Tahoe Quick Boarding Trip

Met up with John Knoke and his girlfriend Shawna for a quick two day trip to Tahoe. Weather was unreal, snow was great, and we had a blast up there....Got pretty toasty. The first day we spent at Kirkwood and the second day we spent at Heavenly. Prices were outrageous due to presidents day weekend but well worth the trip up....We managed to avoid much of the crowds by staying high and at heavenly starting at the Nevada side..Full groomed snow, almost nobody up there for two hours...The black diamonds that were groomed were fun, but there were more blues groomed. Threw in a few pictures of the kids that I had on my camera phone here too. I really missed Cheryl and the kids and they were pretty sick while I was gone but I'm back and hopefully everyone will be better soon.

Side note: John Knoke hasn't snowboarded in 3 or 4 years and was flying down the mountain and tearing it up. My favorite run was this huge ditch that was about 8 or 10 feet high..it had some bumps but it was like surfing an uneven but super fun halfpipe that went 200 yards...John went there too but wasn't as stoked as I since he hadn't been out as recently as I had...If I were there for a week I would have loved to have hit every ditch/ravine/bowl that we could find..Especially with better snow...John's still there..And I'm jealous! To mine (and John's surprise) both of us fell minimally...I only fell once the same time as John did about 20 feet from the lift....It was pretty funny (after the fact) and I'm glad I didn't fall on any heavy runs...That hurts!
