Ski season has started
After a snowless November, the mountains around Lake Tahoe are now covered with a thin layer of snow.
I skied in Squaw Valley on Sunday. There are just 2 real runs open (Shirley Lake and Siberia), and the snow on these runs is actually pretty good. I guess "packed powder" is a good description of the conditions.
We definitely need a big dump of snow before it will look anything like last's years conditions, when there was more than 6 feet of snow already at this time of the year.
At the end of this week I am off to Europe. The snow conditions in the Alps are mixed at the moment. Looking forward to do hit the slopes with my buddies back home!
