Lift to Tranquility

It's been eight years since I snowboarded at Mt. Hood with my college friends, so it was really cool to try out skiing with Ruby today at Snow Summit in Big Bear! We took a class (which helped a ton), and then went on our own down the slopes. The region had some of best snowfall in years and made for ideal conditions for skiing and snowboarding. Riding on the lifts gives a certain kind of tranquility, when you're floating up above everyone else, and all is quiet with the clouds just above you...
