first trip to tahoe

so on sat julian and i went up to tahoe, we decided to go even though there hasn't been any rain in the last month! it's so sad! julian was itching to go because we haven't gone in 2 years!! anyways, we decided to take a bus that would just up for a day. we woke up at 4am (sooo tired) and got to northstar around 9. in the morning we stayed at the newer lift because it wasn't too crowded, but i think it wasn't as crowded because it was icy =/ and some of the runs were very patchy. so sad. the first run i was so so nervous. after we locked in our bindings at the top, julian went off. and then i just sat there for like 5 minutes gathering my nerves to go down! so eventually i went and kind of forced myself to do toe edge, and realized that i could still do it! whew. i think i'm still a beginner though, still not that great, and still fall a lot. i'm thinking i should maybe invest in wrist guards, my wrists hurt a lot afterwards from falling on the icy parts. after lunch we went to the top of the mountain, it was super crowded, but wasn't as icy. too many people though. i was really sore the next day and we stopped boarding around 3 hehe. hopefully it snows more, it's already feb!!
