Damn, all of this snow and the resorts won't open for several weeks. I guess it's time to finally pull the trigger on an AT setup.
Its snowing down the canyons all the way to valley floor by washoe lake.
4700'?
Hit up Kwood this am. Super fun snow. Sugar base, a good spackling of Sierra Cement & light dry pow over the top. that refresh last night put a great layer down. Get out & get some now people, before it's gone again.
Hit a lap with powhound and hoss at kwood. A few shaks with lazer beams lurking but so much fun for October 6th!
Still Dumping @ Tahoe Keys Marina. might have to try this weekend also
Kirkwood was the goods today. Glad to meet you, snapt & powdrhound (and bella).
What skis did you drag out, Hoss?
I feel like I'm being mocked. But if you must know, I went with the Gotamas. But don't think for a second that I didn't contemplate postholing up Kirkwood with those powder boards.
holy crap, where were you all?? ran into harpo the skier and a friend, as well as gimpy a bit later plus some non-mags (or maybe)
We were on the Pali side of the Avi line.

Here is a taste. No claims on video quality....
ahh, couldn't figure out where that crazy skin track was headin.
Not mocked at all. I figured you would use touring skis, but I bet the Powders would've been F-U-N.
was there at 6:30 & left at 10. we had 5 of us post hole sentinel to the top.
Hoss was that you this morning @ chair 7 as 5 knuckle draggers came down around 9:30.
I love early season sentinel turns.
nuthon good to hear your back on your board.
i was the 7th up sentinel, and i still had to put in the skin track. wtf?Quote:

^actually, i'm sad to say i was second. what schralph is alluding to is this vid
thanks man, though, with all that excitement it makes me wonder if we're acquainted? Thanks again for the vote of confidence.
