Mt. Rose 2009--Casey wipeout at Mustang

Casey and Jeffrey going down a blue.


Whoosh, Casey goes straight down, no turns.


Mustang trail has a hairpin turn, with a tree in the way if you can't turn.

Where are Jeffrey's skis?

Jeffrey's skis are by the tree. How did Jeffrey end up down below the tree?


Mt. Rose 2009--Perfect day of skiing

Temps around 30F day/17F night. Windless and sunny. Like spring skiing, but fresh snow, not icy at all.




















Mt. Rose 2009--GSR

Drove up before xmas--beat the crowds. In Roseville, waited for Mizu to open. First ones in. Big snow base over Thanksgiving, then another storm dumped the weekend before xmas. Drive up was on clear, dry roads with new clean snow over the mountains and landscapes.

Stayed at GSR for the first time. Old, but renovated. Still in dark colors, esp. the hallway.
Kind of impressive, small lcd TV in bathroom. refrig and microwave.

$10/day room surcharge for 2 bottles of water and internet access. But we got one free breakfast buffet pp.

Put a couple of $5 bets on a slot machine, and won $42.
