Most days of skiing are good at the very least, but every now and then there's a day that surmounts the rest, usually when the mountain is covered in a blanket of fresh powder. Joel and I were lucky enough to have such a day while we were home for the holidays. There were 8-10 inches of powder, blue skies and practically no crowds. Pure bliss.

A Perfect Day at Badger Pass
Tucked between the mountain crests of Yosemite National Park is Badger Pass. This hidden gem boasts of three (functioning) lifts and 8 runs, all of which bear intimidating names such as, Turtle, Beaver, Rabbit, and Chipmunk, which may be a true testament to the level of difficulty of said runs. A serious skier may scoff at our humble local ski resort, but after the countless days I spent there during high school, I feel a certain loyalty to the mountain.
