Red flowers stand all over the top of Squaw Valley, with The Palisades off in the distance. I like hiking here in the summer and taking pictures, but I like skiing here in the winter even more!

I can’t take all the credit for this one, a friend pointed out the way this water was curved on a hike at Squaw Valley. I took the liberty of playing with the harsh light and shadows to help bring out the curve of water.

A pleasant slope with some windswept powder available for the taking. All you have to do is jump in and poach that line.

The cable car at Squaw Valley as it approaches its landing spot at the top. This is taken from the restaurant at High Camp, a perfect vantage point to see the magnificent cable car coming up the mountain.

This is my lucky 200th post! Why is it lucky? It is because if I’m lucky, by posting a picture of snow for such a milestone for my blog, I will get more snow in Tahoe! Happy 200th post to me!

This was taken on one of those amazing days at Squaw Valley. The cloud level kept rising and falling. Sometimes we were in the clouds, sometimes they were just above us and everything seemed perfectly clear.

This is the view from the hike up Granite Chief at Squaw Valley. This isn’t the typical spot at the top where you would take in the view of what you will ski down, but I liked the way these trees were windblown on the backside. The whole image has a very cold and snowy feel to it. We have been getting some fantastic early snow here the last few days and I’ve been dreaming of skiing, so I had to post a snow pic!
