US Trip Part 15 - Lake Tahoe

~*~* 02/01/2009 *~*~
Early in the morning, We were all set to the Snow mountain - Lake Tahoe. Along the way there, cars began to stop at the road side to mount the snow tire chains onto their wheels (this increases traction of rubber tires on snow & ice significantly). However, we did not have any snow chains with us, so we were kind of afraid that we were be stopped and not able to drive Up.

/* our first snowing encounter*/
All of us went berserk!

~*~* 03/01/2009 *~*~

We walked from our hotel to the Gondola station... To cut the story short, my dad felt that Reia shld not go up since he saw no sign of kiddos ard. So mom and dad took Reia back to the hotel Whilst 4 of us continuing our journey up to the snow mountain. Per Pax US30.

/*in the Gondola....already can feel the freezing Cold*/

There are 2 decks, the 1st deck is the viewing mall, the Top deck is for ppl to ski. We hopped out of the Gondola to have some pictures taken.
/*Calming Lake Tahoe*/

We were definitely UNDERDRESSED and not EQUIPPED with proper gloves and footwear.. Our Fingers and Toes were frozen Up. Luckily there's a small souvenir shop there, we always ran in to heat us up before we dashed out to take more pixs! No Joking... It's really COLD. Im glad Reia and my parents were not here with us. I dont think they were able to take the Ice-ness.

/* -10 degree celsius */
/*the skiing area*/

The initial plan was to go skiing... but it was really cold and we just want to build snowman and we wld be contented. ANyways, there were quite a few already made snowman, we just need to choose the cutest one and leave a memory.
