So jealous, wish I had a run like somewhere.

It's a fantastic cruiser! Definitely helped a lot with building my confidence on very steep groomed runs!

It's funny, I went to Tahoe on vacation when I was in high school in 2000. Previously I had only skied a little PA hill called Shawnee, where I could fly down anything there no problem. Did 3 days at Heavenly, 1 at Alpine Meadows, 1 at Squaw Valley and then 1 at Kirkwood. I came to Tahoe and every single black looked like a vertical wall with massive moguls, which I was terrible at. Even my first run down Heavenly ended with a mogul filled blue. I chickened out and didn't do a single black until my last day here at the end of the day, I think this was my only black run the entire trip cause it seemed like the only black that didn't have moguls, and it was not bad at all. I didn't go skiing again for a looooong time, as much as I loved the trip, but I look back and I regret not taking a lesson and being less of a chicken. I missed out on so much great terrain. From 2000 till now I only skied a few times at a small-medium hill in NY in 2008, but this past season I got back into it and got a season pass for a big NY mountain (Gore). I really tried to seriously improve, and I really did quite a bit.... although from pushing myself so hard I ended my season with a knee injury early February haha. Oops. Well if I ever get back to Tahoe one day I'll definitely make up for it and actually ski some good stuff there rather than blue groomers all day.

Snow is pretty good

Yes it was! It had snowed a few days prior so the cord was still very fresh!
