February 22nd, 2021 After yesterday’s Heavenly ski day, we’re wrapping up our Lake Tahoe visit with a golden winter sunset. On an afternoon such as this one, Lake Tahoe’s placid surface and deep clarity make for multi-layered reflective photos. It’s a very moody lake — sometimes unbelievably still like this and sometimes churning like the maddest ocean. We’ll return to

February 21st, 2021 It’s been an entire YEAR since I put on my skis and enjoyed a day on the mountain here in Lake Tahoe.
