We snuck up to Tahoe for the weekend for skiing. We are fortunate to have carte blanche access to a house very near a ski resort. This ski resort we frequent is the anti-Yuppie resort that has an alternative, rebel edginess to it. If you’re looking to make the “ski scene” this is not the place for you, and quite frankly, we don’t want attention whores or Yuppie scum there anyway.
Attention Yuppies and other attention/status whores: Please go to Northstar or to Squaw Valley to prance around in your designer ski gear trying to impress complete strangers. We only make fun of you anyway, and the bartenders and café workers do nasty things to your drink/food when you get all uppity and snooty with the staff. Plus, the parking lot crowd does things to your Mercedes and BMW’s that would send you over the edge. If you have a license plate bracket that states you’re from the greater Bay Area, it’s even worse. The crappier the car in the parking lot, the more accepted it is, especially if certain stickers are on it. And no, it’s not the “Keep Tahoe Blue” sticker. That’s a bulls-eye target for the parking lot crowd if I ever saw one. It’s like sporting a giant “Kick Me” sticker.
This alternative ski resort is alternative in every sense of the word. If you know where to go and who to talk to, it’s all there for ya, if you know what I mean. God bless the geeks and freaks. The picture tells it all. We just happened to bump into a fellow freak in the parking lot as he was giving his robotic dog that he and a team of engineers built a test run. If you have not guessed already, a lot goes on in the parking lot….
