Spring Break!

It’s spring break and we’re up at our Tahoe at our cabin. The week has been awesome! Last weekend and into early this week the weather was clear and warm. Spring conditions prevailed in true Tahoe style. We toured around Donner Peak and Mt. Judah and made some super sweet turns in the Judah bowls and The Lake Run (with Petey!). We also spent a great day out at Rose Knob Peak where we toured into the back bowls. Conditions were perfect corn for all these tours. The snowpack was well consolidated so the uphill travel was quick and easy and the the turns were buttery and smooth!

In the last few days the weather has changed quite dramatically. Two storm systems have moved in and brought more than two feet of new snow. We have been riding resorts during the storms. Yesterday at Alpine we had a blast riding in light, fluffy powder in a nearly empty resort. It was so good that we didn’t want to stop so we rode pretty much all day long. Today we are headed to Squaw for what I’m sure will be another awesome day of powder. This morning our cars were buried, the powder horn blared and the storm was still dumping snow!

Tonight the YaySnoW crew should all be arriving which will make for lots more good times, indeed. The weekend forecast is for the sun to come out. All the fresh snow and a little sun should make for a fantastic weekend of touring. We’re contemplating peaks on the West Shore or who knows. It is a fine spring break we’re having up here!
