Trip to the snow

We went to the Cisco Grove snow park yesterday (around 5500 feet elevation) and went tubing. They had a lift - kind of like the walking sidewalks in airports - that went up the hill, and you bring your tube with you on the lift. There is a guy at the top who helps you get on and lets go and you go flying down the mountain.


Owen loved it, but Douglas thought it was too scary, so he and I did some lower key sledding and snowman-making (although the snow was mostly either too powdery or too icy for making good snowballs).


We also played in the snow and wandered around the area a bit. It was very pretty. There's not much snow on the ground though. We first stopped at Yuba Gap, which is the closest snow park, but they had so little snow on the ground, and it was so icy, that they were turning people away.
