Truckee

[Scott]

Hi
I am carting my family out to Truckee for 5 days of skiing/riding during Feb vacation.
I plan on doing multiple days at Squaw. Is it worth trying other areas or is there enough to do at Squaw?
Thanks
Scott

Definitely worth moving around. Where are you staying? Northstar is a freaking zoo on weekends (so is Squaw), so Alpine is a very good choice on those days. Homewood is small and has a bunch of slow lifts, but some of the most amazing views if the weather is clear. There are a bunch of carvers who ride at Mt. Rose, but its also sort of small.

If you come to Alpine, give me a heads up a day or two before. If I'm not teaching, I'll try to make a point of strapping on my alpine gear. I haven't ridden much this season so I need to get out there and carve some turns.

Thanks Sinecure
We will be staying near Northstar and riding Monday-Friday but it is a vacation week. Maybe not in CA? The kids want powder in the bowls so I will be on an all mtn board most of the time. I broke the Osin snow spoon last time I rode in the bowls. Hope to do some turns.
