Here's wishing everyone all my best and happiness in 2008.
After two weeks of relaxation with friends and family, it's time to get back to reality. Xmas in California is top notch, we lack our 4 seasons here, but few other places can you be skiing one day and trail running in shorts the next. I had 8 days on the slopes either on xc or downhill skis, and with 10 ft of new snow in parts of the Sierra, it's time to head back up this weekend.
Squaw was the venue for downhill, and most of the xc was at the very formidable terrain at Tahoe Donner. Click on the two video's on this link...both under the theme of "who needs a lift when you have skinny frictionless skis to get you up there?" TD has a 1200 ft ascent/descent.
