Lake Tahoe is a year-round resort town, with skiing, snowboarding, and other snow activities available through the Winter and into the Spring. The Summer and Fall seasons provide opportunities for hiking, biking, camping, fishing, paddling, swimming, and boating.

The lake is divided by the California and Nevada state border, so lodging can be found in either state, with casinos available on the Nevada side. Otherwise, accommodations and resorts are usually associated with either North Lake Tahoe or South Lake Tahoe.

Located on the south end of Lake Tahoe, Heavenly Mountain Resort rises 3,000 feet above the famous lake and spans across the California and Nevada state line. Heavenly has 4,800 acres of terrain, from wide-open cruisers to 1,000-foot chutes.

What a day in the Wasatch. 3 feet of snow in the last 3 days... And today, blue skies and fresh powder.

The avalanche danger was high in the upper elevations, so we stuck to our hidden gem spot in the wasatch foothills. The snow was easily waist deep, but it hasn't had time to consolidate so we hit a few rocks. No damage done. Just some mud on the ends of our ski poles.

We signed our names and checked out.

Is this a trick question? No, there's more depth to it. Why this philosophical challenge? I went skiing a Brighton, Utah a few days ago. I haven't skied there in over ten years. Just arriving in the parking lot brought pack a lot of old memories. It's seems like older you get, the more this nostalgic feeling grips you when you go places you've been before. I can't imagine what it will be like in twenty or thirty years. I guess that why old folks like to tell stories.

Back to the question. Why do you Ski? For the Feeling.
