Great weekend in Tahoe

This Saturday my friend and I headed for Tahoe at 5 in the morning, reaching Sierra-at-Tahoe around 10, with so much fresh snow, it was one of the best times to be there, am I am so glad that I did.
The next day, Sunday, is especially worth mentioning here. Morning i got up to a feet of snow and my car covered all over; while i cleared it and headed to the slopes, it continued snowing throughout the day. This was my first experience snowboarding in this massive snow shower, i would stop short of calling blizzard.
Fresh snow keep covering the old ski marks and every downhill ride gave experience of being the first one on the slope. The snow shower at times reduced the visibility to zero, forcing us to stop wherever on the hill and wait till its over before continuing the descend once again.
Oh ye, how can i forget to mention, this is the first time i used my new MORROW snowboard kit and I LOVED IT!

Another Weekend worth talking about

Well last 3 weeks drained in rain and everyday commute was a nightmare.

Anyways, on one hand it was good, since we got enough rain to fill our water supply this year. Finally it opened up yesterday, a very nice day indeed, sunny and warm with kool wind. What made this Saturday special was it was the "Big Day", the Mavericks was ON!!. For those who don't know what Mavericks is, its a big wave surf competition, held every year (except last year) in Half Moon Bay, Mavericks are one of the world's toughest wave to surf on. With waves of height 30-40 feet crashing onto the rocks in the red triangle, its held in the most hostile conditions; no wonder the best surfers from all across the world fly on a 48 hour notice to ride these big waves and probably take the first spot.

So I got up at 4:30 in the morning and saw the competition from the beach. Cheers from almost 40,000 spectators on this sunny day, made the day much more fun.

After watching Greg Long win the Final, i head to San Francisco AT&T park for Kooza, one of the wonderful performance of Cirque du Soleil and ended the day pretty well. Today I took advantage of the sun and went out on a 3 hr bike ride. A nice weekend when i look back and I feel contended. Looking forward to the week ahead and the next weekend.
