Weekend in the Snow

President's Day Weekend 2011 was Sophia's first visit to the snow. A very big thanks to the Borchardt Family whom once again graciously allowed the Magos Family use of their cabin. Others in attendance this weekend were my mom and dad, Nino Don, Brenda, Daniel and Bailey, Nino Vic, Tia Letti and Nicasio.

We almost didn't make it up to Shaver Lake on Saturday because Caltrans was requiring chains. Luckily Mitzi and I bought chains in Prather before we went up the hill and we were able to safely make it the rest of the way. My Nino Vic had to go back down the hill to buy chains and they joined us at the cabin about a half and hour later.

It snowed a overnight and we woke up on Sunday morning to a beautiful sight outside. The sun was out and the snow was glowing with the sunlight hitting it. Luckily the road was plowed and we were able to use the sleds. I've included a few photos and videos of the weekend below, enjoy!

This was how our car was found after a night of snow:
