Las year on January 5th I was skiing bottomless powder behind my house here in Alpine Meadows and it had already snowed 23 feet! Check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiMfWGZmxtE&list=UUmpkf9MXz_vZ9v438IpkJdA&index=9&feature=plcp
This year on January 5th, (today) I did this:

| I love how calm and clear Lake Tahoe is in the winter... |

It was an amazing paddle and it was so nice to have a little taste of summer right in the middle of the winter and in the middle of my competition season! Every time I come back to Tahoe and spend some time in the mountains I feel envigorated and alive and re-freshed which is exactly what I need to get me fired up for the next trip with the US ski Team. This next trip is a big one. I leave Saturday and will be headed to Wengen, Switzerland. Then it is off to Kitzbuhel Austria, Chamonix France, Garmisch Germany, Sochi Russia, Kvitfjell Norway, Quebec Canada, and then back to Tahoe again on March 22nd! I am 100% confident that we will have snow. For good measure and to make sure of that we decided to jump in the lake!!!!!
Jim took some nice photos- I wish I was there but then, you guys would have made me jump into the lake:)
