2012-2013 ski season has come to an official end after the lifts at Alpine Meadows stopped spinning this weekend.  The weather was warm, the snow was soft, the band was playing, and everyone was feeling nostagic.  It was more about friendship and a sense of comminity rather than about skiing (although some areas still skied suprisingly well).  Here is a short video of my very last Squaw/Alpine run for this season.  Enjoy, have a great summer, and we will see you back in time for the 2013-2014 season.   » read more

Heavy dust on crust. The first decent storm to reach Tahoe in several weeks didn't deliver nearly as much as expected, but 6 inches of fresh snow made for a few fun days of skiing despite the persistent icy bumps just beneath the surface. Filmed on February 19th & 20th, 2013 at Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows. » read more
