Skiing
I just returned from a long weekend at North Lake Tahoe.
We stayed at a wonderful house in Tahoma. We arrived on Wednesday evening and left this morning. I went skiing on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at Alpine Meadows. Why Alpine? Nice staff, great terrain and a great price - $39/day. The first day I was skiing on my own. It was a beautiful day. I got 5 runs in before 10am. The snow was very fast. I then traversed to other intermediate runs to get some of the kinks out. Finally, I hiked over to the backside and skied the large bowls. I ended that off with a nice beer at the Ice Bar (my favorite place on a sunny afternoon). After that I did a quick cruiser run on the back side and returned to the front side via Our Father. I finished off the day with some more cruiser runs off the top. Brian joined me on Friday. Although it was windy and snowy, we had a great time. It was cold so the snow was relatively light (not Utah powder but not Sierra cement either). It was a bit slow going since visibility was poor but overall it was pretty awesome. Saturday was partly cloudy and cold. They said the temp on top was 10 degrees. Throw in a 20mph wind and you get a -4 degree wind chill. Yep, it was a tad chilly. It was bearable, at least until Brian did a header and froze his eye brows…definitely a site. Overall, a great time. I definitely felt like I was back at my best by Saturday…too bad I didn’t have another day. I have some Tahoe pictures at my site

What? Nothing about what your lovely wife was doing while you were out skiing??

Yes, I forgot about Steph. She slaved away at the house…barefoot and pregnant.
