President's Day in Tahoe

I’ve uploaded the President’s Day photos of Tahoe to the Pictures section of my site. Check them out!

Here are some highlights:

We started out at Alpine Meadows.

The next day, we skied Squaw Valley. Towards the end of the day, we traversed over around Olympic Lady from KT-22 all the way to the west facing side of Red Dog. This is one of the chutes we took.

On the second Squaw Valley day, I skied with my sister and her family. This picture is the half-pipe which we did several times.

We also went down the east face of Olympic Lady (off KT-22) twice with my nine year old niece. It was bumped out and totally fun. She loved it.

On the final day, we hiked out the back of Alpine Meadows to the (in-bounds) back country area. I had Ross take this shot of me from above.

Until next year…

Vail in Three Weeks

I’ve been skiing a few times this season, all at the local, overcrowded bunny hills just east of Los Angeles. The snow pack averages about 1 foot of natural snow so you don’t really get anything worthwhile to ski on. I’ve been trying hard to pull together a few trips and now with all things planned and budgeted I’m heading up to Vail, Colorado in three weekends and Tahoe over president’s day.

Hopefully Vail will have the snow pack that Tahoe has, which is expecting up to ten feet of snow at the resorts this weekend. Man I wish I was there. Here’s a picture of Beaver Bowl at Alpine Meadows (clipped from their website):
