Curious where the snowline is now that the main road thru the park is closed???
Check the Lassen/Shasta forum as well. But this is worth watching too:

How is squaw going to open in 5 days?
Hell how would they open by the 18th?
65 degrees, everyday till..
They won't open. They changed it from the 11th to the 18th. And theyre still saying "weather and conditions permitting". My guess is they won't open until another storm rolls in and keeps everything cold.Quote:

Mammoth looks to be somewhat decent though, all things considered.
We scored pretty good yesterday, including a new setup for the sprouting 11 yo (4 buckle heads and goats) for less than $100!Quote:

That is A+ stoke. Great skiing and so cool that the guy rode it all in summer conditions 9 days before.Quote:

Was that the one at the school? I've also been to one at the Nordic center. Auburn ski club used to have one, too.
Will definitely be going to mammoth on fridayQuote:

Which lift were you referring to Ott? Just curious...

Woods Lake road still open?
Yea I thought it was worthwhile. The road to Woods was open last Thursday and I cant imagine it has changed since.

Anyone know Jim Hames, he's a drunk recluse that lives on ski run and terry. He has rooms. Last I heard he was involved in police standoff holding his tenant hostage with a knife. He can be seen on the 1st of the month at the casinos. I got him banned for life from nepheles
Lol
Maybe. I was never gone for more than 10 days mid season and never saw it running or with pomas attached If you can't run a lift for at least two months a season, it is a waste of money and poorly placed. Ive said it before, those toes would be better utilized pulling people from the day lodge to the base of 1/11. They placed those lifts in a wind tunnel. Stoopid.Quote:

Surf is pumping.
Those dogs seem to love their work. Powder day at Alpine, 3 women get on the Summit 6, patroller and his dog ask us to wait so they can board the next chair. At the last second the dog jumps on with the 3 women, leaves the patroller behind. Hey, no friends on powder days.Quote:

Ill second the surf statement, am in HMB, waiting to see when the mavericks thing goes down....I think we are talking about the same lifts at Kwood...mis-remembered the type of lift on that ridge furthest south, atop what I referred to as Wagon wheel? again totally unfamiliar with the names of most of the mountain, etc, but yes, that was a Poma(not J bar), and is almost completely unnecessary, though I prefer getting a lift in that direction if its available... while the tbar is directly above the top station of #2? accesses some fun drops right there, whether headed left after the tbar or right...
I hadn't really had the terrain knowledge to really have an opinion of where various lifts SHOULD be there, I rode those two when open and operatin' last year...anyone with any more info on chair 6? are we at a fifty fifty that it will be running on opening day? better odds?
At least there's snow in the forecast.
Is this an event, or just a big swell coming in? I'm not a surfer, but am going to be in the area in the next couple of days and would like to watch if possibleQuote:
