Always nice to get out of town and come back to Tahoe...especially when it's now June, and coverage is PHAT! Not sure how intense the sun will actually change what's out there, but there is a lot of snow right now in the Sierra. Apparently is snowed most of May! Hope people are having fun!Powderjunky June 1, 2010
Glad to have you back! How was denali?Darkstar June 2, 2010
Denali was sweet. Super cold for sure, but an amazing experience unlike anything I've ever attempted to ski. However, unfortunately I was unable to get to the summit and ski off, but we made a good push to 18,200 and were able to ski pow from 15,400. Glad to be home warm and in one piece:)Dcapasso May 28, 2010
Great photos! Looks so good, spring08 flashback...dig the jib!Masontski May 24, 2010

Hey wiscokid- those are great photos of the elk mountains. Thanks for sharing!Dcapasso April 16, 2010
Powderjunky, I know skiing is for everybody. It takes years, if not decades to master. I couldn't help to notice some pics, some hommie from Willamette pass sent in of himself floundering...If I wanted to see flounder, I could usually go to the aquarium!Pnwpow1984 April 18, 2010
