A little experiment
aerynne and I are trying an experiment this year: We scheduled this week off for skiing, but didn't decide where we were going until Thursday night. The general idea was that with really really short notice we could go to where the snow not only already was, but was predicted to be over the next week.

So it turns out, after briefly flirting with Norway (and the Norwegians, oh, the Norwegians!), that we're now in Lake Tahoe as we have been so many times before. But this time it's all based on meteorological science 'n marshmallow fluff.

I can't say that I've convinced myself that the weather is actually as predictible as we need it to be, but at the moment I'm sitting in an easy chair between a fire and glass of wine, the snow is pouring down outside, and aerynne, her brain still in the eastern time zone, has at 9 pm fallen asleep for the third time today. I have exceedingly high hopes that we'll arise before the dawn and make it out for first tracks, and they'll be in back bowls on deep fresh powder.
