First Weekend in Tahoe City!

Tahoe City is located in North Lake Tahoe. The lake twinkles under the snowy mountains and provides views that are a great reward after a 3 hour drive from San Francisco. Our house is located right across the street from the lake, and you can get a glimpse of it from the living room. Only 2 other people stayed at the cabin that weekend, so it was very quiet. Decorated in the finest carpet and furniture that 1970 had to offer, the cabin is  cozy and warm, with a wooden sunken hot tub that looks like a witch's brew. But it's cute.

My roomate and I drove up for the weekend and spent both days snowboarding at Alpine Meadows Resort. Although the snow wasn't fresh powder, it was softened under the warm sun, so it wasn't too bad to fall on. I'm hoping for a very snowy season, but no snow on the weekends so the roads to and from are nice and dry.

At night, we explored Tahoe City for a place to eat dinner, but chose to buy food at a market to make at home instead. On Sunday we drove home with two more days off snowboarding to add to this season's tally. Traffic on the ride home was the only down side. There was a lot of traffic due to an accident and we were next to an oil tank truck for about a half hour while I tried to get photos of the message on the tank: Odorized, Liquefied, Petroleum Gas. Yikes.
