Skiing on Super Bowl Sunday

I just can't believe its already February. What happened to January?

Daryl took a quick trip home last week and went snowboarding with a friend. I was so jealous, that I decided to take a quick drive this weekend to Lake Tahoe and Ski for a couple of days, Super Bowl Sunday included. Although the snow is only so-so, the weather is magnificent. 40-45 degree temperatures, sunny and clear. Many of you know that I broke my ankle snowbaording last year, so for my first time out, I put on ski's instead. Not really sure why, but just felt more comfortable. 

I spent Super Bowl Sunday on the slope, it was amazing and I returned to the cabin just in time to watch a pretty exciting game. Too bad Arizona lost, but they played a great game and they have nothing to be ashamed of.

I ski at a smaller resort called Homewood Mountain Resort. Its right on the lake and even though its a bit smaller, it generally means fewer crowds and more importantly, it has the best views you can imagine. You feel like you are skiing right in to the lake- its just amazing Here are a few pictures just to give you a sampling taken by my skiing buddy, Nicki.
