Tahoe locals rejoiced at weather forecasts fro a big dumping this week. Despite the late date, temps will stay low enough to keep the powder around for awhile, and give boarders and skiers plenty of "slopestyle".
All the competitive skiers will lament the ending of the Olympics at Sochi today. The 4 man bobsled will finish, a few alpine events will wrap up, and the closing ceremony will display all the good will that accompanies the 2 week international festival. Not to be overlooked will be the nearby unfolding of events in Ukraine.
Today's headlines list the latest developments in that country, literally on the doorstep of Sochi(about 120miles west, sharing a Black Sea address). The president has fled, the ex-president has been released from prison, and a former prime minister has reorganized the Parliament. hopefully, these actions will preclude further violence that marked the last 2 weeks of unrest in the Ukraine.
