Went snowshoeing a little over a week ago but I am just now getting a chance to post a couple of the pics. The snow was perfect once we got above the Tahoe Lake level. The higher we got the lighter and deeper the snow got. Makes one heck of a workout. The hike started in Tahoe City and followed the Rim Trail up to the start of Paige Meadows near Alpine Meadows Ski Resort. We were the first to break through the new snow at the top and it was slow going but a lot of fun. The storm had just broken and the weather was just a mix of clouds and sun that kept us guessing to if we were going to be cold or too hot the whole time. One the way back down we passed a couple small groups that looked like they were dying on there way to the top. It was kind of funny as they weren't a third of the way up the climb and were following the trail we had already broken for them. They had a long way to go and not a lot of daylight left. On the way back we stopped at Baskin Robbins 31 Flavors and Alex and I tried to eat enough ice cream for 3 people. But oh was it good. Here's some pics of Alex and I, Debra and I, and some trail stuff. The ducks didn't want to cooperate for the photo and hid their heads.

So did all the snow melt up there after this warm storm? Was 60 here today and windy as heck. Temps have been totally above normal lately. The whole basin is pretty muddy.
Nope, lots and lots of snow! Four feet of fresh powder and it was awesome!
Was surfing the net loking for some eskimo dolls and I came upon your site and I was impressed by the quality of content you have. Keep up the awesome job. I will be bookmarking you right now.
Thanks, I try. At least as far as picture posts. Not much on putting in a lot of words.
