Mammoth

March 2022: Day 5

Zeus and Zeddy have such a hard life.

Not paying attention = going to fall over.

Ready to go.

Lucas very much wanted to go left.

Still arguing about going left.

Getting Lucas to pay attention today was pretty difficult.

Look where you're going!

Finally paying attention = skiing much better.

One of the last runs up and down Schoolyard.

Father-son bonding.

Lucas has a very small wedge going.

So. Many. Stairs.

Late morning view from the Westin.

Finally snow! Not much but it's snow!

Maybe 3" of new snow.

Gotta love downhill.

The fake DC building looks like it's seen better days.

Passing Olancha RV Park and Motel.

5 miinute-based range estimate (downhill thru Red Rocks)

vs. 30 minute-based data.

Tesla enthusiast was towing a loaded trailer. Said range hit was 66% vs. predicted. Ouch.

Dinnertime.

Inside Crispy Pork Gang.

The food is legit.

As mornings this season have gone, Mike took Lucas out on the slopes all morning. Lucas' stamina has definitely increased vs. the first two trips, he's now doing double or triple the runs he did before. Maybe there's hope for him to catch up to Mason?? Although this morning in particular, it seemed like he had a lot of trouble paying attention, sooooooo maybe a few more years...

Pretty smooth drive back to LA in the afternoon. Even met a crazy enthusiast who was towing a loaded U-haul box trailer with his Model 3, and describing the 66% (ish) range hit he was taking. Got in enough of a charge while chatting to not have to worry about charge the rest of the time with the Model 3, too.

Dinner in North Hollywood at Crispy Pork Gang, with an unexpectedly legit crispy pork fried rice. Thai spicy there is pretty intense, too. The som thum (papaya salad) done medium spicy was a bit too heavy on sauce but was also excellent. For a hole in the wall that's open 9am to 3am I had modest expectations and was pleasantly surprised how good they were.
