A Day on the Mountain

Yesterday we went up to Mt. Baker for the day.  There was a skiff of new snow and a gorgeous clear blue sky, two snowshoers, two skiers and two boarders and a tail gate lunch.  
It was a perfect storm as Hubby likes to say.
 We met for the tailgate lunch in the White Salmon Lodge parking lot where Hubby grilled cheeseburgers for a hungry crew.


Danny and Jess enjoyed some of my magic hot cocoa with Christmas marshmallows and a Hot Cocoa Cookie.  Those cookies were meant to be eaten while enjoying the snow.

 After lunch Hubby and I went out on the snowshoes again and trekked up to the base of chair 8 where we could watch the skiers and catch our breath.  And along came our guys.   After chatting they took off for more skiing and boarding and we went back down.  We sat at the base and watched the skiers and the beginners on the bunny hill for a bit. Jess joined us for coffee before meeting up with the guys again.
Back at home it was hot tub time, pizza for dinner and bed by nine.
