Various Winter Time Outings; Reno / Tahoe Area Winter 2016/2017

Between the months of January and April I found myself with less time to climb, but exceedingly better and better ski conditions.  Amanda and I made a day of Homewood Ski Area which was only her second time skiing.  She is already shredding blues, whether that is deliberate or the result of poor trail markings is secondary.  I also visited the Purgatory boulders finally, North of Fernley and Pyramid Lake.  I can't say much for those rocks, the Hatchet directions left something to be desired, cows and dust all over the place, and you really are out in the middle of nowhere.  At least if I'm to break my ankle and pull some kind of 48hours saw my limb off kind of deal I wanna do it in a cool place like Legoland ;-)  (I helped develop that area).

Found time to also visit the Family Boulders, did an afternoon of rappelling practice with Amanda at Owl Rock and checked out some natural hot springs which ended up being a disappointment, but proved they do exist within the area.
