Wish I Was There

From sfist:

What with last week's and (and presumably this week's) manic storm activity, John Vlahides at 71Miles reports that this week is the week to play hooky. Reporting that the Sierra Crest is "dumping over ten feet of feather-light snow," why not take a day or three off of work to head up to higher altitudes and frolic in the cold?

Places like "Squaw Valley," "Kirkwood," and "Heavenly" - terms typically overheard from the mouths of questionable patrons at questionable Marina bars - now come alive for skiers, snowboarders, and hot cocoa-by-the-fireplace enthusiasts. Vlahides recommends Sierra-at-Tahoe for snowboarders and Kirkwood for "serious skiers."
