Over the past three days, my family and I stayed in South Lake Tahoe. We were planning to go skiing. With the recent storms in the western U.S., however, skiing was impossible in the gusts of wind reaching 90 MPH at the peak of the mountain. We stayed at The Ridge Tahoe Resort with another family. Pretty much stuck inside, we nonetheless found plenty of things to do. The resort had ping pong and pool tables, as well as an exciting indoor/outdoor swimming pool and spa. Sitting in the heated spa out in the snow was a fun experience. Occasionally we went outside and played in the snow but we weren’t able to actually go skiing.
On the third day it was nice and sunny but Heavenly (the ski park) was closed because of an avalanche hazard. [hot] Oh well.
When we drove back it was a complete disaster. Hoping to get home early in the afternoon, left at 10 AM. However, for the first five hours or so traffic was completely stopped because some of US-50 was closed.
Stuck in traffic
We got back home later that day, at around 7 PM. Although we were tired, we still had enough energy to celebrate 2005. Happy New Year, and I hope you’ve had some very happy holidays!
Happy Holidays!
