Tahoe Pics
Photos from our Lake Tahoe trip in late December. We spent the entire time in downtown South Lake Tahoe, a fun, if over-touristed, place to visit. Christy and I took a few days to bum around town with our dogs before Boyne came in for a visit from San Jose, then he and I went skiing at Heavenly while Christy hung out at the Tahoe Marriott's day spa. We chose Heavenly as a matter of convenience, since the ski resort's gondola stretches right down into the middle of town, but I'm glad we did because it's also a great place to ski.This is very near the highest summit at Heavenly ski resort. That's the lake there in the background (click pics for a larger version).
This is me roughly 10 seconds later, after falling over backwards down the hill.
Boyne stands at the edge of a steep drop. Heavenly is unique in that its ski terrain is divided almost equally across both California and Nevada. That's Nevada there in the background, with all the dirt.
At the state line between California and Nevada, elevation appx. 10,000 ft.
Christy and the dogs down by the lake. Christy's cringing here because the wind whipping off of the lake is incredibly goddamn cold. As soon as this photo was taken, all four of us were running to the far side of the nearest cabin for shelter.
A shot of Maya wearing the goofy booties Christy insisted I get for her at the dog boutique. The snow was unseasonably light during the entire trip, evident here. Amazingly, the entire time we were in Tahoe the daytime temperature never dropped below 38 degrees.
