The water clarity of Lake Tahoe decades ago was greater than 100 feet deep, but environmental degradation, caused in part by development, has taken its toll. Today the clarity is less than 70 feet. Invasive species, including Asian clams, and green algae also threaten the nationÕs second-deepest lake, according to a report last year by researchers at the University of California, Davis. These are reasons enough for Congress to swiftly approve bipartisan legislation introduced Tuesday by members of the Nevada and California congressional delegations to restore the lake, reduce the risk of area fires and preserve wildlife in the surrounding Tahoe Basin.

So for powering our backcountry skiing adventures I got a dozen AcessoryPower 2200 mAh double-A cells and a nice high tech Powerex MH-C801D charger that has a soft mode to preserve the batteries, and a 1-hour charge when you need 'em quick.
