1> feb 6+7

we left marin at 10am sunday, got to squaw valley at 2,
paid $35 each to do the afternoon session on reddog + exhibition,
then the night session ridding the gondola up and riding the lighted
freeway all the way down. conditions were magic: clear and cold, no wind,
no crowds, firm groomed runs with a little dust on top.

monday went to alpine, same conditions: clear, cold, no crowd, great snow.

2> feb 14+15

left marin 2:30pm monday, chained up near rainbow lodge, just a few miles
from donner summit. heavy precip. pulled into boreal at 6 to check it
out. night skiing in operation, but low visibility. hard core conditions.
we passed, proceeded to holiday inn truckee and checked in, walked across
the street for dinner.

tues morning is clear, 6" of powder in the parking lot!
we proceed to northstar for an epic powder day. lots of untracked freshies!

I shot video on both these trips. riding behind friends while shooting
gets great stuff!
