First time I went to Burning Man on the Black Rock playa, I slept in my SUV. Not bad but second and third it was in my tent, a very gritty and uncomfortable week. Fourth I weaseled my way into a friend's a fold-out trailer, which was better. But from then on I teamed up with a retired airline pilot, who had a nice 27-foot Winnebago. Four of us the first three times, just two the last.

A handful of Lake Tahoe ski resorts prepare to open for the season this weekend thanks to an early snowfall, snowmaking guns and a fairly large storm set to punch the Sierra.

Around a foot or more of natural snow across the Sierra earlier this month certainly helped get things moving. With this weekend's anticipated storm, which may bring anywhere from 2-4 feet of snow to the Sierra, resorts should get a nice healthy boost just in time for the holiday season.

RENO – Every chance is a stepping stone to Nate White's ultimate goal – becoming a Major League Baseball umpire.
So when White, a 2003 Carson High graduate, received the chance to umpire behind the plate in Tuesday night's exhibition game between the Reno Aces and the University of Nevada at Aces Ballpark, White jumped at the opportunity. But White wasn't wide eyed at all as he conducted himself like he belonged.
