the inspector

THE INSPECTOR

did you know that I am the self appointed snow inspector for Nevada, Sierra, Placer, Yuba, Shasta, lassen and Plumas counties. its true. Duty called today, there was 6 feet of new snow so I had no choice but to tear myself away from work to go inspect. Its something I just have to do.......I pulled the Rossignol F2 Xium skate ski from my quiver and headed up the hill. As I left my shop I heard my Backcountry skis whining at me a little when i did not choose them for todays work.

Castle Peak from the Sattelite trail

Castle peak seemed to be doing just fine...looking like it was waiting for some turns to tickle its frontside.......

DEVILS PEAK

I think Devils peak was pleased with its new blanket of snow...the summer like sun we had was starting to get to the peak too early for that much sun!

So all in all todays inspection passed with flying colors. The snow was very good and the views...well I am lucky to have seen them.
This weekend Hollie and I will be skiing inthe Great Ski Race. A 30km point to point route from Tahoe City, over brockway summit and down to Truckee. Its an awesome race and its only groomed once a year, so you have to do it!
We are also toying with the idea of riding a chairlift this weekend. Hollie on her snowboard and me on the skis...just to have some fun.
