Lake Tahoe - Dec 11 2004

Went to Sierra in South lake tahoe with Karan and Amit. Covered almost all the green slopes there, including Sugar N Spice, a 2.5 mile stretch.. felt really tired at the end of that!! This place really has all the green slopes one could wish for!

Heavenly - Nov. 2004

Left for tahoe on 25th Nov. reached at around Evening. Went to Harrahs to play Roulette for some time. Went to heavenly the next day.. took a level 3 skiing class, where we were taught bicycle peddling, right posture (hips inline with rest of body and legs against the shins of the boot!) and how to get ski's in parallel. To take a left turn, press right leg firmly agains the shin more than the left leg and try to get the other ski in parallel. Practiced for the rest of the time. Got stuck in the snow storm the next day... had to go back for lunch and chains. The snow was crazy. It took us 8 hrs to get back to the bay area.

Seattle, Mt Rainier- May 2004

We went to Mt Rainier, and ate at a nice cabin just below base camp. Its pretty beautiful out there. We also went to the Kirkland waterfront, and its pretty neat too. I just love the greenery in Seattle (reminds me of North Carolina), which is not to be found here. That said, I hate the speed limits, and the need to follow them :). I did not experience any rain, so I can't complain about that.
