This season has been the worst season for snowfall in Tahoe since the winter of 76/77 so we haven’t been getting as much skiing in as normal. November, December, and January were much below average snowfall and it didn’t really start snowing until mid February when we had a couple of huge snowfalls and …

Every year for the past 10-years we have made a trip to Park City, UT for up to a week-long stay. We purchased a timeshare right at the bottom of The Canyons ski resort in 2003, which was the year after the winter olympics were held in Utah. There are so many fantastic resorts in …
After skiing 3 days in Tahoe before and on Christmas day with family, we sent the dogs back with the kids and drove to Jackson, WY as the first leg of a 3 resort trip. It’s about a 750 mile drive from South Lake Tahoe to Jackson, so it’s a full day. We were excited …
We didn’t make it up over Thanksgiving this year due to family stuff in the Bay Area so this weekend was our first skiing of the season. Luckily we hit pay dirt with the first day being a big snow day. We ended up with about 20″ at the house, and 30″ at the top …

I just kept traversing farther and farther over each run so I was able to get sections of untouched powder all day. It was fairly warm, but surprisingly skiable even with …
This was supposed to be a post about our new review of Snowbird, but AiRung never made it there. We were skiing at the Canyons on Friday, March 1 when this happened: We were skiing the double-black north bowl area of 9990 when we came to a very steep, narrow slot through some trees. it …
Skied Heavenly on Feb 23-24 with our friend Bria. She is from Australia and loves skiing Tahoe and the Bay Area. Her husband Tyler was taking an Avalanche 1 course at Kirkwood. We plan to do some backcountry skiing if it ever snows again. After an incredible start to the season, in the past 2 …
The list is ready, the snow is ready, and we will be checking-in at a new resort in Utah in a little over a week when we visit Park City. In the mean time I’m going through the list of resorts that we have already skied together and putting together reviews. The first 2 are …
