Fun, but a bit of a let down, not superlight pow, kind of sticky. Guess I'm becoming a pow snob after 9 big days. Granite Wednesday was the highlight.Quote:

Hey does any mag know of a, like, higher-altitude place in the Tahoe area? I'll bet a factor like that would make all the difference...
I think Trimmer peak, especially thte upper half, holds some of the coldest powder. Gimpy and Sierra Cement, do you agree?
Found a pic of Zippy on my cam from 2/24. Since this thread isn't quite long enough...here it is.

Thimble/Cirque: probably KW ski patrol controlled release

Mend up quick all you injured folks.
As long as we are covering old business on Tahoe firing, Get a load of what they did to Thimble Peak above the Sunrise Lift at Kirkwood. Huge crown and ripped to the ground.

Hey Cirque, what day was that? Haven't gotten back there since mid storm last weekend...
I am almost positive that they bombed thimble and caused that slide on '99 steps' on Tuesday of last week.
Biggest crown I have ever seen. Had to be 10ft+ on Wednsday when I rode chair 4. Slide debris all the way down to the flats under chair 4.
well it looks like winter came in for a quickie and left the second he was finished. weather report predicts a high of 60 degrees next weekend...
Welcome to spring skiing in Tahoe - Guys in bikinis, girls with their shirts off, and snow that is as corny as Kansas in August. :wink:Quote:

I have a few more pics to add to this thread... These are all from Alpine Meadows on 3.1...
Nice work, ISP21.
Thread title edit...
Tahoe Temps Firing!!!!
No kidding 6'er. 64 degrees on Sunday! 65 on Monday:( .
Gimpy and I were an hour early for the quality corn run this AM on Red Lake. Since we had job duties we couldn't chill in the sun and wait for the thaw. So instead we did 2,500' of firm snow foot massage, joint loosening, filling shaking skiing. I should have brought ear plugs!
Definitely freeze thaw up to 10,000'.

we were skiing at 8 am and even w/ a clear sunny sky it was just barely edgeable. weird cause its usually fine by then, but i think 9:30-10 would have been ideal today. methinks that the little bit of precip/rain we got yesterday caused the pack to really freeze hard last night. on teus i skied a lesser known corn run on tallac and it was pretty good by 8 but the pack wasn't nearly as consolidated as red lakes.
and yeah lph, we were skiing the east face of red lake but not the gully itself.
some more pics related to the above...

Phew! It made driving up to skiing in my Mustang so uncomfortable! :rolleyes2Quote:

Rumor has it you guys hooked the NeoGeo machine up to the autopilot and just let it do the flying.Quote:

Tahoe firing blanks...:biggrin:
Got some nice powder today on Dick's / Kalmia Ridge. Of course I also skied Mank , Breakable crust , and good corn.
Tahoe's firing off fields of corn. Skied 2500' of it off the back of Round Top with gimpy. Had to ski the Crescent on our way back to the car since it was on the way. It was mostly chalky.
Reporting from hicamp :
clear and a balmy 40.
