October 2023 Newsletter: Preparing for Winter

The temperatures have been dropping here in Tahoe, and the wind has been whipping! We've even gotten some rain here and there over the past couple of weeks. That, and there have been reports of snow on both Mount Tallac and Mount Rose following our most recent storm (just the other day). Very exciting stuff!

So, yeah, I've been thinking about the upcoming winter :) I wouldn't mind, however, if I still had a few weeks of fall weather because I still have a bunch of outdoor projects to complete before the snow falls.

Regardless, it's time to get mentally and physically prepared for what's to come!

Lastly, I've produced my collection of articles and videos for Tahoe Trail Guide about backcountry travel and exploration with the beginner and intermediate adventurer in mind. This is the demographic for whom I most often served while working in the Lake Tahoe outdoor recreation industry. In essence, these informational projects I create and publish are extensions of the many conversations we've had over the years.
