Skiing in the USA, 2007

This year Margaret and I went on a ski trip to Sqaw valley (in addition to my company's traditional ski trip). We had a great couple of days' skiing. This was Margaret's first experience of skiing in the US.
A large amount of snow fell while we were there, which made for nice powder skiing... as well as several hours driving in chains through a winter wonderland.
We were lucky that we came home when we did... some friends who left the same resort 30 minutes after us didn't get home until 14 hours after us due to heavy traffic and road closures!
