Weekend in Tahoe

This past weekend Levi and I headed back to Tahoe for a couple days of fun in the snow with some friends.  Last year at a silent auction fundraiser a couple of friends and I decided that we should bid on a weekend stay at a cabin in Tahoe.  We won the auction for an incredible price and got together a group of friends to join us.  The "cabin" was really more like a mansion...ok maybe not quite, but it was huge and really nice!

We figured out that it could have slept 17.  We had a total of 11 people and 4 dogs which turned out to be a perfect amount.  Levi and I even had our own room!  The other three dogs were all little dogs and it was cute watching Levi playing gently with them.  His favorite was a miniature Yorki that he was obsessed with.

On Saturday I went snowboarding with two friends while the rest of the group went snowshoeing.  My roommate was super nice and took Levi snowshoeing with them.  It sounds like he had a great time (which he always does in the snow) and found quite a few giant sticks to chew on.

Thanks to my friend, HP, for taking these pictures.

On Sunday I took Levi out snowshoeing again with the two friends that I had gone snowboarding with the prior day.  It ended up being the perfect day for it: beautiful, sunny, and warm.  

 

Levi really loved posing for pictures.

We met a group that was camping in the snow learning about cold weather survival.

It was a fun time had by all, and a good way to close-out the 2010-2011 snow season.  Now we're ready for the sun and some bay area hiking.
