Back in the mountains

For the first time since this summer I went hiking in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, near my home in Reno. It was nice to get out in nature once again after such a long absence of outdoor activity. Holly and I took Chester to the Davis Creek Park end of Ophir Creek Trail, just south of Reno. We had a nice hike up to a small alpine lake, which we had all to ourselves.

In other news Holly and I got ski passes to Northstar-at-Tahoe this year. Being lower in elevation than the other ski areas means that it tends to get less snow, so it is sort of a gamble. However, I wanted to try something a little different this year, and the pass also includes access to the cross-country ski trails as well as the downhill ski lifts.
