The winter season finds me migrating south from McCarthy, Alaska to Lake Tahoe, California.  The abundant climbing, skiing, and biking make this a great place to spend part of the year.  This fall, everybody’s talking about El Nino bringing huge quantities of snow to the mountains……..but did it forget where Lake Tahoe is?   Come on Alaska, send down the cold!  Other than a few small dustings, that quickly melt, my corner of the Sierras seems unseasonably green.  Good thing fall is my second favorite season, though, because the climbing and biking are still going strong.  In fact, yesterday’s “hour-long-stretch-the-legs” mountain biking turned into a “30-miles-of-single-track-let’s-just-see-what-the-view-looks-like-around-the-corner” ride!  I love it! Fall is fun and there is still plenty of time to play in the snow this winter.
