Skiing
We had a great time skiing up at Tahoe (Sierra-at-Tahoe, Heavenly) last weekend. It was kind of a blizzard so the camera didn’t make it out of the jacket pocket.

Chris and I went skiing on Monday. It was a “blue-bird day,” but very cold — a forecasted high of 9 degrees.

We’ve got a week to explore the country before rendezvous-ing with dad in Bariloche for some August Patagonian skiing.
