2021 Ski Season // Alex Norell

COVID-19 really screwed this year up for us. We had Mountain Collective Passes, but we didn’t feel comfortable traveling, and we didn’t travel for skiing until after Mariah had received her first vaccine shot. Due to all this, we only skied three times, and all of them at Palisades Tahoe.

Another beautiful blue sky day. Had fun going all over the mountain, with a couple of fast laps down Alpine Bowl.

April Trip

We drove up the night before and stayed at Basecamp in Tahoe City.

We woke up pretty early this morning and decided go on a sunrise run on Lake Tahoe. We then skied in the early morning before driving to Santa Cruz and doing a sunset run along the ocean.
