Annual ski trip to Squaw

I hadn't ski'ed in almost 2 years thanks to my knee injury, surgery and the arrival of Surabhi. This was going to be a big test of the knees. Squaw is one of the most beautiful places in the world, but would I be able to comfortably ski again? Over the years, skiing has become more of a sightseeing activity than a sport for me. I have chosen not to go any more aggressive while skiing, which means that I want to ski so that I can enjoy the views from the top of the mountain.

In this trip, that mission was definitely accomplished. The views from the top of Siberia Express were as breathtaking as ever. I ski'ed for a couple of hours and started feeling a bit of discomfort so I decided to stop. I had a great lunch at the top of the mountain where the Tram stops and had a great party last evening. Overall, it was a fun trip.
