Mammoth Mountain Winter Retreat 2007

St. John's Mammoth Crew, 2007
Go, Scotty Go!
Adrian squeals with delight as the soft snow tickles his toes.
"Really, Chris? That's sooooooo fascinating.....NOT!"
Lean to the right, Mel.
Veronica loves her tube so much she's just gotta hug it.
Travis is not joking around when it comes to his tubing enjoyment.
Carol's back in town! And she has an ominous bodyguard named Stephen.
Only moments later Veronica was unwittingly blindsided by a "Christoper Hurricane."
It's sad when old people fall off their tubes.
I swear Noah gets taller every year.
Who can reconcile the disparity of clothing warmth between Carol and Christie?
These lovebirds feel like they're soaring over the city (because they are - in a gondola).
Remain calm, Bryce. We will be at the top of the gondola soon and everything will be OK.
No, we didn't just have an argument! Why do you ask?
Tyler and Noah get ready to burn the snow up with their hot snowboard mountain shredding.
Snow bunnies!

Noah conquers the mountain...
...and the mountain conquers Noah
Christie's so good she skis up hill.
Chris! You're facing the wrong way! Now, pull your pants up and get in line!

Gotta fuel up for hittin' the slopes
Scott grabs a small energy snack.
"Do these sunglasses look big on my face?"
Awwwwwww! Brothers and sisters (and Mel?).
"I didn't fall. I'm just cooling the back of my knees!"
Now matter how fast she goes, Sabrina can NEVER catch her shadow!
It was Veronica's first time snowboarding and she was awesome!
The Swanson sisters race down the mountain.
What a bunch of cheese balls.
"Do we look cute in our blue and black coordinated outfits?"
Christie and Noah look like nice people.
Don't cry Travis. We'll be at the top of the gondola soon and you won't have to be afraid anymore.
Wake up, Adrian, it's time to eat!
Yo!
Is that frost bite? Was Scott punched in the nose? Very strange.
Gather 'round the fire for an old fashioned sing along, kids!
time for worship
One of the best things about Mammoth is the chance to kick back and sing.
so many songs to choose from....
I know we sang a lot of great praise songs, but I'm a little FUZZY as to which ones we did.
"Is my nose red?"
"Sure, I'm a youth pastor as my day job, but my REAL gig is as a highly sought after rugged male model."
You might want to start eating meat again, Nick.
