Badger Pass Skiing

Last weekend my best buds from elementary school and I went skiing at Badger Pass in Yosemite.  We drove up Saturday to Tenaya Lodge where we stayed for 2 nights.  On Sunday we piled into my jeep and drove about an hour to Badger Pass. Luckily we didn't need any chains.  When we got there we picked up our rental gear that we ordered from Tenaya Lodge the night before.  This was especially nice since we didn't have to wait in any lines.

Around 10:30 we were on the slopes skiing.  Now, just to put some perspective on this trip, we haven't skied in about 15 years except for Gabe who has been shredding on a snowboard for a few years now.  Badger Pass is small, they have 3 different levels of skiing; green, blue, and black.  No double black diamonds here.  Over the next 6 hours we skied all the runs enjoying the nice 60 degree weather.  We had an absolute blast, it was super mellow and a good way to transition back into skiing.   This trip was so much fun that it cemented an annual ski trip amongst the 4 of us.  I wonder where we'll end up next year?!
