Ames Ski Club Trip, South Tahoe Region: (Gene Levin, RIACS leader)
Weather, Stormy two days out of three, clear and blue on middle day.
Day time temps: range 2F at top of Heavenly Valley, 11F bottom, 20 F
in South Tahoe near Meyers.  Highs (sunny day) 40.  Windy on summits,
wind chill as low as -40F (burr!)
Snow conditions: 1 foot new snow over a hard 3 foot base.  Exposed obstacles.
Much snow on the first week was skied off, this second set of storms
is finally beginning to stick, just a bit more needed.
Member of parties skied at Heavenly Valley, Kirkwood, Sierra Ski Ranch
(seems nice, might try this one), Echo Summit. X-C skiing in hills N of
Heavenly Nevada side, Kirkwood, Echo Lakes region.  Blue stick wax.
Gambling warning: party lost a total $50 one nite (e.g. I came out ahead
$16 after giving Levin $100 in complimentary chips, but that doesn't count).
Road conditions: chains needed for first storm Placerville to Meyers
(60 miles).  No chains needed upon leaving (thank God!).
Other road conditions:
Carson Spur closed briefly on the sunny day several of us went to Kirkwood
to ski with Peter and Dorothy Denning. No one coming up from the Valley.
