Friday was the first day of Spring and headed up the mountain to Tahoe for one last hurrah.  On Saturday morning, we drove to Northstar and found lots of dirt, no snow on the road, and sunny skies.  In the parking lot, we contemplated turning around and going back to the cabin but luckily we stuck with the original plan.  We bought half-day tickets, had lunch at the bar, and headed up the mountain at noon.  The trees were all green and there were dirt patches everywhere but by 1 pm, it started to snow snow snow!  Woohoo!

There was just enough slush from the morning and new powder on the ground to make it an awesome afternoon on the slopes. That’s Victor and Susie riding the wide-open runs.

On Saturday night and Sunday morning, it dumped about 1-2 feet of snow.  Check out the photo I took on Saturday afternoon and then on Sunday morning.  Wow!!!  Koa also got to play in the snow and seemed almost confused by all the white stuff.

Our drive home was a little nerve-racking but we managed to get past chain control without having to put chains on and without an accident.  This is what it looked like from the road.  All this was green only 12 hours ago!

The cabin we rented in Tahoe City was pretty awesome.  For $150/night, we got a 3-bedroom, 2-bath, two-story house with all the modern conveniences and SO MUCH SPACE!  I’m tempted to book the house again for a summer trip.

I thought my snow season was over but this weekend proved me wrong.  I wonder how much flights are to Utah right now…
