Wow, what can I say. I like to take my time updating my blog. California was so sick! I never expected the mountains like the Sierra Nevada to be so f*ckin cool. There was no snow on Sacramento the morning we drove to Lake Tahoe and as soon as we hit 5,000 feet we could start to see more snow on the road and on the trees. And then more and more and more! We had to stop and buy chains in order to get there. They weren't really necessary; I just think that the highway patrol requests them to slow cars down. And then the guys who install them and take them off by the road blocks. Talk about a rip off! $30 bucks to install them and $20 TO TAKE THEM OFF. no THANKS... I’ll DO IT MYSELF...

The first DAY WAS NICE AND SUNNY. Dan (KAYBEEBANDITO) CALLED US ON OUR WAY TO Tahoe AND WE MET WITH HIM. He SHOWD US HIS NEW HOME MOUNTAIN AND TOOK US TO SOME GREAT VIEWS AND RUNS WERE THERE WAS STASHES OF FRESH POWDER. The TREE RUNS WERE AMAZING! 

Second DAY, WE STARTED A LITTLE LATE SINCE WE WERE SO TIRED FROM THE PAST DAYS. We STAYED MOSTLY ON THE Nevada SIDE AND AT THE END OF THE DAY WE DISCOVERED THE SMALL PARK BY THE California LODGE. Third DAY WE Stayed MOST OF THE DAY THERE AND WE BOOKED A CLASS AT THE END OF THE DAY FOR OUR LAST SESSION IN TAHOE.
Our INSTRUCTOR WAS THIS MATE FROM England, WALEY. Pretty COOL GUY. he HELPED US MASTERED OUR CROSS-UNDER TURNS AND SHOWED US THE ROPES ON THE HALF PIPE. He EVEN CONVINCED ME TO DO A BOARDSLIDE OFF THIS FUNBOX! So MUCH PROGRESSION!

We REALLY LIKED Lake Tahoe AND EXPECT TO GO BACK SOME DAY AND RIDE ANOTHER OF THE SEVERAL MOUNTAINS THAT THE AREA HAS TO OFFER.

Last day CALI WE WENT TO SAN FRANCISCO AND TOUR THE CITY. We saw pretty much everything.; Golden Gate, Alcatraz, Fisherman’s Wharf, etc.

 

I wish we could have mountains like California in the Midwest… You can snowboard in the morning and be back on the beach by unset to do some surfing! It’s an awesome state.
