The fall rains turned to some high country snow and it seems many in Tahoe were ready and waiting. Our group left the trail head just after dawn and enjoyed a beautiful sunrise. Coverage was low but spirits were high and we made good time to the top. I was impressed with how well the snow skied. Slightly dense wind-buffed powder with an icy ground-crust base beneath that made for smooth and fast skiing. There was surprisingly little sounds of scraping rocks or core shots (don’t get me wrong; there were plenty – just not nearly as many as expected!) All in all, I was pumped. I mean, we got to rip some wide open powder turns this Halloween!
Skiing felt so good today. I really needed that. Happy Halloween!

Stunning! Still waiting for snow here in Europe
