Madison's turn for a cookie.

The snow that started the night before continued all day on Sunday. Did not make it to the slopes quite as early as planned, which worked out as that meant time for a proper breakfast at the hotel restaurant. Over a few visits we've learned to pretty much only get the pancakes or the spinach and mushrom omelet, as the breakfast burrito and the parfait are more or less the exact same as the to-go ones (sad)...

After breakfast, managed to catch up with Siva's group on the mountain. Had some great runs in the fresh snow, although visiblity and weather were so bad that the top of the mountain was closed. Madison had dug his snowboard gear out of the closet and was having a grand time remembering how to snowboard again, while at the first break of the day, Siva reminded us how delicious the grilled cheese sandwiches were at Mill Cafe.

Dinner was Chris' handiwork, with galbi and shishito peppers on the grill, plus more veggies and Lan Lan/Mike's kale salad. Madison, Siva, and Austin all came over as well-- was nice to properly hang out, although holy cow, Chris and Madison got deep into their deal hunting ways...
