Hey everyone, this is Judith (Christian’s lovely girlfriend 
) Don’t be surprised about me as a new writer of this blog, but I’m just helping our little lazy Christian keeping you up-to-date on our stay in the US
This weekend Christian and I, together with two friends of ours: Kate and Tim, spend three exiting days in Mammoth, which lays on the east side of Yosemite National Park. The exitement already started with an 8h-drive on Thursday night over 5 mountain passes, but luckily Kate is very experienced in driving in the snow. She lived in Mammoth for 3 years and we all stayed at her friend’s appartment.
After all four of us had to work remotely on Friday, we finally hit the run on Saturday morning. We had unexpected sunny weather as you can see on the pictures. The forcasted storm hit Mammoth one day later, which made our Sunday on the mountain very windy and cold with steady snowfall. I don’t know if I have ever seen so much snow coming down in my life. The runs were full of pouder and Christian and I learned on skis and snowboard how you can best go (and fall ) on powder snow. As they were closing the lifts at 1:30pm, we wanted to leave anyway to quickly shower an hit the road for our way back to the Bay Area / San Fransisco. When we wanted to leave they also closed all roads and passes going North because of the storm. But after an “emergency session”, we decided to drive South and take on an extra long drive of about 10 hours to be back for work on Monday. With a driving hang over we all started work…BUT it was very much worth it. We had the full experience of sun and snow and I’m already excited to hit the runs again at Lake Tahoe next weekend…stayed tuned to read about Christians first experiences on a snowboard
