Well it has been snowing all weekend. This morning I woke up to bluebird skys and had to hit the slopes. I was able to put in 4 1/2 hours before my legs said enough. I guess that’s what happens after skiing 4 days out of the past 5. Here are more photos from today’s [...]

I drove up to Tahoe last night, the storm turned out to be hanging over Echo Summit. I got stuck on HWY 50 for about 2 hours waiting for the guys to perform some avalanche safety. Meaning they were blasting out the snow on the pass, so I just chilled in my car and too [...]

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 [...]

Chris and I went back out on the mountain today for about 3 hours. We pretty much spent the whole time on the Stagecoach chair run. It’s a decent mogul run; but according to Chris it isn’t that hard. I have never enjoyed skiing moguls and pretty much have done all I can to avoid [...]

I drove up to Tahoe the other night to hang out with Christopher. Last night was spent drinking beer and hacking on a side project we have been working on together. More about that in later posts… But right now, we are headed out to spend some time on the slopes. Snow has been coming [...]

I finally got around to purchasing my season pass to Heavenly. I’m pretty sure their sales this year are hurting. The nice weather in the Bay Area has us thinking it’s still August. To boost the sales this year, they are running a ton of lame adds on the radio trying to get people out [...]

Nicole and I decided to take a 3 day weekend up in Tahoe to enjoy what the past week or so of rain in San Francisco has brought us in the mountains. I have to say for the end of March there is still a ton of snow left to ski. We didn’t make it [...]
