I've been in Lake Tahoe, CA since Thursday evening. It has been absolutely fantastic. While I started off the trip coming off a flu that had me in bed for 3 full days, this trip has seemed to cure me. I guess it is just the clean air and activity.
The weather as been amazing. As bad as the ski season in Washington has been, it is been that good in California. We started out with a big dump of powder the first day we were here, and since then it has been nothing but sun. Combined with the terrain here this sums to some amazing views and landscapes. Speaking of terrian, it is also spectacular. It took me a while to start finding my way around, as the beginners slopes are the rule around here, and there are no named runs, but there is some truly great terrain. Bumps, straights, race courses, trick parks, groomed, powder (if it hasn't been chewed), everything.
The only downsides have been the village, which is pretty devoid of any sort of nightlife or truly excellent resturants (the pizza place seems to be the best resturant in town) and the expense of everything ($12 for a burger fries and coke, and it wasn't that good).
All in all though, I highly recommend it.
