All work and no play makes Tom a dull boy. And I have indeed been very dull pretty much since I joined Tinyprints. I have not done much on the weekends other than rest. And with the remainder of the snowboarding season in jeopardy it was time for action! Timber and I (and Wookie) got up early this past Saturday and headed to Sugarbowl. The conditions were bright and sunny with lots of snow. The snow was hard packed with the groomed runs being the best. Spring conditions have pretty much started. As the afternoon wore on the snow started to soften up and get a bit better. Once we were done snowboarding for the day we went to our hotel (the Inn at Truckee) and checked in. We stayed there primarily for two reasons. (1) They allowed dogs. (2) It was closer than Reno. And lastly, we would have preferred to stay at the Cedar House Sport Hotel, but they charge and extra $50 for dogs. The cheapo in me just can't go for that. The Inn at Truckee was ok, but not super. If we were going without Wookie we probably would have stayed somewhere else. On Sunday we went to Northstar with the intention of snowboarding, but Timber's heel was not feeling so good, so we decided to scrap snowboarding for the day and took our time driving back home to San Jose. On our way back we stopped in Old Town Sacramento and the area around the state Capital. All in all it was a good trip. We need to get away from it all a little more often.
