Our winners today 🍍

🥇 My California - Mammoth Mountain Round 3 by @derekrichardson

This is my third and most likley final trip to Mammoth for this winter season. You can see my first two trips here and here. Heavy winds and high traffic made the drive up the 395 a little extra exciting. In a few areas of the Mojave the dust was blowing through the air so thick that it was hard to see the highway at all. And between Ridgecrest and Olancha there was a vehicle fire on the side of the highway which had caught a lot of the brush along the road on fire. Although the fire department was already there dealing with it, it backed up the traffic pretty bad. Then upon arriving in Mammoth I drove into a snowstorm! Luckily I have 4wd and the snow was light so it wasn't a big deal. The snowstorm continued all night and into our first ski day. Despite the storm we headed up to the mountain to get some runs in. But with the snow, the cold, the heavy winds, low visibility, and the long lift lines due to most of the mountain being closed... it was pretty miserable and we called it a day after just four runs.

🥉 Trip to South America no. 81 Ecuador – Parque Nacional Cajas by @olusiu

When you travel for a long time, you don't want certain cyclical events such as the world, family, when the vacation falls on your travels. This is what happened to Agatha, who had to spend her family in Ecuador in the Cajas National Park. We know I like the word had to because being outside of personal pleasures also brought us slow arguments that made me laugh, especially since I was born again that day.
