Memorial Day Skiing



Memorial Day and I was skiing at Mammoth. This is the first time I have been "Spring Skiing", and I enjoyed myself. We still had a lot of snow and the conditions were pretty good. Even early in the morning it was not too icy. I went up with a Meet-Up group and a good time was had by all. I didn't know any of them before, but they were all nice people.
As I was driving through Bishop on Friday I remembered that it was Mule Days. So on Saturday after skiing, I drove down to go to the evening performance. They had the pack scramble, chariot races, mule pole bending and lots of other stuff. I ate an Indian Taco for dinner and Kettle Corn for desert. I remember how I loved it those many years ago that we went up there and how I wanted to buy a mule. No desire to buy a mule this time around, but a fun time anyway.
I think this will probably be the last ski trip for the year. It got really hot with my jacket on, and I need the pockets to carry stuff so I can't go w/o it. Such troubles I have. I could break down and buy a light weight jacket with pockets, couldn't I? LOL
