We started our ski adventure on Saturday by driving to Kirkwood from S. Lake Tahoe.  It was a bit of a drive and we got there by 11-1130am.  We found parking and carried our gear to The Lodge to find lockers for our lunches.  We were able to get a locker and put our food and some clothes inside and left for the lifts.

We started on lift 5.  After getting off the lift, we took the run to the right, Zachary.  Ok, this was the first time down for most of us since last year's season.  It was a horrible start.  We all fell down several times before finally getting to the bottom.  We went back up lift 5, but decided to go to the left, Monte Wolfe.  Much better, we all managed to only fall down once or twice on that one.  We made a couple more runs down Monte Wolfe before deciding to go back to the lockers for lunch. 

After lunch, we moved to lift 1.  We skied down to lift 2 and took that up to the top.  These runs were a little less crowded, but seemed to be a little icy in spots.  We repeated the lift 2 runs a few times before heading down and calling it a day.  I think the lifts closed at 430.

This resort also had tubing and ice skating.
