On Saturday Andrew and I went to Mountain High, a ski resort in the San Gabriel mountains, for some snow tubing with friends. For those of you who don't what snow tubing is, it essentially just consists of you going down a small slope on a giant rubber tube! It was a pretty cold morning start but it had warmed up nicely by the end of our session at lunch time. The resort was pretty busy and there were some queues but it gave you time to marvel at the scenery. Amazingly it was completely snow covered where we were but you could see across our valley and down below there was nothing but sand!
We thoroughly enjoyed tubing and decided that going down 'superman style' was the most effective. This is where you throw yourself and the tub down head first, with you lying on the tube on your stomach. I have to say I was a bit hesitant at first, mainly because I didn't want to slip off and look like a fool but with some simple instruction I managed it.
Here's a few shots we snapped on our phone as we were busy enjoying.
We are definitely going to be going up to Mountain High again. It's only just over an hour from our house and there's skiing, snowboarding, tubing and just space to walk around and enjoy, potentially even go sledging!
So that pretty much draws our Christmas and New Year holiday to a close. All we have got planned now is time to get Andrew sorted for going back to work and to rid the house of Christmas decorations. Stay tuned for some winter decorations....once I've got my act together!
