Lake Tahoe

Lake Tahoe
Originally uploaded by roijoyWe went skiing in Tahoe this weekend. The weather was absolutely amazing. The snow was perfect and there was no wind. We skied at Heavenly. It was quite strange to be up on the mountain and look toward California and see snow then look over to Nevada and see desert!

The skiing was actually fairly relaxed and we managed to get quite a few really enjoyable runs in.
We met someone on one of the lifts who during a conversation reminded us that in the UK you have to ski on astro-slopes. After powder like this, it wouldn't even be a consideration anymore!!

Afterward we drove up to the North Lake, stopping to take in some views along a short trail around the Emerald Bay.
