Mammoth Mountain

February is practically over and I have been a bad blogger. I do have my reasons and that's because 2 weekends we spent driving up to Mammoth Lakes in the eastern Sierras. The kids got 2 3 day weekends to enjoy back to back and for we decided to go for it.

The first weekend I drove up with the kids and met my friend Julie along with her cousins & friends so total us up all together and I think we were 10 sharing a condo at The Village. Our drive up was uneventful (which is great) but when we reached Mammoth the weather definitely different. Cold & windy with snow in the forecast but we were all nice a cozy in our penthouse condo.

Good morning from #mammothmountain Snow!❄️❄️

We had plenty of restaurants to choose from and we just take the gondola there to the right to Canyon Lodge. We had to bundle up to go snowboarding to face the elements.

I think we would have done better if it weren't for the windy conditions.

Snowy blustery Saturday

Not that we were heading up to the top of the mountain but we couldn't see much past the lifts.

It was hard to keep track of both boys on the slope. Everyone looks the same, more or less.

Sunday was better weather-wise but not much. We managed the best we could.

Maybe this is why we usually come up during the spring to avoid this kind of weather. :)
Naturally Monday was beautiful and calm when we headed home.

Monday morning snow

The kids didn't seem to mind clearing the car of overnight snow.
