The second real storm of the season moved in on Thursday, bringing over two feet of snow to the Tahoe area. Both N and I took this as a sign that mountain bike season is over, so we spent Friday night digging out the ski gear.

Cold temps meant today’s expedition yielded surprisingly light snow, ensuring the first turns of the 2012/13 ski season were all the more memorable.

With the first Lake Tahoe ski resorts opening next weekend, I’m definitely ready for winter. Even if my legs aren’t.

Tahoe South ski resort opening dates:

• Heavenly – November 16
• Kirkwood – November 21
• Sierra-at-Tahoe – To be announced soon!
