Obviously spring is here, and the skiing has been pretty good. There's been great turns to be had at Alpine Meadows and Squaw, but the backcountry is where its at. With the sun getting higher in the sky everyday the options for sun softened snow are really opening up. Between trips down to the east side I've been having fun skiing all over in the Tahoe BC. It was looking like the south side of Jakes was about to melt out for the season so my friend Oscar and I cruised out there for a couple laps yesterday. It is smooth, but going fast, so if you're stoked to get out for some spring backcountry, its a "the sooner the better" situation. Here's a shot from yesterday's mission, I know that any in-shape fifty year old could ski this, but I had fun anyway. Check out the crazy wind affect on the bay...
