Feb 14, 2009, Brockway Summit, Tahoe Powder

The original plan for the day was to ski the south bowl of Rose Knob Peak, but after the heavy snow fall we received last night and the potentially high avalanche danger we opted for lower elevation tree skiing instead. The options are almost unlimited down here, but ultimately we chose the Brockway summit area because of the ability to set up a car shuttle and the fun in exploring a new zone. The skin in was fairly easy even with the amount of fresh snow on the ground because we used the low angle ridge as our ascent. Skiing in the trees was fun, deep and because of the low snowpack there was all kinds of little rock pillows to jump off. Can't beat a good safe day out in a snowstorm with about 1000' of pow. All this new snow is really making things fun again and more is on the way!!
