Hello skiers,
The sun is rising flooding our snow covered mountains with bright light this morning. Overnight temperatures were in the low thirties for the third day in a row bringing the expectation of another good day of spring skiing at Alpine. The Sherwood Chair has been operating during the morning hours. Skiing remains good with a nice layer of corn to slide over beginning between 8:30 and 9.
May 3rd was a friend’s 50th birthday. We decided to try and taste as many sports as we could during the daylight hours. The final result was not too impressive, but it will give you an idea of the many opportunities for play in our area at this time of year. We switched from our alpine downhill gear to our telemark gear half way through the morning ski events. Just before noon I switched again taking a run on my snowboard. After lunch we spent an hour paddling kayaks in Lake Tahoe. With time running short, our next event was golf, but this was just an opportunity to hit a bucket of balls at the driving range in Brockway (the nine hole course is open for business). Before dark we changed outfits one more time and rode bikes through the neighborhood. Many people consider this time of year a non-event in Tahoe, as the season is changing and many sports are put on hold until the snow melts in the upper elevations, or the ground dries up, however opportunities abound if you hunt for them.
As long as the sun is out, and we can enjoy a little spring skiing, and wear a short sleeve shirt during the day life cannot be too bad.
Enjoy your day. Andy
