I’ll be heading out for my first day on the slopes. This winter has not been all that great for skiing, in past years I would have had my pass payed for twice by now.

Anyway a storm came through Tahoe on Thursday and dropped around 16″ of snow. So there should be enough out there now to play in the trees a bit.

I’ll have my point and shoot on me today. Now I just have to remind myself to stop for a moment or two from the fun and take a few choice shots.

Now playing: Band of Horses – Monsters – Everything All The Time

Update: It was a super nice day out. Spending 6 hours on the mountain is just my idea of a great day. The lift lines were a bit crowded, but that’s to be expected when 1/4 of the mountain is still closed. I didn’t take the camera out until my last run, so the photos are sort of crappy. You can see how thin the snow cover is, just take a look at one my favorite tree line runs way too many exposed rocks to even think about heading down there… [more photos]
