We went to Sierra-at-Tahoe after arriving in South Lake Tahoe the night before. The whole area is stunning – lake, mountains, sun and snow.

We started with some park laps through Bashful and Lower Bashful. Super fun features, well built jumps – a good mix of your regular jibs with some more unique things scattered around.

Being a fat kid at heart, I have to mention the food. Great made-to-order sandwiches (check out the “Happy Hippie”). Hugh had a Cobb salad that could have been sent from the heavens.

After lunch, we went to the top and literally lapped the run under and around the lift, appropriately named “Dynamite.” Deep powder, amazing trees lines, steeps, natural jibs, cliff drops… If the mountain hadn’t closed on us, we would’ve been there all night.

First time…

- dropping a cliff (Enormous cliff pre-drop in. Standard boulder post-drop in.)
- sliding a legit natural log (Yeah. How ’bout dem apples, Bear Grylls? Boom.)
- left wanting more. (Though, night riding in the trees would have been both dangerous and scary.)

Best day ever. I <3 Sierra-at-Tahoe.
