Looks like some tracks were laid down on the tram face....anybody claiming this..?
Just so you know it will be poached again.
How many squallywood points for the tram face?

its not a big deal really. anyone can ski it if you can make hop turns. i did it at night, it was spooky, but fun. there is rnough light at night, and its the stealth way. the way i was taught.
^^^i'm guessing it fills in more than that?
I doubt anybody would claim it on the internet.Quote:

tahoegnar you'll get all fucked up on the tram face there are some serious lines up there and they are not to easy to locate because of the severe roll over effect, you can get seriosly cliffed out. Oh yea, I will claim a line the "Toilet Bowl" area directly under the tram line, lookers right of Slyvester's. HInt, hint : don't tell anyone but this area is now in bounds and boundries have been expended at squaw everywhere.
I'll try to find another one. It does fill in more, but usually does not get much in the way of coverage. It is an absolutely insane area. Props to whoever laid it down, When I lived at Squaw I used to love seeing tracks on it in the morning. There is an account of a tram face descent gone wrong in Squawllywood which is scary.Quote:

Pretty sure skiing that face is a felony cuz of the houses below and potential avy danger. Im outta the Tahoe loop though...
Occasionally they open Shirley Canyon to the right of the cable-car which is accessed via Broken Arrow - I did the chute just off the picture. I suspect, then, that the Tram Face is rarely skied because it's hard, not because of avalanche danger - it's too steep to hold much snow. That, and ski patrol really don't want to be rescuing the thread starter from up there.Quote:

Both in skier caused slides and the ensuing bombing that would have to occur if they opened it.
