When the "Forecasts" tab is open, click "Snow Level Forecasts." Really cool charts that show whether the snow level is likely to dip below the passes (or lifts or trailheads) in the near future. ~LightRanger~

Now we're talking! This will be my first year as a full time resident of Tahoe. Not really my first year being nearly full time in Tahoe, but the first year I don't have a residence anywhere else (aka Bay Area). We're moving to our house in Alpine Meadows full time starting in November. I can't wait!

That's a season jinx if I've ever seen one...

(Welcome back!)

All the links are dead from back when I was SCUTSKI. Which was... until 2009 or 2010. Fuck man. Pushing a decade and a half around this place.

Pushing a decade and a half around this place.

This place, or this place and the other place, and the other place before that?

[powdork]

Fixed (or mostly removed) all the broken links. Let me know if you want something up there.

And since we scoff at the idea of jinxes these days

Ensembles show another TROUGH for Friday into next weekend. The
timing and depth are yet to be determined, but it is a solid signal
for 8-10 days out. Another cooling trend with gusty winds ahead of
the FRONT and more showers along and behind the FRONT. Of note, some
ensemble members are quite cold with this TROUGH, colder than
anything seen so far this fall. Stay tuned. X

There was even mention of snow to valley floors.

edit to add - 'so far this fall' ???

[TahoeJ]

4 days until Fall. I like it. Fuck jinxes.

Cool. There are a lot of new weather graphics out these days, but not sure how many of them we can hotlink to autoupdate.

I, for one, would like to see another October 2004. CPC for October is meh though.

Well since its right in the title I'll be the first looser to ask. Looking for bootfitter recs in the area. Just graduated college on the east coast, moved out to the bay (I know I know...), and want to get out of my stupid torture device race boots into something reasonable now that I'm old and washed up and not competing anymore. Inbounds only as I already have a good pair of dedicated touring boots. Willing to drive anywhere around Tahoe but I will mainly being skiing squaw/alpine.

Over under on the unr ski swap this weekend? Generally looking for alpine hard goods for my long limbed skinny early teen.

We usually score well at the Truckee swap, tahoe Nordic swap, and that consignment shop in TC.

Tahoe Sports Hub, Blue Zone, Start Haus - have had good experiences at all three between myself / friends / family.
