Our first ski trip was a success! We had a great time at Heavenly this past weekend. The kids all did a full day of ski school, and Paul and I took a refresher lesson.
We had to leave early on Monday and cancel our lessons as a big storm was rolling in. We got out before the 3 feet of snow hit the mountain! They had already closed many sections of the mountain by 8am when we were checking in, due to the 100mph winds at the top!
Sorry, no pictures as it was snowing the whole time. But will definitely do better at pics this weekend when we spend this day at Soda Springs.
The biggest downside to driving to Tahoe is traffic - and chain control! We had to put chains on the car on Hwy 50 heading into South Tahoe. (And then take them back off after the summit). Messy, dirty work, and the lines backup ahead of chain control.
