View, CA Lines: 38 Dec. 1 West Tahoe Area. Temps: lower 20s. 2-4 inches new, dry. X-C blue bordering on purple at 7-9K ft. Weather: Morning clear and sunny turning to patchy high clouds. Base: 3-5 feet with the 2 in. new. Went cross country skiing yesterday after a weak front went thru (trying to save money on a Civil Service Salary). Went to the area N of Donner Summit off I80. Visited the Peter Grubb Hut and ascended Castle Peak for a wind-blown run down. Snow conditions nice considering we beat the crowds going out. Snow should be good for one more day, it raining in the Bay Area today. ___________________________________- If you happen to live in the San Francisco Bay area, I am looking for people to share driving expenses on the weekends. The only thing I ask is that you have to be able to leave on 24-hr notice (soon after a storm). I want to develop a "net" of locals interested in skiing (or climbing). I have tried to avoid going with the local Sierra Club and AAC (have attended a couple of meetings). What you do in the mountains (cross country or alpine downhill) is your preference. I principally want to share expenses. My personal interests are easy: I like doing everything but jumping, mogels, and packed runs. I make no distinction between cross country and down hill or extreme skiing (if you are interested in this latter, I want to talk to you). Accomodations: sometimes I stay with friends or relatives, other times I have a tent and a warm bag. So, if you are a Bay Area crazy [you really like skiing and will even get up at 4 AM to go], drop me a note, or if you know somebody. It's doesn't matter where you live, we can work out some type of transportation arrangement, you just have to love skiing. --eugene miya NASA Ames Res.
