Tailgaters? Where?!

Location: Diamond Peak, Tickets from Costco 72$ for 2
Type of Snow: Soft and Fluffy 4-6 inches of it!
Tons of people at the resort: Nope
007 Action?: Mostly thats all we did
Weather condition: Blue Sky
Gear Used: Yellow Jacket, Fleece Shirt, backpack..
Road condition: Clear, Wet, Delilah is a bit muddy

Picked up Captain D and headed up to them thar hills!
It snowed all day saturday and most of sunday. I glanced at the road conditions and as of sunday, chains were required. uh oh! What a difference one day makes, a chain free blue sky drive.
We arrived and headed up, the snow was soft and very fluffy off-trail. So naturally that was our main goal, to ride in the powder as much as possible. It's been at least 4 years since we rode in the soft stuff. Mainly at the end of march, it's spring skiing with the hard packed groomed stuff. Not today!
It was pretty good riding. Both of us readjusted our bindings to where we can now go switch riding. Most excellent!
Lunch: I just wanted Chips with chili, but the guy hooked it up with cheese as well. Talk about turbo boosting!

Went to the Biltmore Hotel where their deal was buy one night get the second for free at 49$. We check in and the lady quotes 43$ fine by me!

DinDins: La Mexicana. Around Lake tahoe are highways 89 on the west, 50 on the east and 28 on the north side. In the town of Kings Beach you head one measly block up from the main route and somehow we were in the barrio. With all these latino doods staring at us as we entered this smallish market / eatery. I went all out with the larger hand sized $2.50 tacos. I consumed: Carne Asada, Al Pastor, Carnitas, Cabeza and Pescado.. Mmmm soo good. It must have been the sun + snow that made me devour such a meal!
