Happy Chinese New Years to All!!
4712 – Year of the Wood Sheep
May the new year bring good health and prosperity to all, and MORE SNOW!!
Most of our club’s membership just spent a great week in Jackson Hole where we found abundant snow. Despite the fact that we missed a big snow dump by a few days, there was plenty of the white stuff and certainly much more snow than Tahoe has.
DON”T GIVE UP HOPE for TAHOE!! As I write these stream of consciousness babblings, the snow gods are gracing our Tahoe slopes with new snow with Northstar reporting 3 inches of new in the past 24 hours and 13 inches in the past 48 hours (as of Feb 8). More snow is expected to fall tomorrow in the Sierras – so there’s hope yet.
Jackson Hole 2015
Did someone mention Jackson Hole?
Thanks to Armand, I had a BLAST!!! As I’m sure you did too! What more could you want? Plenty of snow, great variety of terrain from mild to heart stopping, huge verticals, cloud layers, inversion layers, a dusting of fresh snow, moose (mooses? meece?), good food, elk, dog sled racing, ice skating, cowboy bars and incredible company!!! I only regret that with such a large group, I didn’t get to meet all of you.

Do you have Walter Mitty dreams of being a ski racer?
Will you be the next Lindsey Vonn?
Well, your dreams and aspirations can come true!!! Our very own Sandy “Lindsey” Kiyomura is a veteran racer, at times reaching speeds faster than a speeding bullet!
Lindsey, I mean, Sandy, describes how you can be all you can be in her article here: “Open League Racing“.
And LAST but NOT LEAST, we had Jackson Hole ENGAGEMENT!!! Wes Lum from Hawaii proposed to Mariana Guerrero of Mexico! Talk about a Loooong Distance romance!
