It was my visit to California and I was extremely excited to check it out.

The conditions during our first two days of skiing were less than ideal.

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.

Kirkwood was a fun mountain and seemed like it would be incredible on a powder day.

We spent a lot of time in the terrain park at Alpine.

We woke up on the third day at 7 AM to 2 inches of snow outside of our hotel.

We met up with some other friends and jumped on the gondola.

It was a big powder day and Squaw was empty!

Lake Tahoe was one of the most scenic places I’ve ever been to.

Check out a few photos from the trip and a video edit that I made this afternoon.
