[Verginius Rufus]

The only time I tried to ski (cross-country) was south of Lake Tahoe, near U.S. 50. We didn’t go far from the highway. Conditions were poor so we did not stay very long. That was more than 40 years ago.

Every time that I drove up to Tahoe I would pass Boreal on the south side and it was always busy. It's appeal was its gently slopes; families would take their small children there to go sledding.

It's astonishing that the avalanche wasn't too far from there, but on the other side of the interstate in the peaks.
