All the years Jimmy has lived up here, he has never been up the ski run mountain, in the summer.......so up we went 9n the gondola!
Beautiful, green, cool. But once we got up to the top of the mountain...at 12,000 feet....their were lightnening and storm strikes around, so they shut the gondola down!
So, since we were just about the only ones up there, they loaded us up in a Suburban and drove us down one of the ski runs!
One of the neatest nature tours I've ever been on! There were herds of elk on the mountainside, wild turkeys, got to see the snow making machines (blowers), unusual plants....really interesting!
