Damn! It’s been a tough week for snow sports enthusiasts. Winter came so late, I guess we’re all out of practice and gettin’ a little reckless.
Be careful out there, Folks. Save a little fun for tomorrow.
Just how many people have died in the Tahoe basing this year?? Is this way out of proportion to other years? It seems that it is. Just in the last month 3,4? One is too many.
