The desperate times = desperate measures TR 1-24-07
With a dismal season we’ve been having in the Tahoe area and only a handful of days under my belt I decided to use the flying couch to rack up some quick and easy vert. You know it must be bad. ;)
On the way to the resort I got a good look at one of my favorite roadside bc haunts…with the lower half still un-rideable. :( (note the fat snowbank too)

The groomers were going off and since the place was empty you could point it and go as fast as you wanted. Man did the speed and thigh burn feel good! I took some runs in the park too to try and work on my balance and air-time. I sure do suck in the park these days but it was still a blast.
After about 10 runs on the frontside I headed to the backside for more groomer madness.

After a quick 20k of vert in a few hours it was time for a beer…too bad we don’t have reggae music, lawn chairs, and coldies like this in the bc…this aint so bad. :)

So the day wasn’t my dream day but in desperate times like these…you gotta do what you gotta do. :)
