On the Friday night before Super Bowl weekend, we headed up to Tahoe for a ski weekend. We had not been in a year, and both kids really wanted a chance to ski. On this trip, we rented 2 rooms in the
YSC Cabin on the west side of the Lake and decided to ski at
Homewood, where I had skied a lot as a kid.
Saturday morning we woke up to light snow. It was really lovely snow. We headed to Homewood, got our gear and then had a day of skiing. The snow was wonderful, just a few inches of powder, and the sun had come out by mid-day and melted all the snow on the car.
We headed back to the cabin, and Liam and I made brown butter cookies, and Arne shoveled snow off the deck. It was fun to meet the other people at the cabin. One group made a fire with Liam, and then we played Yahtzee. One of the guys there was on the same hike that Arne and I met on almost 15 years ago!
Sunday morning was beautiful, and we headed back to Homewood for a great day on the mountain.
One of the things I love about this mountain, besides the lack of lines, was that every run had an amazing view of Big Blue - Lake Tahoe.
After a long morning of skiing and a lunch of crepes, Elsa and I headed back on the mountain for more runs. It was fun to tear up the mountain with her, and find a few fun jumps.
What a wonderful winter treat!
