Lake Tahoe - 2005

Do you dream of frolicking in the snow with Armenians? You had your chance!

The 2005 AGBU-YPNC Tahoe Trip was truly a winter wonderland and the weather was the main topic of discussion for the weekend.  We returned to the large house on Marshall Trail with the oversized deck and, yes, the Jacuzzi.  The scenery was breathtaking as was the adventure of maneuvering our cars on the slippery roads!  Everyone arrived safely on Friday and most decided to hit the sack early.  Unlike last year when the weather was warm and sunny and most passed on skiing, nearly everyone decided to hit the slopes for a chance of skiing or boarding on some fresh powder.  

From the onset Saturday morning it was clear that snow was coming but that didn’t stop the brave skiers and boarders from taking to the slopes.  Although the skies were clear for a little while, the white stuff soon came down with a fury!  Everyone enjoyed a different skiing experience this year before regrouping at the house to warm up and soak in the Jacuzzi.  Once again we had a large group for our traditional BBQ and pilav dinner and of course ice cream and banana splits for dessert.  Afterwards, the group headed out to test its luck at the casinos and do a little dancing. 

We wrapped up the weekend with Sunday breakfast in South Lake Tahoe before making the trek home, yes, in the snow!  This was the most adventurous, beautiful and fun Tahoe weekend to date.  If you weren’t able to join us this year, don’t miss the weekend next year!
