We've been pretty busy on the weekends this winter, so lately we've been doing a lot more skiing right out the door, up on Pennsylvania Mountain. We can put our skis on in the driveway and be up to almost 13,000 feet in about an hour. There's a nice bowl up there that we can take laps on. It's nice not to have to get in the car to drive anywhere to ski, and it saves a lot of time. We just put our skis on in the driveway, head through the yard

and up the road

We can be at the end of the road in about fifteen minutes, and to treeline in about fifteen more. In less than an hour from the house, we're at the top of the mountain in the photo below, where we can start skiing.

The skiing can be really good some days, and crowds aren't usually a problem.

It can get pretty windy up there, so the snow doesn't stick around for too long after a storm. Here's Becca enjoying a nice breezy spring day.

It's hard up there for a tree.

After a few good laps it's back down the road, through the yard, and home in time for lunch.
