Alternatively, issuing a standalone download will be helpful so that users can upgrade without having to use the app store on this instance.

There's snow in the Sierra, so get ready for some wintertime fun! While we love the skiing and snowboarding at Lake Tahoe, we know that not everyone's a skiier and sometimes families just want to go up and have some fun in the snow. While many of the Tahoe ski resorts like Northstar, Palisades Tahoe, and Heavenly have tubing parks, ice skating, and other winter non-skiing activities for the family, there are plenty of other places in the mountains where you can get your snow play fix without the ski resort hustle and bustle (and price tag).
Most of these snow play sites are within a few hours' drive from Marin and the San Francisco Bay Area. While some have tubes and sleds to rent, others, most notably the California State Sno-Parks, offer little more than a place to park your car so you can go play in the snow. For a list of Lake Tahoe ski resorts that offer both skiing and snow play activities, read our article here.
While not as numerous as ski resorts, you'll find a few snow play resorts throughout the Sierras. These places usually boast a lodge or clubhouse, dining, restrooms, and other activities. You'll probably have to rent a tube or sled while you're there, as many of these facilities don't allow outside equipment. Most open around mid-December, although opening dates are dependent on weather and snowfall. Make sure you call or check their website before you go.

I so agree with you happyhooligans. When we think about it we can become paranoid about what we are eating. If it is clean or bad for us or not. Every day we eat out or eat things without looking at it trusting complete strangers have cleaned it for us. Example , riding and eating or opening candy / cakes , chips , etc.. I have bitten into candy before only to find it was full of bugs. Once it was worms. Same things at family restaurants, fast food places , gas stations , and anywhere there is food sold. There may be roaches or rodents or spiders crawling on/in dishes. Bugs in food that gets cooked and served to you. Not on purpose but just the same it happens.
I had rather eat a little specks of dust or dirt. I am not going to let it drive me to where all I can do is think about what I am or am not eating. The government allows more trash and bugs in our food than what is in our snow cream. If we get it from where there are no animals and so forth on/been on it.
