Taxman & Vet's Fabulous`Adventure

[Vet]

Poor taxi flew Qantas and I went on UA. UA is marvellous. The movies were all in French but after they plied me with Bourbon & Cokes je can parle vous francais pretty bon.

UA gave every one in cattle class a bed too and exit rows.

We arrived around noon. After at least 5 hours driving with chains at 30mph, we made it to Tahoe Vista. It's snowing heaps in Nth California. [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img]

The Aust wines are cheaper here than in my local Safeway. Taxi is too sozzled to file a trip report.

We're tee'd up for presenting a boomerang and cuttng a ribbon on Wednesday to open a run. Looks great outside. Can't wait til the morning, a Berrocca.

Ah Vet, I just left Tahoe. Didn't ski there and wanted to stay longer but didn't want to take the chance I would get caught up there with the big snow event happening. They reckon the I-80 around the Truckee area was going to be pretty tricky to negotiate and Hwy 50 was going to be impassable.

Wish I was up there. Rained heaps along the California coast.

Well Vet's crashed and burned and I'm still up (and working!!!!).

Chunky, Truckee area wasn't too bad, but the snow and visibility was quite bad around Donner Pass. Vet drove and I navigated (well I set the GPS). In reality the 190 miles from SF to Tahoe took 6 hours.... stuffed now, but looking forward to Northstar tomorrow.

Yesterday was Northstar. It didn't grab either of us as a place to bother returning to. And that's with 50% off lift tix'.

We've just come back from Squaw Valley. According to the local news, 2" per hour was falling. Most of the mtn was closed so we were on this waist deep stuff on blue runs. Taxi was on new fangled phat Blizzards and, omg, he was faster than me. So I got my mojo back baby on some Head Mojos, and liked them.. Taxi's turning into a hoon.

We will upload pics later.

I had a biiig stack today. I'll upload the pics of Vet and I in the Dewfest. 16th place in the try outs wasn't bad. And then I woke up.

I wanna see what I missed out on.

[Taxman]

You missed out on freeskiing.Coming with us are some pals from snowbomb who have cheap tickets too. (And this week at Kirkwood is $44 tix). Hopefully we booked blue skies - the weather forecast is looking nice too.

The dumps are awesome.
