Heavenly

A few more days of sorting out what needs packing or shipping and selling/giving away things that didn't make sense bringing back to the UK and a little bit of tidying up behind us.  Then on Thursday we caught a plane from Reagan National via Chicago to Reno which meant an early start and a long day, but we did get to stay on the plane instead of disembarking at Chicago.

The drive down to Lake Tahoe was straightforward and quiet and we got to our apartment in good time.  Check-in was a bit over the top but we eventually got into our spacious suite and popped out to get some food (and beer) and then while Helen made dinner I prepped the boards for the next day.

Today we caught the bus from outside the apartments down to the gondola which gave us a very picturesque and lengthy trip up to the snow.  We had fun trying to find our way around a new resort especially as very few of the runs were marked (other than what lifts they lead to) and only vaguely resembled the maps.  Then at the end of the day we made our tired way back to the apartment with the thought of an overnight snowstorm.
