Went skiing at Mt. Baldy today
I went skiing on Mt. baldy today. The snow was soft, the sun was out, and there was hardly anybody out there enjoying it all. I know most people were at work but the few of us that thought skiing was a better option for today had the place to ourselves. No waiting at the lifts is always a welcome experience, and at times being the only one on a run can actually feel strange and freeing at the same time.

The recent Southern California storm system brought in a couple of feet of fresh snow to the local mountains. The Mt. Baldy ski area now has a 3-5 foot base and it has been staying cool up there to preserve it.
The Mt. Baldy ski area has only 4 chair lifts but the terrain is varied and about half the runs are single and double black diamonds, so advanced skiers can have a lot of fun and get a good workout. I enjoy the runs around Chair 3 which is for advanced skiers so the terrain is varied and challenging. Another advanced area is around Chair 1 which is the first lift out of the parking lot. Sometimes the runs around Chair 1 can be icy and you have to stay alert watching for obstacles.

I prefer these smaller ski areas because it’s easier to avoid the crowds that would be at the larger ski resorts. Mt. Waterman is another great ski area in Southern California that is not too crowded with some excellent skiing.
Another storm is on its way this weekend, so skiing in Southern California is going out with a bang this year. We are finally going to have a ski season in our local mountains.

I think we all like the “idea” of an adventure. Going out and meeting the world head on, simply taking that chance that bit of risk our common sense tells us not to act upon. Or doing something which normally would not be considered among your personality traits; at least how others perceive you. Your inner “closet” desires need to be full-filled. Sometimes, you have to take that flying leap into the unknown. It doesn’t matter if you fall flat on your face and make a fool of yourself, or end up looking like a clown. Feeling that rush of adrenaline through your body, that electrifying sensation of your brain synapses firing off because you just had an experience like no other. Sure your adventure could be a jump out of a plane at 13,000ft., or a deep sea dive, it could even be as adventurous as a once in a lifetime night with a sexy woman you finally achieved the courage to ask out. What ever your adventure may be, don’t just dream about, do it!
