Monday Slopes

Fortified with warm breakfasts, we head for today's destination, Buck Hill! Only a fifteen-minute drive south, it was good enough to train Olympian Lindsey Vonn so it's good enough for us. Warm clothing is a must.

The activity is snow tubing with equipment similar to what we use for tubing the Frio. Younger granddaughter loses no time getting on the moving sidewalk that takes tubers to the top of the hill. Moms also get in on the fun. Lanes are divided by snow bumpers since no one wants crashes at those speeds. Soon tubers come flying down the hill.

Pawpaw and I take a break and go inside the chalet and have an adult beverage; he also orders onion rings.

We have time for a few more photos before leaving. According to the younger generation, they were ready for more and planning for ski lessons.
