Sorry for the bad pic. I shoulda brought the digi-cam and the helmet cam.
Weather Conditions at Homewood: 2/3 Patchy but Fluffy Clouded Blue Sky, Green Trees (Some dusted with snow), Snow All Over (Mostly), Ambiant temp: 40 degrees, but it was sunny, it felt pretty warm actually ..
Snow at Homewood: Good sugary snow, some parts still have exposed rock n bush branches popping out!
Bust out the Cold weather gear and the Palmer, it's time to hit da slopes. An old coworker, Mr. Huntoon picked me up and off we went to Homewood. I like homewood alot, it's a little bigger than Donner Ski Ranch. But it's mainly for Intermediate / advanced riders. And the best part is the crazy view of the WHOLE lake tahoe from the top. It's absolutely beautiful when your on the topmost run, and when you cut around this treeline all you see is beautiful blue lake. A Gondola ticket at Heavenly (across the pond, heh) no lift, nada is 30$. Mon-Thurs at Homewood lift ticket 37$. Fri-Sun = 45$. Eat at Rosies Cafe and get tickets for 40$. Works for us! We get there and we were the first row of cars against the ski lift. At the end of the day the lot was about half full (half empty?)
Being that it's the first ride of the day, normally it kicks our ass. And about 2:30pm that began to take effect. We rode some simple runs. One run is called the Lombard Street, and it's a bunch of switchback zigzags. It's the only 'easiest way down' to the lodge. Anyhow the last time we took the run a guy must have either 1)gone waaaay too fast at a switchback and slammed into a tree, off the path or 2)gone waaay too fast and slid n slipped onto such tree. Skii patrol came and we thought it was bad when the Ambulance arrived, what got worse was when the lifeline helicopter arrived when we were changing. I hope that guys gonna be alright.
Ate dindins at Ikeda's. Picked up some Lemonade, 1$ a bottle of this Santa Cruz Organic stuff, which sells at Albertsons / Safeway for $4.50. Got home about 7:30pm.
I think i'm going to feel it tommorrow.. The burn! Feel the burn!
