Tahoe!
Fabulous!
Snow so soft and fluffy that crashing is always a pleasure.
The lake - the feeling you could dive right in from the top with a well-timed jump. On the other side...Desert, cacti - so exotic to a skiier used to the rocks and trees of the Alps.
Lift queues are so polite, so orderly; "It's your turn now, Sir", says the copper

Nobody carving chunks out of my beautiful skis in their desperation to get back up.
Those double-black diamonds...
'The Axe Murderer', 'Rabid Grizzly Man Eater', 'Big, big Trouble', 'Call the Chopper!'
All fantastic fun, and I want to go back right this minute! Cheers DDDDave
