Loading up the Volvo on a mid-February Saturday morning in Pleasanton.

Ulrika and Hannah figuring out skiing plans for the day

Hans, stopping to wax his skis.

The name of Royal Gorge is inspired from all the gorgeous guys that frequent the area.

Today offered few glimpses of sun as well as some heavy snow fall.

Hans, here caught skating.

Can someone tell me why the moss grows in circles around the trees?

Aha...the quickest way back actually seems to include a lift...!

This is all but easy on cross country skis.

These guys are trained professionals on a closed course. Don't try this at home, folks.

Looks like they both made it.
I am right behind, capturing the whole adventure on film.
