Mom visiting California, April 19-26

This will be mostly photos, but when my Mom and Rich arrived on Saturday, we headed straight to the Valley with a shot stop to drop off stuff in SF.  We did the Mist Trail to Vernal and Nevada Falls, both of which had a lot of water.  On Monday, Rich, Cori, and I climbed Oak Tree Flake to Bay Tree Crack.  It was Rich's first climb in almost 30 years, but he did great on the 5.6 crack climbing.  Later that week, we went biking from Hayes Valley in SF, over the Golden Gate, to Sausalito for lunch, then to Tiberon, back to Sausalito, and back to SF via ferry and Market St.  I've never biked more than 10 miles, and this was close to 40!  My butt is still sore...  Th day they left, we hiked along the hills south of Muir Beach to a little cove.

4 days, 4 airports, two trips to LA, April 9-12

I did a presentation at work on Monday, traveling OAK to BUR, then SFO to LAX on Friday!  Lotsa flyin'

Three Days of Skiing, April 5-6

This could be the last of the year.  I hit the middle of a big storm earlier in the week at Squaw, which had the worst visibility I've ever experienced along with patches of good and bad snow.  This weekend, we had two spring days at Alpine with warm temperatures and fun conditions in the morning before the snow turned to crap later in the day.

Last run of the year at Alpine Meadows?
