Hello from Tahoe

Working fulltime in corporate America  has made me realize how important getting fresh air and enjoying the great outdoors are. When a friend asked a group of us to join her in an impromptu Tahoe getaway I couldn't say no.

We got to Tahoe, settled in our cabin and took a walk along a secluded, frozen river path at the end of the road. Our Airbnb lodge rental was the perfect "modern rustic" Tahoe log cabin experience, and we made ourselves at home in front of the warm fire. We made it to the lake just in time for watching the sunset, and admired the snow covered beach. We then ate some hearty meat for dinner in a local bbq bar, which gave us energy for the next morning active cross country skiing adventure.

The Cross Country skiing was definitely an adventure. Having done the sport a few times, I was definitely not an expert but could manage a normal shuffle without falling too much. Our group had a first time skier and seasoned snowboarders who couldn't understand the attraction of skiing without gravity. It's definitely a labor intensive sport, which prove to be exhausting. But, the peaceful views of snow covered meadows were worth the pain and suffering. (At least for me!) The trail wound through the pine forest, where we could appreciate the stillness and snow, while huffing and puffing for air.
