Mammoth

April 2019: Day 2

Long lines for the gondola.

High clouds make for halos around the sun.

Alpenglow rye IPA, Filarsky shake IPA (nice hints of honey if you take a long pull), Doc Brown (Belgian style abbey ale), Saint James peach cider.

Spicy mango (right) and grapefruit margaritas at Roberto's.

Happy kid!

Using his burping towel as a hat?

Laughing!

Massive plate with two duck tacos.

Chorizo burrito.

Dessert'D pie jars. Pretty tasty!

Nice enough day on the mountain, lots of runs up and down High Five to start the day off, then some terrific snow on Cornice as we did top to bottom runs. Mike and I bailed early, Tara and Eugene snowboarded a few hours extra.

We managed to miss our ride back to the condo, so we had a few beers at Shelter Distilling in the Village. The beers there have gotten better than before, with the Filarsky shake IPA being particularly interesting if you took a long-enough pull to get hints of honey. The Saint James Peach cider wasn't terribly interesting, but it was a just-different, just-tasty enough contrast to the rest to be a decent addition.

Just managed to beat the crowd at Roberto's for dinner; Lucas had fun playing with his towel while the adults enjoyed their margaritas. The food is okay enough to keep everyone happy, at least until Lucas decided he'd had enough and it was time to go home. Fortunately we had Game of Thrones on HBO and Dessert'D pie jars for Eugene's birthday to spend the rest of the evening!
