a group of people from a country to the south of us stopped by and started taking pictures next to it. We thought that was kinda weird that they wanted to take pictures of someone elses snowman instead of building one of their own!! We saw plenty of weird things yesterday including a dude with a used car tire that he apparently thought would work as a sled......BF Goodrich 225/65/15 I think it was.....Anyway, plenty of gold teeth and cubic zirconium stud earings to go around yesterday.








Also, while we were on the mountain, apparently there was a large avalanche. A 23 yr old off-duty ski patrol guy was killed and another guy is missing. There were cops, paramedics, Search and Rescue and firemen all over the mountain yesterday. Word is that this is the first known avalanche at the Wrightwood ski resorts ever recorded. it happened in the backcountry of the East Resort, out of boundaries. I noticed last night that the Mountain High Ski Resort had a blurb on their website to not ski out of boundaries because it is not safe. I bet their lawyers made them put that up!








Enjoy!
