Sunday,
March 23rd - Friday, March 28th, 2003:
We skied at Heavenly in Lake
Tahoe, CA this year, staying at Caesar's in Lake Tahoe,
NV. If you weren't aware, you can cross the street
to travel from Nevada to California on the main strip
there.
Lake
Tahoe is gorgeous! Much prettier in scenery than Colorado,
but of course, the powder isn't as nice. This won't
be our last trip to Tahoe...we may even move there
someday!

of photographs below and click on each photo for a

We flew into Reno, NV and stayed
for the night at The Hilton beside the airport. The
next morning, we drove over the pass through Incline
Village to Lake Tahoe and were so awestruck by the
beauty that we took these shots along the way.

We skied Heavenly on Tuesday
but it rained Wednesday and only two lifts were open,
so we had to find something else to do. We thought
about heading to San Francisco, but it's a three hour
drive, so we would have had to turn right back around
and leave as soon as we got there. Instead, we drove
to Placerville through Highway 50 on the way to Sacramento
where we had a beer at The Hanging Tree, which was
a bar built on the spot where a tree once stood where
outlaws were hanged. We toured the town a little then
left and drove down Highway 49 to Coloma, CA, where
a sawmill stands where the actual first gold flake
was discovered, beginning the California Gold Rush.
For $3 you can tour the town of Coloma, CA, which
is set up with old buildings and artifacts dating
back to the Gold Rush.

We skied Maggie's Run at Heavenly
Lake Tahoe, pretty much all day Thursday and had a
great time. It was a nice blue run with semi-decent
snow and a gorgeous view of Lake Tahoe on the lifts
and at the top of the run. Bonus: I didn't get hurt
this time! :D
