Northstar-at-Tahoe
Saturday 19 March 1994
Weather
Warm with bright sun. The snow was frozen at the top, heavy at lower elevations and perfect in a band that rose with the sun.
Overall
We had a technical managers meeting in Monterey.
The weekend before was spent in Salt Lake and the weekend
after around Lake Tahoe where I was joined by James de Raeve,
Josina Arfman and Pete Smith.

Josina was trying cross-country skiing. James and I spent most
of the day skiing the variety of blacks down the back-side.
