Bill, I tried to send you a PM, but your box is full. Give me a shout if you feel like checking out a project- I'm about 2 miles west of Sunriver, under the traffic pattern

Darwin, 36 is cold? Well, yes it is to me too. I won't echo Jeff's comments, but he's tough. As David said, too da.. cold here that's why we are leaving for Tucson in the morning (Six wheel RV style). Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and all on the forum.

Sorry to hear that David, we are suffering through a series of 68F days here.

Danny: We skied @ Bachelor today (12:30 to 4 pm) and it was clear and gorgeous. Unfortunately the valley was fogged in as was Sunriver when we returned this evening. Hope you get good flying wx soon. Bill

Darwin,

Nice way to start the day! Followed your lead and decided to test the new RPM transducer...my excuse anyway! Turned into a "Ski Patrol" over Tahoe, so here is your Christmas Day Tahoe Basin Visual Ski Report (also 36 degrees...though its a dry cold! ):

Truckee Airport and Northstar:



Squaw Valley:



Homewood and Alpine Meadows:



Heavenly...whoops, how'd this get in there (man do I need a window wash!)



There, that's better!:



Sun's gettin' a bit lower over the Sierras to the west...Tahoe and Emerald Bay below:


Hope you're having a very Merry Christmas and Santa was good to you!

Cheers, and Ho, Ho, Ho!

Darwin, Merry Christmas.
I had the same idea of a dawn patrol. Unfortunately, the 2800 ft overcast cleared 45 min after sunrise. The flight was nice but I missed the sunrise.
