This past weekend was MLK. My friends and I decided to spend some time up in Tahoe. We stayed in Incline Village (near Diamond Peak), where our friend, Steph, had a place we could stay. The place was awesome! 5 bedrooms and 3 baths! It was huge! Anyways, Erik, Jen, Alan, Chris, and I rented a SUV and drove up on Friday night. Don't ever rent a car from National if you need a snowboard rack. They don't have one! Because of this, we had to buy a rack from sports basement and REI and install it! We didn't leave the city until 10:30pm! It really sucked.
We had fun though. Erik learned how to snowboard for the very first time. He did great. I was still trying to learn how to toe turn....gosh it's hard. Thanks to Jen, Alan, and Erik. I got butt pads which helped a lot. On the first day, we went to Northstar (my favorite). The snow was good. But the second day was horrible. We went to Diamond Peak and the snow was awful. There were ice patches everywhere. I only went on two runs and stopped. I didn't want to risk injuring myself. So I went back to the lodge and had hot chocolate and watched football.
Overall, the weekend trip was awesome! Can't wait to go again.
