Jean and I went skiing at Spooner Lake, which is on the Nevada side
of Lake Tahoe, just a bit north of South Lake Tahoe. Unlike our
trip to Bear Valley three weeks earlier, it was quite cold. The sky was clear, however.

Spooner Lake has quite a few groomed trails. There's a flat trail system
around the lake itself on one side, and another set of trails with a lot
of flat trails but also a set of trails climbing up a valley. If you're
adventurous you can make quite a very long round trip out of that. We
stuck with the mostly flat trails.

In the morning, we did the trails around the lake. We returned to the
small rental hut for some lunch. There's not a lot of food here -- we
managed to get the last two sandwiches. After lunch we headed out to
the other side, and skied some very nice aspen forest.
Aspens next to the trail
While we were out there, we saw a couple of kids going up and down
a small hill, going over a small ski jump they'd made. They looked
like they were born skiing. Meanwhile, their father was doing circles
around us, going about 3 or 4 times faster than us. Someday, we hope
to be just as good as them -- the kids, that is.
