Spring weekend in the mountains

We're still making it to the mountains on the weekends. The season is coming to an end and I will really miss my snowtime! The Sierra Nevada's were as spectacular as ever and the sun made for a beautiful warm weekend.
Mom had a smudge on her lens...so, you may see a 'ghost' hanging out in the photos. No more deep powder, but more of a soft crust. Still fun. We worked on some long line recalls and retreiving.
If you look closely below...you will see a pal in the upper and lower windows! The lower is the ski patrol room and an avalanche doggie was hanging out.
This is what I thought of mom's 30ft long line after a while!
Clear blue skies and a melting snow pack.
PLAYTIME!
Snow sculpture creation!
Saturday eve we were hanging out in the camper and we heard some snootering outside! Had to check things out.....
Ohhhhh! Perhaps I'll just hang in here...look those chompers! :)
Saturday eve meant bbq and bonfire! Below is an old tumbler from a clothes washing machine. Great for contained bonfires!
Sunday mom and dad met some ski patrol pals at the top of the chairlift. They were selling t-shirts as a fundraiser for Avlanche Dogs. We bought 3 shifts!
Mom seemed to have fun with these fellas!
And, WOW! What a backdrop for a game of bitey face!! :)
I was ready for more play time when mom and dad got back. Let's go! Play ball!
I'm really happy just sitting in the snow too.
Or playing in the little creek in the meadow. Just a few more trips on the calendar for our weekend snow escapes... And...this is a special week for me!! Can you guess?
