SODA SPRINGS — A lot of people in wool beanies who hoped they weren’t about to sprain, tweak or break anything too important showed up on Friday to give it another shot.
It was opening day of ski season at the Boreal Mountain Resort, and ski bunnies, male and female, were excited enough to hop up and down like the other variety of bunny.
“I like snow,” said Caty Mieske, 4, of Sacramento. “It feels like ice cubes. I dreamed about it last night.”
Caty got up before dawn to get ready. So did just about everyone else. The night before opening day is not something that ski junkies easily sleep through.
Mount Rose Ski Tahoe also opened Friday, giving skiers access to four beginner trails.
