Wow, by this date, I have over 50 days last season, and at this point today was only day 40. Well, considering the weather that we have had in Tahoe for this past week, today was very good spring conditions. I have to ask myself now was today actually that good or is it that we set the bar so low that even a mediocre day seems so good? I will go with the former. We are starting a "Boy's Week" here in Tahoe, celebrating our 50th birthdays. The crew from my east coast days at Mad River Glen started to arrive with Mike Hingston arriving first. Mike and I enjoyed Northstar today and the backside skied quite well and we also played around with demoing an few 2015 skis including the new Nordica FireArrow 76, NRGy100 and the Atomic Masters GS.
