We are going to one of the smallest resorts in CA and with only 800 vertical feet, but it is the first time I'm going skiing since March when I dislocated my knee cap, and I'm a little nervous.
Glad to hear you had a good time, good weather and no pain, Denise!

Nic Fiore (sp?) He was there on Tuesday... Skiing with a the ski patrol girl... I think he is like 85 years old or something ... he taught my mom to ski in the 60's.
Hume Lake Located in the Sequoia National Forest at an elevation of 5,200 feet, Hume Lake is an 85-acre man-made lake. A great place to camp, hike and fish, it is a nice paddling destination because motor boats are not allowed.(559) 338-2251.
We stayed at Yosemite West, about 6,000 and there was a lot of snow... maybe 2-3 feet. I had to put chains on the car.
Up at Badger Pass (7000-8000 ft) there was 5-6 feet of snow.

Does your mom ever go to SS? Or does she pretty much stick with Tahoe/Mt. Rose and Badger?
I think they went to Sierra Summit back when it was China Peak but not very often.
They like to go to Yosemite as it is pretty close and not croweded and they can ski for free (65+). Mt Rose just upped their senior age to 75 (or 80? ). I heard my mom saying that she might be able to get a better deal at North Star.

The weather and the snow were perfect. Couldn't ask for a better couple of days.
Badger Pass is only charging $20 a lift ticket mid-week and seniors are free mid-week... so it was inexpensive, too.
I'll have to pass the information along to some local skiing friends. Badger has always been cheaper than Sierra Summit and other places. Does your mom ever go to SS? Or does she pretty much stick with Tahoe/Mt. Rose and Badger?
Hey, what is the elevation of Badger? Rebekah is going to winter camp up at Hume Lake this weekend, and while I know that Badger is quite a ways away from Hume, I was wondering what the snow level is. I do need to call Hume, but it is so hard to get through to them that I thought I'd ask you

Not this trip. I'm back home.
My knee did great and it would seem that my legs are better than ever, but I took it easy and didn't push it. But nothing hurt... so that was really nice!
I had a great visit with mom and step dad.

Have fun there That's where my brother learned to ski....probably from the same guy that you learned to ski from He finally retired a year or two ago after having taught for something like 62 years or something like that
I pray that your knee holds out, and that you have a great time with your mom! Are you coming back to her house after your trip? Would love to get together.....
Blessings,

I've had that song Nelson was singing stuck in my head on and off every since you posted this. The scary thing is 20+ years after listening to the Statler Bros back and forth on fishing trips with my parents (on 8 track tape) I still remember A LOT of the words to that song! LOL

Wish me luck. [/QUOTE
Denise- I hope you have a great time, I used to ski, not well, but still skied but it is so much fun. And, you say ONLY 800 vertical feet-I'm lucky if I can ski down a small snow mound! Jill
Summer Challenge Goals: 1) Walk 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week 2) Plan weekly menus
Have a GREAT time! It will understandably be a little weird because you'll be thinking about the injury, but just concentrate on enjoying yourself doing something you love to do!
