I noticed some comments about where I live so I thought some photographs might be of interest, especially for the many Bare Knuckle Forum folks who live outside the United States.
Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada are truly amazing and if you love the outdoors it is heave. Y ear round it blows my mind. I live half way between the Lake and Reno and 12 minutes from ski lifts. I truly am fortunate to live here, having moved to this region about December 2003.

Beautiful -you are lucky to live there for sure.

Air the beds we're all coming over next tuesday.

What?????? You prefer that to the 2 weeks of lashing rain, floods and gales we have been enduring PDT_020

That looks beautiful. Great pictures.
It's nice to see the beautiful side of the State - quite often in the UK we're bombarded by images like The Wire, and miss some of the great things there. My siste and brother in law are moving to South Dakota i a few months, so I hope to make it over there soon for some exploring.
Mark.

Wow! I dig the sunsets.
-
Beautiful
-
Yeah sure, it looks nice and all but I bet it's miles from the nearest supermarket.
And with all that snow it must be hard to get to the office in winter.
-
All looks good to me. I like lakes.
-
How on earth do you find time to play guitar with all that beautiful nature at hand?
I must say you're one lucky guy living at such a beautiful place. If I ever visit the States I'll write Lake Tahoe on my list of places to go.
It seems like you get the best of both worlds: Warm and sunny summers - winters with lots of snow.
How long is the skiing season?
-
I hate you.
-
since your post starts with a snowy pic my first thought was "it's well to cold for shredding!"
you got good taste in location as half your pictures look like my desktop wallpaper collection!
-
I hate you.

You're a total git!!
:wink:
(My wife would say the same, but I daren't show her the pics in case she wonders why she isn't living in a place like that yet :lol:)

Likewise I'd love to show the pics to my other half but I know it would just end in tears.

Looks awesome!

wow.
I've heard of lake tahoe, I knew it was meant to be nice, but those pics are just amazing. :)

Thanks. The photos are not touched up or doctored: the sunsets are that mindblowing and Lake Tahoe does look Carribean turquoise blue and is very clear. Every time I go there I am amazed.
To answer a few questions:
I slightly emphasize the winter because that's my favorite time of year. We have 15 ski resorts/mountains and we get passes to Mt Rose and Squaw Valley every year.
The ski season is November to June and occasionally July. But those first and last months it the highest peaks and we often hike up to ski. I moved here for skiing; it's my passion.
The spring/summer when it's green are from April until Sept or October. The spring and especially the fall are very short; it's actually like there's a fall for a month.
The neat thing is in the spring or late winter you it's warm enough at the base that you can ski and play golf, hike, tennis, fish, ATV/four wheel, ride horses, whatever you like. Lake Tahoe is pretty cold and gets barely warm in July and August. River rafting is mostly May through August.
I live about 12 miles from the nearest supermarket or minmall and about 25 minutes from downtown Reno. It's a bit of a pain in the ass but it's worth. The sunsets , deer pics, and porch deck pic are all take from my house.
The river hucking pics off the train bridge and cliffs are at Farad into the Truckee River; about 30 minutes from my house.
-
Bloody hell... I want to move.
-
Didn't Steve Vai have a place near there?
I remember him saying in an interview that he went swimming in lake Tahoe in winter (brrrr) and I think the video for For The Love Of God was shot in that area.
-
Vai, Jimmy Page, David Coverdale, one of the Aerosmith dudes, etc have places in the expensive areas of the Lake

Well, there had to be a downside. :wink:
-
My favourite place to go skiing!
The company I work for is based in San Jose (and, yes, I do know the way....) - any visits from the UK between late November and the end of March generally include a run up to Tahoe - about a 4-5 hour drive but well worth it!
-
I have passes to Rose and Squaw but ski Squaw 90% of the time. Maybe we can huck some cliffs together.
My g/f and I took most of the pics; friends took the photos of me skiing.

Not all all.
It's better to be looked over than to be overlooked.
I love boobs.

You walk in the basement and find the most awesome SLO collection on the planet.
You walk outside and find gods most amazing creation of nature and landscape.
You walk in the bed room and find your gorgeous wife with bxx bxxxs
You drive a few miles to find the most awesome ski resort, mountain bike routes, cliff diving etc
You walk to the other side of the lake and meet Jimmy Page
My conclusion is you must have done some pretty good deeds in your previous life to deserve this!
Were you Gandhi or something?
