First off I need to apologize to Solitude for falling asleep when I got to the hotel. We were going to get dinner, but we were wiped out from the little drive we did. My arm is still sore from holding the steering wheel to keep the wheels straight, poor alignment. 
Uneventful and went as planned: 
Depart ORD 9pm on 2/29 
Arrive SAC 130am 3/1 
Chill in Placerville 3/1. <img alt="" src="http://photos-e.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sctm/v215/110/124/3617347/n3617347_37266996_6128.jpg" style="border:0px solid;"> 
Ride Sierra at Tahoe 3/2

Some moron who wears a helmet and thinks he is cool and stuff. I paid him 5 rocks and you should have seen his landings... I'm glad he is ok. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"> 
Thanks everyone. I still have more pics to post up. I am not uploading, my new camera does not want to cooperate with my laptop so the girlfriend has to use her old laptop. It is like the old CH, nuckfuttery.

Whoa!!!! 
You admit that Sierra and Squaw were a little hard packed? 
I got off the chair KT-22 or the other one at Squaw and it was sheer ice. I haven't been that scared of skiing/boarding in a looooooong time!

Never knew... I'm talking about the one next to Tahoe, as you are. 
that's what I have to say about it. I got lots of carving done, and my front leg was wiped at the end of both days. Front leg for hard pack days, back leg for powder days on a board.
