Ah, flocked trees sagging with fluffy powder. A favorite part of bombing down runs around the Lake is weaving through trees like these.
But these trees aren’t anywhere near the Lake.
These trees, friends, are a whole lot closer than the 40 minute drive up Mt. Rose Hwy. We’ve all been up there a thousand times, just not quite over to this hidden little spot. Here’s a couple of shots from that aspect. Total vert on the run is about 1400′ (according to the topo). Sorry, try as I might, I can’t get WordPress to render these in the correct vertical orientation. I’d leave them off, but figured y’all might want to see some of the goods that are sitting just up the hill, on the north aspect of
Peavine. These trees are tucked away on the north-facing side of the peak, immediately below the northeastern-most of the two radio tower clusters. With today’s snow conditions, it wouldn’t have been a stretch to squeeze 2,000′ out of the run. From summit to the sage flat below is just over 2,200′.
Oh yeah, good ol’ Peavine. The one and only. You know, that mountain gives and gives . . . and gives again. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to think about all the goodness being doled out to BaconStrippers up on that mountain.
Last two pics are from the top–and then bottom–of that main shot centered below the tower in the photo above. Ahhh. . . could have been a classic Nevada-style mahogany thrash, but no–Peavine delivers again. Thanks, Peavine. You’re too good to us.
