Skiing in Lake Tahoe

They were good in the morning, but went downhill towards the end of the day. We made the 2-hour drive to Kirkwood for our first day of skiing. The drive was epic, with amazing views of Lake Tahoe and the surrounding mountains....

BRITS 2012 ? PROTEST FREESKI SLOPESTYLE CHAMPIONSHIPS

So here we are again. Special notice for Mollie Summerhayes as her sister Katie is currently killing the ski scene at the moment. “The park here is awesome and I?ve met some really great people.
