Squaw Valley, not closing day.
Visited my son in Sacramento, and spent the weekend at Tahoe. Was out Friday at Squaw. Took the tram up and skied Siberia Express (1st picture) and mostly backside Shirley's lake area (2nd picture). Nice bowl skiing. Snow was soft but not slushy. We did mostly groomed blues. People were skiing the KT-22 area. Good time had by all.
Other than a half day at Discovery in Montana a couple of years ago, the last time we were out was during the SLC Olympics. Got a discount at the AirB&B at Tahoe City because a bear broke into the house the week before, ripping the front door off. People are using electric fences and electrified scat mats to keep the bears out of the houses.
This is the view from top of the Smuggler Mountain trail across the city valley. Between those peaks there is a (currently closed) road to Maroon Bells, beautiful mountain lake. I need to find some time to bike up there.
I'm with you. i let so much stuff go over the winter. Been keeping myself busy with things i should have been taking care of for the past year.
Pics are pretty cool though.
