We wanted to make the most of our last day so last night we stayed in our room, neri cooked some roast chicken and vegies for dinner and we watched bad american TV such as Rock of Love Bus, Tool Academy and A double shot at love.
Woke up early this morning, the usual routine of getting into the snow gear, walking through the village in the warm sun and catching the gondola up to the mountain. It's going to feel very strange to get back home and not see mountains and snow from our window!
The weather was so nice today that we ate breakfast outdoors at the base of the mountain.
Had such a fun and relaxing day, snow was starting to soften a bit so we did a few high speed groomers which resulted in me getting a mouthful of snow several times as wind blown snow from carving turns flew into my face.
As usual we hit the terrain parks again, although today some of the jumps felt really sketchy. I had a few close calls off of the bigger sized ones and decided to take it easy as i didn't want to hurt myself on the last day.
Had lunch at the gondola mid station... a tasty spud with chili, cheese and sour cream and then decided to hit the smaller park with the smaller half pipe for the rest of the afternoon.
Neri likes this one because it has a line of 7 small kickers, a mid sized half pipe (perisher size) and then 3 more jumps and 2 rails right at the bottom. I must admit that it is so much fun rolling through this park, even though the jumps are smaller. I could have stayed there all day... and we did.
Got to the point where we couldn't see anymore as the sun went down and finally called it quits.
We tried to get some action pics but failed miserably with timing etc.
One more dinner in the village tonight, then tomorrow we begin the long trip home with our flight from Mammoth to LA and then LA to Sydney.
