Lake Tahoe (2001-2002, 2002-2003, 2003-2004, 2004-2005 Seasons)

I spent 4 seasons working at Diamond Peak Ski Resort in Lake Tahoe. An amazing experience.

This picture was taken from the top of Squaw Valley Ski Resort looking over the valley and lake towards the east shore (Nevada side). The 1960 Olympics were held here. It was one of the biggest resorts I have ever been to and had some very challenging terrain.
The sunsets were always incredible and different every night. This was taken as I headed home after a big day of skiing. You can see the silhoette of a ski lift in the foreground.
The mornings were just as amazing. This was taken as I ate breakfast at my dining table.
Late in the season we had a massive storm that lasted for days. One night it stopped and revealed this the next morning. Needless to say I took a few hours off work to enjoy the fresh powder. This photo was taken in an area that resort customers did not go - fresh tracks all day.

The lake was often blue. But on a day like this, after a storm it took on almost unreal colors.

A cold night in Tahoe. This was taken from the edge of the Mt Rose highway from Reno as you decend into Incline Village (you can see the lights below on the lake shore).
