Lake Tahoe is located in the northern part of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the United States, with an altitude of 1,897 meters and a shoreline of 115 kilometers, spanning California and Nevada, of which two-thirds are located in California, and has been one of the famous scenic spots in North America for many years.

It's a year-round resort, especially in winter, and it's one of the most famous ski resorts in the country.

Around the lake, there are dozens of ski resorts of all sizes, among which Heavenly, North Star, Valley, sugar Bowl, and Alpine Meadows are the most famous.

The destination of Zhou Qiao's trip is the highest altitude Paradise Ski Resort.

This ski resort is the only ski resort in the West that straddles two states, with California on the left and Nevada on the right, with Lake Tahoe in front of it, and you can ski over the entire vast Lake Tahoe.

Paradise Ski Resort is also the most expensive, best equipped and most scenic ski resort in the area.

Because of its high altitude, sometimes white clouds are close at hand, and the majestic mountains and breathtakingly beautiful lake landscapes, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most beautiful snow resort in Lake Tahoe!

The iris clinic is rich now, since the team building, of course, you can't pick and search, you just have to have fun when you come out to play, so Zhou Qiao is the best ski resort and high-end hotel!

Living in a small hotel, the conditions are poor, and personal safety is not guaranteed.

From San Francisco to Lake Tahoe, it is about more than 300 kilometers, and after passing Twynbridges, it is not far from the destination, there are still twenty or thirty kilometers left, but the latter part of the road is mostly mountainous.

It's hard to drive.

In particular, there are only two lanes on the left and right for vehicles to drive in the opposite direction, and the lanes are relatively narrow.

If in China, this kind of scenic spots, this kind of lane, and it is the peak period of holiday tourism, you can block the road for a day, fortunately, the United States is sparsely populated, and the road conditions are still relatively good.

The most dangerous sections have a speed limit of no more than 25 miles per hour.

But this kind of brand, if there is no speeding fine, it is a decoration no matter where it is.

The Americans didn't take it seriously, and directly "whew~" and it passed, Zhou Qiao They drove at a speed of about 40 miles per hour, but they were overtaken by many cars on the opposite side of the road, and the speed of the other party was at least 60 miles per hour!

Ava and Ariel can both drive fast, but Park so-joo is a little slow and drives very cautiously, so everyone drives slowly in order to accommodate her.

Park so-joo has 9-year-old Yoona in her car, and she really doesn't dare to speed.

It's too dangerous!

On both sides of the mountain road, many places are abysses, and they are scary to watch!

In the distance, the top of the mountains is covered with snow, and the highest place is more than 2,000 meters above sea level.

There are some trees, several people hugging each other, and at a glance, it is estimated that they are at least sixty or seventy meters!

There are many such towering trees in the United States, such as Sequoia National Park in California, where a huge sequoia tree has fallen and been hollowed out and turned into a tree tunnel.

People can drive through it.

There is more than one such giant tree tunnel. Some of the giant trees are more than 10 meters in diameter, and the living trees are dug up in the middle and vehicles pass through them.

This barbaric practice, which is relatively rough, will cause great damage to the tree and shorten its lifespan.

Zhou Qiao looked at those giant trees along the way, and he was very envious, and he had a feeling that he wanted to dig back into the country!

I finally arrived at my destination, parked my car in the hotel parking lot, and went to check in.

Since we were a little tired from driving that day, we didn't go skiing, but found a high-end restaurant to fill our stomachs, and then took a walk along Lake Tahoe to digest the food.

When you come to a pier, there are many small boats parked on the lake, which can be rented and you can go boating on the lake.

Zhou Qiao rented a relatively large yacht, and everyone went up together, and the yacht could provide a driver or not, and let the tourists drive it themselves.

Aliel said she was trained to fly this kind of boat, so she was taught the responsibility!

Everyone brought a lot of snacks, fruits, and drinks, and got on the yacht.

Lake Tahoe is an alpine lake and the second deepest lake in the United States, with snowfall for up to eight months in winter, but it does not freeze in winter because the water is unusually deep, 501 meters at its deepest point.

However, in terms of water area, it is not very large, it is almost 600 square kilometers, a quarter of the size of Taihu Lake in Jiangsu. It's not a name in the Great Lakes of North America. It is about the 26th largest in the world in terms of water storage.

There are many strong men who are not afraid of the cold and jump into the river for winter swimming on snowy days.

If it weren't for the fact that she was going to start the boat, Ariel would have wanted to jump into the water.

As for the others, it's too gentle to be suitable.

Zhou Qiao is always a little afraid of the lakes in the United States, maybe he has watched too many monster movies in the United States before, and he always feels that there are some monsters hidden at the bottom of the lake.

Lake Tahoe in winter is definitely one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, with clear blue skies and water, no matter how you look at it, your eyes will not get tired, and the air is exceptionally fresh.

Surrounded by towering mountains, snow-capped, forested and with such a huge lake, can the air be bad?

There are mountains and rivers, as well as various ski resorts, restaurants, supermarkets and other supporting facilities, such attractions, to be honest, the surrounding villas are sold quite expensive.

In the evening, we will have a big meal, soak in the hot springs, and when we have rested and nourished our spirits, we will go to the ski resort early tomorrow morning!

Park so-joo and Yoona have a room, Ariel and Billie have a room, Murphy has a room, Elena and Ava have a room, and Zhou Qiao has a separate room.

However, it is obvious that this room is a bit wasteful to book an extra one.

Before ten o'clock at night, Elena and Ava sneaked into Zhou Qiao's room!

But it's not okay to order one more, doesn't that expose his relationship with the twin beauties?

This kind of thing, the three of them all tacitly sneaked around.

Early the next morning, everyone else was in good spirits, only Zhou Qiao and the three yawned. Everyone looked at them curiously.

Park so-joo asked, "Boss, is it because you recognize the bed?" ”

Zhou Qiao hurriedly took the steps and said, "It's a little, I can't sleep when I change places." ”

Elena and Ava also said yes again and again. Said that the bed in the clinic is more fluffy, the bed here is too hard.

Last night, they endured extremely hard, and they didn't dare to be too presumptuous, for fear that the sound insulation effect would be too poor.

A group of people went to the ski resort, and the ski equipment and everything were rented on the spot, because it was just a one-time play, and it was not very cost-effective to buy.

There are also coaches to hire on site, but it seems that except for Zhou Qiao, everyone else can ski, even if Murphy is autistic, he can even ski!

According to Park so-joo, Yoona will be skiing at the age of five!

Ariel says Billie was skiing at the age of ten!

Zhou Qiao: "......"

After doing it for a long time, just me have a raw melon egg?

He's twenty-three years old, and he can't!

I didn't dare to say that it was the first time he came to the ski resort, and he couldn't wear ski gear or anything, which was a bit embarrassing.

Paradise Ski Resort has 97 slopes divided into several grades, such as entry-level, beginner-level, intermediate, and advanced.

Ariel is more fierce and takes Billie directly to the advanced ski runs.

The drop over there is very large, with a height difference of more than 1,000 meters between the start and the end point.

It just happened to be on the edge of Lake Tahoe, and there were several ski trails, which gave people the feeling that if they were not careful, they would rush straight into the lake if they couldn't stop the car!

But in fact, Wangshan ran dead horses, and the lake looked at the foot, and it was still a little far away to actually slide over.

But no matter what, such a ski slope, Zhou Qiao, a novice, dare not play.

Park so-joo was more cautious and took her daughter to the beginner ski run.

Although Murphy thought that he had the ability to challenge the intermediate ski slopes, he saw Zhou Qiao and them walking towards the entry-level ski slopes, so he also followed.

Murphy followed, and Zhou Qiao was even more embarrassed.

Elena smiled: "What is there if you can't skate, come, I'll teach you!" ”

Ava also said, "I like to teach you the most!" ”

The twin beauties taught him hand-in-hand how to wear snowshoes, how to wear protective gear, how to bend joints, how to grip the ground with toes, how to master balance, and how to make feet and boots a whole.

In the process of skiing, where should the eyes look, how to slow down, how to brake, in case of falling, do not panic, what is the most correct way to deal with it?

In fact, Zhou Qiao's inability to ski is determined by the environment in which he grew up, let alone skiing, because his family is poor, and he didn't go out of the county for the first time until he went to college!

Unexpectedly, after graduating from college, I went to the other side of the ocean, all kinds of travel, eating big meals, and high-end play!

The encounter in life is wonderful.

If it weren't for his aunt's gift, he would still be in China, and now he might be living an ordinary life in the township hospital, with a salary of thousands of yuan.

With a month's salary, it is estimated that even a live Alaskan king crab cannot be bought!

Last time, the kind of freshly called freshly made king crab that they ate in the group building was 16 catties, and one crab was eaten nine times, which can only be thought about in a dream.

Zhou Qiao can't slide because of his previous growth environment, not because he is stupid.

He was actually very smart, and with the twins so dedicated to teaching, he quickly mastered the trick and began to glide slowly on the slopes.

Now that they had taught him, Elena and Ava left him alone and let him practice slowly, and then the two of them held hands and rushed down.

Murphy glanced at Zhou Qiao, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he also pushed forward with a snow pole.

Zhou Qiao took a deep breath, gradually felt it, and began to speed up!

After his physical fitness has improved greatly, his athleticism and body balance have also improved, and he thinks to himself, it will not be long before he can leave this novice track and challenge the beginner track!

Maybe it's a little floating, but suddenly, I don't know if there is a trap or a protruding stone under his feet, or if he made a mistake on his own, he suddenly lost his balance, and his body fell on the snow, and he couldn't stop sliding downward!

Murphy heard the movement and looked back, Zhou Qiao bumped into her directly!

"Ah~"

Zhou Qiao's speed was too fast, she didn't have time to dodge, and she was poked down by Zhou Qiao.

The two fell to the ground, entangled together, rolling in the snow, and when they stopped, Murphy suddenly found that at some point, Zhou Qiao pressed on her body, and her mouth was sealed on her lips!

Zhou Qiao: "......"

Murphy: "......"

"I didn't mean to." Zhou Qiao hurriedly let go, struggled to sit up, and then asked Murphy, "Are you okay?" Are there any injuries? ”

Murphy's heart was beating hard, she secretly glanced at Zhou Qiao, so she also sat up, rubbing her legs and said, "It's okay, it's just that my legs hurt a little from being knocked out." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm too good!" Zhou Qiao sincerely apologized, then stood up and reached out to pull Murphy.

Murphy blinked and obediently put his little hand into Zhou Qiao's palm!

In the distance, Elena and Ava turned around and saw Zhou Qiao pulling Murphy and crawling out of the snow ditch on the side of the track in embarrassment!

"Are you alright?" Elena shouted.

Zhou Qiao replied loudly: "It's okay, it's just that I fell and hit Murphy." ”

Fortunately, this is an entry-level ski slope, and the terrain is actually relatively gentle, Zhou Qiao pulled Murphy and slowly caught up with Elena and Ava.

Elena smiled apologetically, feeling that she shouldn't leave Zhou Qiao alone, so she reached out and pulled Zhou Qiao away!

The four of them joined together and galloped to the end of the piste!
