Yearly Tahoe trip 2011
Took my yearly ski trip to Tahoe over the past President’s Day weekend. This makes 11 years now that we have had the trip, and I have only missed a single one (last year due to Snowpocalypse shutting down the airports). As usual I didn’t bother taking any pictures and just enjoyed my time there skiing Kirkwood. An amazing 8 feet of snow dropped while we were there making it a “fun” 13 hour drive to get to the house.  Much fun was had with a great bunch of people.  I think this may be the first year where we didn’t have a “one.” Clem’s blog will have much more detail and pictures at http://gamerabaenre.com/?p=1472
Afterwards, we made a trip to Monteray, one of the most beautiful places on earth. Clem and I went to Point Lobos and dove off of Whaler’s Cove. The water was a frigid 52 degree F but we would not be stopped!  It reinforces however my desire to take a “dry suit” class.
Below are the pictures I took with my cheap $120 Intova IC10 underwater camera. The camera has some issues, but for the price I can’t complain when it gives me some of these beautiful shots. More pictures on Clem’s blog of the dive trip.
