Tamarack Peak

A week ago I probably would have said it wasn't worth heading back off the Mt Rose Highway anymore, head for the closed ski resort if you want some skiing. But after a week of snow (and rain), I figured it was worth a look. Snow was actually very spring like, soft 1/2-1" on a carvable base. After skiing the gut of Hourglass Bowl I went back up and skied one of my favorite little north facing lines that I hadn't skied yet this year. I then headed over to Proletariat bowl, very rocky and the snow as softer then the first two lines. A great day of backcountry skiing in Tahoe!

Run #3, found a few rocks in there

Snow "almost" to the car
