you got a lot of new snow around Lake Tahoe

Good morning Peter.
Yes we got about 40 inches (~1 m) in 24 hours at our house. Some higher elevations are reporting over 9 feet ( ~3 m) in the same period. It appears we are experiencing the whole winter in one day!

Jealous of your skiing and watching the Olympics in person!!

We will shift the workshop from the basement to the RV for a month of skiing in Breckenridge CO in March. Until then I'll live vicariously through your photos and watching the skiing on TV!

Have fun and keep the tips up and bottoms down.

You have to wait until 2034: the Olympics in Utah, Salt Lake City!

Thanks for this post, Brad. It gives me a great deja-vu!
Over 30 years ago, seven friends and I did a 2000k bike tour on our road/race cycles through Colorado, Utah and Arizona, starting in Denver. Along the way, we passed through Brenckenridge, the only place on that tour with cycle paths.
On descents in the Rockies, we passed cars with the drivers yelling out there windows, "You're G..D.... Speeding."

Until then I'll live vicariously through your photos and watching the skiing on TV!

Have fun and keep the tips up and bottoms down.

2 more pictures for you and the other from our yesterday tour:
Through the ‘Stone City / Broken Mountain’ again, now with a clean sky:

And a view on the Sella-Massif:

Wish you the same amount of fun, snow and weather conditions as we have.
For now we got a lot of snow, hopefully we can drive home tomorrow……
Regards, Peter

Hi Peter,

Thanks, Maarten and Jim. With the new snow of today, the next week would be more than perfect. But the Admirals at home ……..
