Squaw Valley, Lake Tahoe, CA

Jessica and I are in north Lake Tahoe for a 3-day weekend in the snow. We’ve been staying at the River Ranch Lodge (our second weekend here), which is insanely convenient to get to Squaw, Truckee, or Tahoe City. Tahoe has just received 7 feet of snow and it doesn’t seem to be stopping any time soon. Some of these photos are from our trip two weeks ago. No joke – this storm makes it look like a completely different place from our last trip up.

Lauren (sister) and Kenny (brother-in-law) came down from Seattle, Adam came up from Irvine, and we all went (with Micah) to Tahoe for the weekend. Let’s just say it snowed:

Kirkwood has received over 14 FEET of NEW SNOW! The conditions are absolutely epic. The entire resort is wide open — the chutes, the bowls, the steeps, the cliffs, it’s all amazing. Here’s the breakdown; Storm One (2/8) 5.5 FEET; Storm Two (2/21) 2 FEET; Storm Three (2/25) 6.5 FEET!

It took 9 hours to get home on Sunday, 6 of which were spent traveling 4 miles. Good lord. Adam missed his flight but, on the bright side, had a chance to turn my Mercedes emblem into a snowman.
