Today I went snowboarding for the day in the foothills near Yosemite, away from Tahoe. Takes about 3 hours door to door to get to Dodge Ridge.

Snowed the past 2 days, in some places there was about 1' to 2' of fresh. Ahhh... Not too crowded either. Stayed around 35 to 40 degrees F but the sun was out most of the time. Cold enough to keep the pow but warm enough for me w/ only a shell and 2 wool tshirts.

Came back home and it's 65 degrees. That's why I live in California!
