Every so often I make it to the south shore - did some usasa races in Sierra last year. Kirkwood is great for day trips...
...but I'm mostly riding north shore (the inlaws have a cabin in Truckee ). And yes, I got married up there - close to Sugarbowl.
And yes, I know that guy that used to post a lot here... Hi Randy (in case you are still reading here...). I also try to ride with him when I'm up there - see his back a lot. His style of carving is pretty much streight lining it with some edge changes. :D ...and yes, he usually beats me at the races... :(
