Shmuli is chatting with one of the ski instructors. His focus on this trip was practicing parallel skiing (which means, for the uneducated regarding skiing like myself, that he is learning to go down the steep slopes in a nice S shape, winding back and forth instead of racing straight down the slope).

Big Bear Zoo
Here are my boys, ready for a visit to the mountain zoo. We are particularily fond of this zoo, as all the animals are rescued because they would not be able to survive in the wild. Some of the more notable animals are a three legged bear, a blind fox, an eagle with a broken wing and deer that were tamed by a well-meaning mountain resident. Shmuli is proudly wearing his bear claw which he bought at the museum store (the "claw" is actually carved from wood by a local Native American).
