What the fork is up with that fork? How much travel? Tahoe BC?
Reminds me of stuff from 20 years ago. ^^
Did I just read that Kirkwood closed the backside today for the season? Ugh.
Y couloir in Sonora pass. Is the river crossing a problem on a snowy year?
Try the Sonora Pass thread...
I know. But trust you guys. ^ Some
I meant to mention that. A lofty told me on Tuesday. Welcome to the new Vailwood, where they don't even tell you in advance anymore because they know how much they suck for closing so early.
If you are going to close in mid May, at least keep it all running.
kW used to close 2,3,4 two weeks before closing. So that timing is not new. It's just the whole place will shit down in two weeks.
BTW, TC closes next Sunday.
For a change of pace we went poking around the North side of the lake starting from a hood in Incline, for the most part we found the terrain to be pretty mellow, but the views are big and the corn was smooth. But to keep things interesting we found a couple features to play on and built a booter. Still happy to be based out of the south shore ;)

Sonora Pass at the hairpin...on big years, there's a nice snow bridge. As it melts out, so does the water level...and if you are really concerned you can always start at the top of the pass and then get a little wet on your exit. Even on a big year, the river was only up to my knees and thus doable.
Here's a little blog from that wintery storm day a week ago...
