Last weekend we made it up to lake Tahoe for the weekend.  There is no fecking snow though!!!  One small run was open at Boreal, so we played there for a bit.  Lots of rails and jibs out, so naturally I took a nasty couple of spills, including one to the nogging.  Apparently it could knock some sense in to me!

We spent the night in a little hotel in South Lake Tahoe.  It was cheap and clean!  We also found a dive bar and a couple of randoms who we drank the night away with.  Much fun!

We decided not to ride on the Sunday, due to hang overs and not much snow.... instead we mooched about the shops and stuff.  Was a very pleasant day!  The drive back was 3.5 hours and we were tucked up in bed by 9:30pm.

I think Smurf still has pain in her abductors....  Personally I have a pain in the neck! (bad pun, but true!)

It is 50/50 as to whether there will be good snow at the weekend, but we will still go up for our 2 night stay, it is a nice place to hang out and we have plenty to do there.

It is here! We have snow. Well, there is a light dusting of stuff around and about....Tomorrow we are off to Boreal to ride the park in the sunshine, nothing wrong with riding a rainbow rail in a hoody. We are taking the new video camera, so we should have youtube foot-age a plenty!

Sunday we will trek over to ride Mt Rose, again mainly parky thingys out :) Then we have a timeshare thingy, we just want the free night they promised us..... Expect a full review on that session.

We are all packed up in our new bags with our new trousers and jackets and gloves and goggles and cannot wait to get up their.

Piccies and video to follow next week(ish).

Just in case - Happy Thanksgiving :)

As the winter sets in in California (it is below 20deg C...) we are preparing for the snow :) Heavenly reckons it will be open on the 21st November. We found a roach hotel for $56 for the night :) SWEEEEEEEETTT!!!

So we will be up the hill playing the snow :)

To help capture those moments up the hill, we have invested in a video camera :) We decided to go for a low end one as I will be carrying it for most of the time.... Not sure if this is a good idea or not. I need to carry out some tests on the camera tomorrow and we will see from there.

mmmmmm


Snow :)
