Linda Rich, one of Nancy’s buddies from way, way back, and her daughter Carly came up for a day of skiing at Northstar.

There’s only two weeks left in the season, and the weather coming up looks iffy, so it was a good day to get out for some classic Sierra spring skiing.

This was just the second day skiing this year for Linda.

“Is this where you want me to turn?” said the ski model to the ski photographer.

Nancy was stoked to spend a day ripping with her bros.

Are you instructors?

Oh-oh. French instructors.

Mark took a break from packing up his belongings to move to SoCal to get a few turns in.

Carly was on her high school snowboard race team last year. She decided to ski today so the rest of us wouldn’t heckle her.

Linda surprised herself by skiing all day, despite a bum knee.

One last turn.

A sunny day, soft snow, a big burrito for lunch—can’t beat it.
