Skiing with Grant

Jeffery, Grant, and I went up to the Diamond Peak Ski Resort above Incline Village at Lake Tahoe for a great day on the snow.  We are so glad we did, since the snow is nearly gone now, and we probably wouldn't have gotten another good chance this season if we'd waited.  We all had a blast, but Grant was particularly jubilant about getting back on the skis after 18 years, when he was such a ski-kid, he was on Ski Patrol.  He took to it like a fish back to water.  We hadn't been in a couple years, due to low snow, so we, too, we darned satisfied at the end of the day.  Grant treated us to shakes and fries at the Jax Truckee Diner afterwards, so we only needed a light sup when we got home.

now he's ready!

Jeffery took this from above on the ski-lift.  See our selfie-shadow?

I like the long slope in this shot of Grant.


there I go down the hill

here comes Grant.  We didn't get one of Jeffery in motion, sad to say.

how empty the place was; we rather loved it.

the requisite happy-together photo!

I'm not exactly sure what they mean by the G.S but I know who O-God means with a black diamond next to it, and I'm not going down that snow road, that's for sure

last ride up to take my last slide down,  It sure has been fun!
