Here’s pictures and video from a week of skiing and tabletop gaming in North Lake Tahoe with Jon, Stan, Bill, Brin and Lewis. We went to Alpine Meadows, Sugarbowl, Northstar and Squaw Valley over the course of six days.

Another Ski Weekend in Tahoe
Just a handful of pictures from another ski weekend in Tahoe with the Outdoor Adventure Club. The OAC group split up going separate ways this weekend but Noel and I went to Squaw Valley and joined up with Christie and some of her friends. We also enjoyed checking out the cool snow castle and slides for kids:

Moon-Jupiter Conjunction
A nice conjunction of the Moon and Jupiter tonight — meaning that they appear very close together in the sky. With binoculars, you can see our moon, Jupiter nearby (appearing as a small disc) and several of Jupiter’s moons (several points of light around Jupiter) all at once. Pretty cool.
I tried to capture what I could see through my binoculars using my 400mm lens plus a 2x teleconverter on my DSLR but I wasn’t able to get a sharp image with my lightweight tripod, even with a delayed shutter release. (I have been meaning to get a heavy tripod for this sort of thing.) So this was the best I could do before the sky started to get a little cloudy with moisture — and I never got so far as finding an exposure to catch Jupiter’s moons as well:
Sailing in the SF Bay
Pictures from a day of sailing with Darlene and her friends from the OCSC Sailing Club on Saturday, January 19th, in the San Francisco Bay:
