I used to ski. I tried snowboarding last year and haven't looked back. We've had great amounts of snow this year and I had the pleasure of meeting my brother in Tahoe for a week of spring snowplay. Day one: Heavenly. Great views, horrible conditions. Windy and slushy with most of the mountain shut down. Day two: Northstar, great place, totally protected from the predicted windstorms. Day three: Squaw Valley was perfect! Day four: Stopped at June Mountain on the way back to Vegas. WOW! I love that place!

Wow, Lake Tahoe!

I can't believe how beautiful this place is!

The views were heavenly, the boarding was NOT!

Squaw was perfect!

One day I'll be really good. Today I was happy to have some nice runs and not fall down while getting off the lifts..

Is this place great or what?! (Squaw)

Making a plan of attack on June Mountain.

It snowed most of the day, perfect spring boarding conditions!

Goodbye for now California mountains...

...back to the desert.
