Ron, myself, JW, Bonnie, Scottie, Pam, and Stewie met at the usual breakfast place before heading to Paradise. It was such a gorgeous day our group decided to celebrate the continued nice weather and remainders of the heavy snowpack with "mountain margaritas" and nice summer corn as we yo-yoed the Paradise Patch. Skiing was great with the softened snow, we were even joined by our friend "Billy". He stood on a rock outcropping with a watchful eye checking our technique as each of us skied down the slope in front of his lookout :D. Lots of people in the park enjoying the wildflowers and beautiful weather.
Here's a collage of those that Ron's camera managed to catch:

And Billy did certainly seem to enjoy the festivities...
While he didn't seem to have any interest in joining us in our passion for the infamous mountain margaritas, he certainly showed an interest in our means of downhill conveyance.
Here's a sequence showing Billy's careful observation of a skier's descent, which was repeated for each of four skiers:
Pretty cool, eh? :D

Looking great everyone! Sorry I missed out, hope to see you in October...
The Goat was beautiful and Ron's correct as I was last one down and watched the Goat move into a positon where he could watch each skier and you could tell by his head movements that he follwed each skier. Way cool! Thanks for the pics Mad-Dog and RonJ. Margareitas weren't half bad either.
Fun and painless September turns 8).....really painless after a few Mountain Margs. 8) I'm sorry to have missed Billy....here's a shot of the whole crew
