Winter Wonderland

Tahoe got over four feet of snow while we were there, I heard it was the most snow in something like 30 years. We totally lucked out.

First trip skiing out west and we are fairly confident that we'll never be wasting our time, money or effort to race down an ice-covered hill in upstate New York battling thugs from Yonkers on the way down.

K's best friend from Vassar visited us while we were there.  She now lives near Sacramento and they don't have many chances to see each other so it was so nice to have her come stay the night and ski with us.

A wonderful ski trip and even more so since my company picked up part of the tab!

Puffers Go Ski!

As I am the only one signed up for the skiing trip, I've been trying to get K to change her ticket and meet me in Tahoe Wednesday instead of Friday. That would give us an honest vacation and we'd have time to get some great skiing.

Since neither of us planned to go skiing for a week, this is all spur of the moment, but at 11pm she was packing and had changed her ticket ($75 ticket change when it was booked using frequent flier miles? Grrr....). I emailed the cat sitter and by tomorrow...I'll be with Puffer!

In other even stranger news...K mentioned to her father that we were going to go skiing in Tahoe and we find out that her aunt and her partner (yes, her aunt's gay, her dad's gay, her brother's gay--it's like the freaking GAY Brady Bunch) are skiing in Tahoe the same time.

Now, Tahoe's a big place, they could be anywhere...but no. They are not only staying in South Lake Tahoe, they are one mile away and they are in the lodge that I tried to book and it was full!

How crazy weird is that?

Edited to add: We visited her aunt and found out we have the same room numbers...weeiiird!!!
