Rain at Sugar Bowl... off to the tunnels!

8 days.  Out of 38 ski days... were rain.  I gave up this year and bought some fishing pants and some waterproof gloves made for snowblowers.  But it is especially hard to take kids skiing in the rain.  At least for them to last all day.  I think that's near impossible.  Not that I'm complaining... we'll take the precip in any form we can take it...

Anyway, we had two rainy days in April at the ski cabin... we took the kids up to the ski hill on both days, but we ended up taking shelter at the tunnels.  The rain usually didn't last, but taking shelter in the tunnels was pretty fun.  

rain, rain... no snow...

yeah... didn't last long at Sugar Bowl...

The second time, I remembered to bring some steel wool!... but it was so icy in there that we couldn't go all the way into the deeper tunnel. 

Check out this tunnel kicker.  Through the tunnel, then boom...

Muir Beach time!

Had a fun little outing to Muir Beach a while back.... (maybe a month back now?)... sheesh I've gotta catch up here.  Well, AK has taken me a while to edit... and I'm currently training for a 600k coming up in two weekends.  So I've been trying to spend as much time as I can on the saddle.  Anyway, here's a quick post to remind me how awesome Muir Beach can be.... if you get there early enough not to fight over a parking spot, if it's a foggy day that turns sunny, and if the kiddos are in a good mood to go on some hikes.
