With the onset of winter just a few weeks away, this post may be a little late in coming, but hey, what’s a blog for, right? The Tahoe Basin and specifically the Carson Valley is one place in this country we regularly get to see the compression of time. We have a long winter, and a long summer, and somewhere in-between is squeezed a totally unpredictable and makeshift fall and spring. One of the pleasant side effects of this is that we regular get “flinter.” It’s a combination of fall and winter and manifests itself most years in the beautiful turning of the aspens combined with mountains full of snow. Take a look, and you can always find more by searching my stock archive
