Moxie and I decided to venture into the hills and that is exactly what we did. Squaw Valley ski resort offers all active duty military members free skiing all season so all one has to pay for is gas. I say 'Hell Yeah!' We went from Beale AFB which is about @ 39.13°N 121.43°W and sits about 38m / 124 feet above sea level to the summit of Squaw Valley which is @ 39.61°N 120.28° W and sits 8900 feet above sea level. It was really something. At around the 3000 elevation mark is when all of a sudden there is snow. Tons of it.
Although I could find no one else to accompany Moxie and I on our endeavor into the heights of the west the day was thoroughly enjoyed. The weather was a little wet in the morning but stopped come noon. With the air clean, the snow white, the sky gray, the powder fresh and the gas tank full - the day was well spent.
