Last weekend's snowfall bonded well to the hard pack here in Tahoe resulting in stellar conditions right in our own backyard. After dropping a line with Kip Garre skier's left through the Cross on Monday morning, I returned with South Lake ripper Sean Havastar for an all out pistol fest in the same zone. Despite a kickin' East wind, conditions remained all time. The Tahoe area's ability to transform overnight into a magical powder playground, once again reminds us why we live here.
