oddly, if it wasn't what I had guessed, I was thinking the Sierra's. The trees, dark colored rocks and sierra cement looking snow had me thinking perhaps it was out there.


When did you to Alpine? What did you think? Tahoe is high on my list of ski vacay destinations.....

i was there March 2007. LOVED IT!! i was on business in SF area and drove up to tahoe for 1 night. Got there early enough to night ski @ Squaw. The mountain was incredible but the skiing stunk. the spring slush froze up and there was no fun to be had. They basically open 1 trail from the tram station.

Next day I was at Alpine Meadows @ 8 AM. skied pretty much non-stop until they closed. it was a phenomenal day. I'd go back there in a second. Drove to Sacramento and took a red-eye home.

Stayed in a cheap but clean hotel in Truckee. they were nice enough to let me come back at the end of day (after checkout) to take a shower before heading home.

I need to get a copy of my work wallpaper, but it's a collage of Jennifer Heil, Outer Limits, Johnny Moseley, and Dale Begg Smith.

Not skiing related, but I think pretty cool still, is my wallpaper at home:

I have the same pictures of my kids on both home and work computer. The only problem is that I hardly ever see it since I have a bunch of windows open all the time. Last night when I saw this thread I had to minimize a few to remind myself of what my desktop was....

the irony is my new desktop (that first picture) is poached from a place known for poor grooming, one of your favorite mountains i think.

I wouldn't say their grooming is poor, they just choose not to excessively groom everything. Their groomed terrain is actually quite good, if that's your thing. When I was last there they were grooming a bunch of the trails in anticipation of a big weekend starting the next day. Hitting the fresh cord on the runouts back to the lift was very nice.
