Presidents day weekend - 16. - 18. 2. 2013

Kirsten reserved a house in Truckee by Lake Tahoe and Eric and I were part of  group that were invited to spend there the long weekend in February. On Saturday most of us went to Sugar point state park for some snowshoeing around places where in 1960 were Olympic games. On Saturday Eric and I went to Northstar ski resort and spent the day downhill skiing and snowboarding. Surprisingly there were no lines. Since Eric and I had too much things to do at home, we decided to leave on Monday morning quite early and drove home.

Kirsten zamluvila dum v Truckee u Lake Tahoe a Eric a ja jsme byli soucasti skupiny ktera sem byla pozvana stravit prodlouzeny vikend v unoru. V sobotu vetsina z nas sla do statniho parku Sugar point, kde se odehraly v roce 1960 Olympijske hry. V nedeli jsme s Ericem vyrazily do lyzarskeho arealu Northstar a stravili jsme tak den lyzovanim a snowbordovanim. Prekvapive tam nebyly temer zadne fronty. Jelikoz jsme s Ericem meli spoustu prace doma, rozhodli jsme se odjet v pondeli rano pomerne brzo zpet domu.

Snowcamping - Foresdale Creek 9. - 10. 2. 2013

This is my third season snowcamping with Sierra club and we started with our first trip to Foresdale Creek near Carson pass. The hike to our snowcamping spot was only 2 miles long and not with big elevation change on our way. The weather was sunny, but very cold. The highest temperature was around 32 F and over night the temperature dropped to single digits. I think almost everybody was cold and we didn't stick at the kitchen for dinner too long. Eric and I were the only one who built snowcave which was a lot of work but definitely worth it, the temperature there didn't go under 32 F. Most people made trenches, which was still warmer than a tent.

Toto je ma treti sezona snehoveho kempovani z clubem Sierra a tentokrat jsme zacali vyletem k Foresdale Creek pobliz prusmyku Carson. Cesta k nasemu kempovacimu mistu byla asi jen 3.2 km dlouha a s nevelkym prevysenim. Pocasi bylo slunecne, ale velice chladne. Nejvyssi teploty dosahovaly 0 C a pres noc teplota klesla  k - 15 C. Myslim, ze temer kazdemu byla zima a nikdo nezustal v kuchyni na veceri moc dlouho. Eric a ja jsem byli jedinni kdo postavil snehovou jeskyny, coz bylo hodne prace ale urcite to stalo za to, teplota v ni neklesla pod 0 C. Vetsina lidi vykopala zakop, coz bylo stale teplejsi nez stan.
