Greetings, After enjoying the excitement of Master’s weekend, I have officially waxed the skis and stored them in the garage – except for one pair... I still have dreams of the incredible corn snow to come on the iconic volcano of Mt. Shasta. Every year I make the pilgrimage to ski the 14,000’ plus peak with friends and colleagues. With proper timing and over 7,000 feet of relief, this is [...]
Greetings, I have been taking full advantage of the springtime weather and enjoying what I call the "Tahoe Triathlon” which consists of skiing, biking and golfing. In the past I have started the day with a backcountry ski, mountain bike and then finished with 9 or 18 holes at the historic Old Brockway Golf Course. As a father of two young boys I have tweaked this spring time ritual into [...]

I can certainly testify to the age ol’ tale that, “If you buy snow tires and powder skis…the flurries won’t fly”. Naturally I did both, and here I am looking across a beautiful meadow, a lush flowering spring like meadow without a single ounce of snow. HaHa. If you think for a minute that your local golf professional isn’t sad about the lack of snow, you’re wrong. Being a resident [...]
