a few images from the last storm cycle we received here in tahoe. the storm came in hard and left a lot of beautiful snow that was carved and formed by the overnight wind. the result was typical of the sierra, stable, deep, and steep. We were able to plan it well and made it into this very popular zone before the other riders showed up.
