There are many cool places in California, but nothing quite captures my imagination the same. However, I don’t think Tahoe would top my list of best destinations in the Sierras. Definitely worth a trip if you ever cross the Atlantic though hckošice, heywoodu and owenp_23 3 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Men’s race from California also threatened by global warming & drought, which combine to produce record snowfalls on The Mountains Called Snowy.

Olympian1010 7,542 Posted February 25, 2023 #408 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Palisades Tahoe got over a meter of snow in the last three or four days The weather is really crazy when California (the land of perennial drought) is getting blanketed in snow and Europeans are basically begging for it. “Sport has the power to change the world.
