The day after Christmas, I went up to Reno with some friends. On the way back we stopped by Tahoe to get in some rec time. I’m not much of a snowboarder (after photography, who has the money for snowboarding?) so while my friends were out hitting the slopes, I went snowshoeing.

It was fantastic.

The grounds, Royal Gorge, is the largest cross-country ski resort in the country. It’s massive. And every few miles or so along the trails they have these warming huts. Smartest ideas ever. Especially as they were usually positioned right by a fantastic view, so you could take in some of the scenery as you rested.

Still coulda used an outdoor jacuzzi, but I guess that’s the point of roughing it.
