We decided on day 2 of MLK weekend to take a trip into Badger Pass to do some skiing. They had just opened for the season the day before. On the way in at about 8:30 am, we were treated to the amazing view above. That was worth the drive!

Once we got to Badger, we got the dogs settled in and I took a snow shoe hike to the top of the mountain, where the helicopter lands.

The view from the top gave you a great look at all the peaks and the other trails.
We had a good day - it was warm and sunny. We packed up at about 3 to head home. Coming down the mountain, we got stopped by a Ranger who had the road closed in both directions. We had to wait about 25 minutes to get through. However, the spot we were stuck gave us the view of Half Dome above! Not a bad spot to be stuck for a little while! Grace go out and took pics and we had some cheese and crackers! Turns out a car had gone off the road into a creek. Luckily it didn't look like there were any injuries. But their mini van was a mess!
When we got down to the valley floor we were treated to seeing fog in the meadows! And right next to it was El Cap lit up by the last sunshine of the day!
