Feb 10, just a few weeks ago C and I went skiing at the Big Bear. We had our special 2 year One-Roof-Anniversary, so we took a few days off to ski and spent the night in Wolf Lodge. After checking into the hotel and spending some time driving back and forth to get our skiing passes, we stopped for our traditional bloody mary mix and some jello shots, which were pretty awful, but fun. The day was super warm with no snow on the ground other than the mountain. But, the mountain was covered with snow and enough lifts were open for our enjoyment. C did great, although he got a little frustrated with my constant instruction/correction, combined with changing snow conditions and zooming snowboarders. So, it was a fun, but not the most relaxing day. It was doubly nice to unwind and have a romantic dinner at the best local restaurant in town. We very much enjoyed the lobster ravioli, and the ahi tuna, and the bottle of EOS Estate 2009 red zinfandel wine, which was super yummy.
After dinner we took a little walk in the quiet village and headed back to the lodge with dreams of starting up our fireplace, which never happened because we fell asleep. But, C started it up for us in the morning, and we enjoyed it long enough to warm up our socks and head to the mountain. On this beautiful day the snow conditions were much better and C enjoyed much success skiing down the far left slopes with some grace and zoom. A perfect day on the mountain and a perfect gateway with my perfect soulmate :)
