Another Friday Gift






We knew that a pretty potent storm was headed for us last night, but it was still a little uncertain what time it would actually hit us. About 6am I received a call saying we would be on a two hour delay at school, so I went back to sleep. When I woke up a little later, I looked out the window and thought “Hmm…this is going to be an interesting drive.” Actually I was pretty pissed that they didn’t call a snow day. It was dumping outside and visibility was minimal. Our students come from all parts of Reno and driving at this point has become pretty dangerous. I started to get ready so I could head out on the road when the phone rang and explained school would be cancelled. Jason had already made the call to work from home and it was a good thing because the freeway headed to Truckee was closed anyway. So instead of heading to work, we fired up the snowblower!

Just In Time for the Weekend





The week leading up to President’s Day Weekend we went from sunny and 60 to snowy and 30 degrees. My school had two late start days in a row followed by a day off. I ended up with a four day weekend. Not too bad if you ask me. Jason and I woke up right when we got the call and headed for NorthStar. I was literally waist deep. It pounded most of the day and night and when we woke up the sun was out. Time to bust out the shovel!

Laguna Beach





Jason was able to have some fun in the sun before the snow came back to visit. Here are some of the amazing pictures from his trip. Needless to say, I was very jealous even though it was a quick 36 hr trip. I know he calls it work, but come on! :-) Laguna Beach in February never looked so good.

SIA 2011





Denver – the annual snowsports industry show has come and gone. Burton had an interesting display of snowboards from past to present. I am sure Jason was reminiscing of his days with his first snowboard...a Burton Air.
