Snow are ice crystal that fall from the sky. Many songs and poems have been created to describe how seeing snow makes people feel.

For this SoCal kid, snow is an extended version of Winter Break. Were I live we call this Ski Week. Ski Week is an additional week usually after New Year's Day but falls during prime ski season. This year we spent Ski Week in Mammoth, a popular mountain about six hours north of Los Angeles. Mammoth was a blast and the snow - so soft like powder!

Powder snow is ideal for both skiers and snowboarders - which I am. It's soft and what folks call - untouched. I like it because you can cut deep into it to maximize your speed on a board. If it's too deep turning can be difficult but aside for that it is epic! I spend hours snowboarding, and falling.

We also played in the snow. Mammoth had storms coming through while we were there so we also had what is called packed powder. Packed powder is the snow that comes after a storm. Our mom wouldn't allow us on the slopes because packed powder can be uneven. So we stayed near the cabin making snow angels, forts for snow ball fights, of course snowmen, and making bad jokes about the snow like: “Hey, its a snow bank” “I wanna make a deposit” . This was fun.

Even though during our Ski Week we spent four days when we we were unable to leave the cabin we still made memories and spent time together. For me Ski Week 2023 was family time and I appreciated it.
