Today was a good day. 🥳
The X-59 has completed its first flight! 🎉✈️
A new era of supersonic flight begins with Skunk Works® and @NASA.
This is true, right @dmasten?!
When @dmasten gets skis without telling you, after you just got him @MomentSkis Wildcat 108s, it might be time to get some @MomentSkis Siren 104s. 😈

The best part of my day was watching this. Pure High Sierra wintery zen. 🙌🏼

Fri-YAY vibes. Why not spend a quiet Friday morning in the Lakes Basin?! @dmasten wanted to use his skinny skis, so I went on a chill tour to soak up all the zen. Zero complaints and no toe injuries (iykyk 😂). #optoutside #easternsierra #momentskis #ridgemerino #skiing
Not too shabby when you can ski in the morning and visit the @momentskis mothership in the afternoon. Zero complaints. The jellyfish are FINALLY mounted. Now I just need to find those space shuttle graphic Wildcats in my size… 🚀 #momentskis #easternsierra #optoutside #skiing
If the crazy winds force you to change plans, just go with the flow. Raging winds sent us to @palisadestahoe and we had a great time despite the winds. Bonus points being a bad influence on Dave, getting him to demo @MomentSkis. Oops! #momentskis #optoutside #ski #sierranevada
Hey @dmasten 🍪 🥛
Sunday Funday: twin planks zen edition. The snow was pretty darn stellar and there were some horrendous lines, but it was an absolutely wonderful day. Always thankful for every day on the twin planks. #mammothmountain #momentskis #optoutside #skiing #easternsierra #rangeoflight
…and a few more for good measure. #mammothmountain #momentskis #optoutside #skiing #easternsierra #rangeoflight #snow

More work content. Oops. 😎
Look at that glow 💎🔥
Check out the powerful afterburner exhaust coming from the tail of NASA's supersonic X-59, its unique Mach diamonds, also known as shock diamonds—visible in the superhot plume!

While we prefer the SEKI wilderness, we’re happy to visit the front country. The skiing might be waiting for more snow, but it was a lovely day of wandering amongst giant trees and enjoying expansive views. #findyourpark #sierranevada #seki #kingscanyon #rangeoflight #optoutside
The tradition is going strong. Avy bombs are going off. Merry pow-day Christmas to those that celebrate. ⛷️🎄#merrychristmas #powday #mammothmountain #whitechristmas #skiing #easternsierra #rangeoflight #optoutside #magichour #sunrise #letfunrule #cottoncandy

The X-59, @NASAAero’s quiet supersonic aircraft, completed its maximum afterburner engine run test. The afterburner adds additional thrust and, along with the engine, will allow the X-59 to meet its speed requirements: go.nasa.gov/3BGtL4Q

Sunday Funday: mixed bag of wintery zen edition. A last minute change of plans lead to a very zen filled time in the Giant Forest. There is something magical about untouched snow in the forest. Zero complaints. #findyourpark #optoutside #sierranevada #seki #hiking #snow #sequoia

That magical moment when your husband brings you a maple bacon bar from the @VoodooDoughnut in the Denver Airport. Clearly @dmasten loves me if he sat with it the whole flight 🍩😋

Mellow Sierra Vibes. We were hoping to wander around while it was snowing on Saturday, but the weather had other plans. It was windy and chilly, but oh so blissful in the High Sierra. #easternsierra #snow #rangeoflight #sierranevada #optoutside #lifeisbestabove10k
