Another Weekend, Another Ski Trip

Mark off two more days of skiing at Tahoe from this season’s books. Well, almost two days.

I spent this past Sunday and Monday up at Heavenly skiing, using up some of those pre-paid season pass days where I can. On Sunday the skiing was pretty good, temperature was in the 20’s, and the lifts weren’t too crowded. There was a base of about 8 feet of new snow since my last trip up, so it was pretty easy to ski.

On Monday everything changed, however. The temps dropped into the 10’s, visibility went to nearly zero, and the few people on the runs we saw were having a tough time keeping upright, thanks to high winds and no ability to see. The day was cut short due to the weather, but on the way down I found the California side of the mountain to be nearly clear of fog and wind. Wish I’d been on this side of the mountain all day!
