I worked in the morning before heading onto the slopes to join the group for lunch and Epic Mix Racing. I hadn’t tried Epic Mix Racing yet but after the [...]]]> http://www.shayboarder.com/2013/03/snowcial-heavenly-3213.html/feed 0 http://www.shayboarder.com/2013/03/snowcial-heavenly-22813.html http://www.shayboarder.com/2013/03/snowcial-heavenly-22813.html#comments Mon, 04 Mar 2013 03:03:17 +0000 Shay http://www.shayboarder.com/?p=24512 When it came time to decide on what conference to attend this year, Snowcial was the one I really wanted to have happen. Mainly because it brings together many of the ski resorts and marketers whose passions lie in skiing and snowboarding. Not only that, Snowcial brings in incredible guest speakers that make you think [...]]]> http://www.shayboarder.com/2013/03/snowcial-heavenly-22813.html/feed 0 http://www.shayboarder.com/2013/03/sierra-at-tahoe-22713.html http://www.shayboarder.com/2013/03/sierra-at-tahoe-22713.html#comments Sat, 02 Mar 2013 18:34:02 +0000 Shay http://www.shayboarder.com/?p=24504 It’s been a busy last couple days of traveling but I finally made it to Lake Tahoe! It’s good to be back to return to the Snowcial Conference. My first stop was Sierra at Tahoe where I could spend the day lapping the mountain and getting my snowboard feet back under me.

The past two days in Tahoe have been great days, the snow finally arrived and delivered amazing powder runs. I couldn’t believe how quickly the conditions changed on the mountain and just in time for my last day in Tahoe.

One day it’ll be bare roads with spring like slushy conditions and a couple days later it’ll be dumping snow with a total winter appearance. I made sure that I was in Tahoe for Monday morning’s storm and heading to Sierra at Tahoe for the day.

The lake ties together so many different mountains, communities and offers so much fun in one place.

Last year I got my first taste of it and this year, I attended the welcome party and one day of snowboarding to celebrate the fun event.

That’s exactly what I needed and received at Heavenly Mountain. Today was even better than yesterday, which I thought wasn’t possible since I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face yesterday. It’s amazing how good, fun people can make a day on the mountain the best.

Tahoe seems to be better off with snow coverage and snowmaking capabilities so you don’t get too much impact damage on the mountain.

Today made my Thanksgiving weekend. Maybe it was the lack of crowds, the good conditions, the sunshine or maybe it was all those combined with good people. Ever since visiting Northstar last weekend, it just keeps getting better and better. Today we woke up early, left a sleeping house in North Tahoe and [...]]]> http://www.shayboarder.com/2011/11/northstar-112711.html/feed 4
