DAY 1 - After a long morning drive, I drop Valerie and our gear off at Little Eagle and find a distant parking space on Meridian Blvd

Unfortunately, that shuttle is heading in the wrong direction...my long walk in snowboarding boots begins

It takes more than 15 minutes to walk back to the lodge...at least the weather is nice

There's definitely more snow here than during our last visit

My legs are hurting and this is how Valerie thanks me for dropping her off with our gear?

This is the new building at Little Eagle

Runs from Chair 25 were closed due to poor coverage during our last trip, but there's plenty of powder here this time

Winds start to blow hard during the afternoon

We're staying off the top this trip

I see coworker Paul kicking back at Eagle

Riding up Eagle Express

Another shot from the lift

One last shot from the lift on our last run of the day

After a skier collides with her, Valerie retreats to Eagle Lodge and finds a ridiculously large bandage in the Ski Patrol office

We have returned to Angel's Restaurant, the place Peter and Nelson introduced us to during our previous Mammoth trip

Valerie shows off her new wound

I order the Jambalaya, one of tonight's specials

Valerie has been craving Angel's bbq ribs and sweet potato fries ever since our first visit. I dig their Chipotle Mayo dipping sauce

DAY 2 - Overnight, Mammoth has received six inches of fresh!

I brave the continuing storm to pick up breakfast

The Pilot handles this much snow with ease
