Here are some skiing pictures from back in mid-March. They could have been today, April 22nd, however the ski area is closed. Shouldn't someone tell mother nature the season is over?
For our spring break we headed out to Joshua Tree National Park for some hiking and climbing. We managed to avoid another week of snow in Tahoe and found some really nice weather toward the end of the week. Here are some photos from the trip.
