Nancy getting some freshies, brah!
We finally got some snow in Tahoe, after a month and a half of nothing.
Chingus dives in.
We still haven’t gotten a huge dump, but the last few days produced enough snow to get back in the trees again.
Steve assessing the snow conditions.
Mark “Chingus” Standen came up with his buddy Steve from Reno. Steve hadn’t skied all year; he just lucked into coming here at the right time.
Chingus affirming Steve’s assessment.
We ended the day in an area we call “Pink Slip,” a slope of nicely spaced trees next to the Vista chairlift.
Nancy finds the snow agreeable.
The pitch follows a long ridgeline, so you can keep traversing out to get fresh tracks.
Seeing how much bark he can take off that tree.
It isn’t very steep, but it has lots of rollers and humps to pop off of, and enough obstacles to keep you focused.
Tele-Boy gets his turn.
Pink Slip doesn’t get much traffic, and it’s a lee slope, so the snow is usually as deep as anything else at Northstar.
Managing to hang for one more run.
If it were 2,000 feet long, it would be an epic run. However, it’s only a few hundred feet.
Finding a hump to pop over.
Es muy divertido, no?
Nice day, eh?
Sí, chica.
