    Yes there are telemarkers/backcountry skiers out here.  I ski the
northern Sierra Nevada around the Lake Tahoe area most of the time.  My
favorite time to ski at a downhill resort is on a slow weekday or during
a weekend with heavy snow and light wind (light enough to keep the lifts
from closing).  However, most of the time I do day trips in the backcountry.
When I have more than a few days off at a time I like to do overnight trips
but I find them difficult to organize because of schedule conflicts with the
other people in the group.  I can even be found in the tracks (ruts?) at a
nordic center when I am introducing a beginner to cross country.
