11.7 degrees outside

11.7 degrees outside. That’s what the thermometer says. That’s cold.

Lots of snow on the ground at Mammoth. The heavy lumber firewood is all covered in ice, so all I have to burn is kindling. I’ve got the house up to 60 degrees now, up from 45 degrees 24 hours ago.

I had a good full day of skiing. Powdery morning, with broken chop in the afternoon. The temps were in the 20s all day long. I didn’t take my camera up, as it was cloudy. With a few broken rays of sunshine, it just wasn’t worth it.

Surprisingly, the wind was not blowing strong at all. 5 to 10 mph was all.
