I didn’t really shoot a whole lot on this trip. I wanted to do more skiing and I’m getting more out of shape to worry about taking photos. I made the first week of the trip. However, the rest of the guys ended up staying for the rest of the week and bagged some great couloirs like North Couloir off of Emerson.

These photos were taken a couple years before from Bloody Mountain which put the fire in us to get to Red Slate.

Cork Still took some great shots of the trip. Check out his Facebook Photos or his Kodak Gallery

I’m trying out a new way to show my photography. Here you’ll find landscape photography of Pyramid Lake, Lake Tahoe and some of my favorite skiing shots. I hope you enjoy. http://gallery.me.com/trassuchine#gallery

Check out the new issue of Adventure Sport Journal. A photo of Brian Kari up on Donner Pass made the cover. That was a great day skiing the Lake Run with Brian and Matt Kaso. I also did some illustrations for an article on 2 backcountry skiers crossing Tioga Pass back in 1932. They drove down from Tahoe and were stopped by too much snow on the road at Topaz Lake in Nevada. 395 was a little bit different back then! They ended up skiing all the way to Yosemite Valley, which is about 140miles. That’s pretty burly considering they had to carry enough food and equipment back then was probably pretty heavy. Check out the article here.

Lake Tahoe is the highest lake of its size in the US. The Washoe Indians named the area “Da-ow-a-go,” or “edge of the Lake.” but pioneers interpreted the phrase as “Tahoe.” Lake Tahoe had some other names like “Bonpland” after a French botanist “Mountain Lake” and “Bigler Lake” after the California’s third governor. But none of these stuck like Tahoe. Good thing. Take a look at the photography of Lake Tahoe.

Is a desert playa remnant of the prehistoric Lake Lahontan, which existed between 18,000 and 7,000 BC during the last Ice Age.  The playa stretches for miles of flat cracked desert silt alkaline. I’ve heard that Burning Man is some thing to go and experience in person but when no one is out there you can really get a sense of being alone. Take a look at these photos I’ve taken over the years.

First trip to Juneau, Alaska for Jody’s wedding. It rained and well, it rained. We did some kayaking in the Mendenhall Lake and the glacier calved off into the water when we were pretty close.  For more photos click here
