Lake Tahoe, CA, Backcountry Report: 1 Ridiculously Long Powder Run Report from March 24, 2024 Yesterday we skied one ridiculously long powder run above Lake Tahoe, CA. Fox and I were exhausted.

Lake Tahoe, CA, Backcountry Report: Powder Returns! Report from March 23, 2024 Yesterday was Fox’s 1 year anniversary of his hip fracture. We went for a walk. Clouds and views were in and out.
