Drew lives in South Lake and was able to meet up with us at Squaw Valley. I'm glad he did because he charges and we got some great shots. 
Wallner has been trying to get me up to Squaw all season and I'm bummed it took so long. I have been fantasizing about terrain like that at a resort for a long time. I can't wait for the next POW day. Why it took me nearly five years living in Sacramento to finally go is a mystery. 
Finally got a chance to get out of town for some much needed recreation. I ended up working, sort of. I have wanted to get some new action photos for a while now and have been dying to see what my new shooting rid is capable of with fast action.
I had some friends flying up from San Diego to ride in Tahoe for a few days and the timing was impeccable. Conditions were pretty fun with about a foot of fresh snow and mild temps.
We rode Heavenly, which is one of the larger mountains in the area with a lot of tree riding. I was hoping for big open runs with lake views but didn’t get any this time. Again, lots of tree riding and a little bit in the terrain parks.
The Canon 7D performed awesome. I enjoyed shooting bursts during the peak action then later choosing the very best one. I kept it protected safely in a backpack wrapped in a waterproof shirt and a few puffy beanies.
I’m looking forward to getting back up to Tahoe with some other athletes to get some different looks at the surrounding terrain and more importantly, ride some deep snow.
