After enjoying a month of summer time down south in Argentina– tele girl is back! It’s so exciting to see (and experience) the powder and new snow in Reno Tahoe! Yeah!!!

Since we got back, we’ve been out a couple of times and it’s been awesome! First we went to Thomas Creek with our 18 month old girl and had a blast.

But last Sat got even better. My friend asked if we wanted to go out on a date she would watch Cielo, so I said “how about Sat morning so we can go skiing?!” and she agreed. So we went up to the Tahoe Meadows and hiked up and teled down while snowing the entire time. It was like heaven! Even though I am pretty pregnant (due in 4 weeks) I love to get out and earn some curves!

Even though it seemed like there wasn’t enough snow, we decided to go for a few runs on Sunday – and we were amazed!! The snow was awesome!! You could see on the Mt Rose Ski Resort web cam that it was windy and maybe even miserable. But when we got there, we parked at the Summit and hiked up to a North facing slope, between the trees – and it was perfect.

Fresh power for the last ski trip!

Is skiing in April considered Spring skiing? Maybe not – especially when you get 9 inches of pow pow!

Last Saturday we went back up again and took turns skiing. We went to the "bend on the road" on Mt. Rose Highway, coming from Reno before you hit Mt. Rose Ski Resort. It was such a perfect blue bird day!

Back to base

Wow – it’s been a while since my last post. Tele girl is back — and now with almost 7-month old tele baby!

Over a week ago, on Saturday 2/17 my hubby and I decided to try backcountry skiing with Cielo for the first time. We had a blast! She loved the big girl backpack and we enjoyed the chance to get some tele turns in. We checked out the Meadows and the snow was better than we expected. This winter had been so slow… with little snow… but now that seems to have changed!

Are we ready daddy?

I’m having so much fun that I can just fall asleep while you guys ski

I like it when we take breaks – yay!

So you are wondering about this weekend, since it snowed non-stop. Well, we decided to go to the gym instead – not for lack of desire but trying to wait for the sunny powder days so Cielo can learn to love this — instead of wondering "why do you make me do this?" So hopefully you’ll see and hear more of us in the next couple of months.

Bring it on!
