Shasta Ascension Race

They get great sunsets there

Went down to Shasta Ski Park with the fam for the weekend and participated in the Ascension ski race.  Got 14th OA and 3rd in age group.  Quite a big difference between me and the leaders.  Always humbling.  

The fam had a great time this weekend as they had the Ski Ball, which consisted of a party after the event with food, music, and booze.  That was super fun.  Although it was freezing down there.  The ski area is fun.  Longer runs, with more intermediate terrain.  Better for the kiddos.

Fun weekend down at Shasta. Night skied on Mt. A on Fri, then went straight to Shasta for the night. Got humbled at the #shastaascension race (good audio there) and got to demo skis the rest of the day (had to test how they huck off sketchy take offs). Twilight skied with the boys then went straight to the Snow Ball 🎉 which was a blast. We’ll be back next year!

With night skiing, and a fire pit outside, Kimbo gave it thumbs up.

Got a long ways to go to make top 10.  Maybe with SkiMo equipment and lots of training?

The boys loved the lights!  And the sprite!

The next day the Alvords came down

And Sena?  WTF?  Fun Coincidence
