WANT POWDER!!! this weather blows for this time of year.
Ridefree, Shugs, Zippy, Jrosen32, and I basically skied West Shore all day...mid winter grippy steepness was had. Doing the same all over again tomorrow. The rest of Kirkwood was variable. Mid winter snow in North facing aspects, to freeze/thaw in Fingers/Pali.
I'd really like to see some of guermo's pics from pow on Dicks and Kalmia.Quote:

Always making good mtn. and slope choices Sierra Cement and gimpy. I would have run into you out there on that long S facing run if I didn't end up riding the flanks of the ancient Mt. Tehama volcano.
:fm:
when the fuck is it gonna snow again? this is retarded, i'm wearing a t-shirt, shorts and flip flops during the last weeks of winter. i'm ashamed!
Looks like we'll start getting precip on Monday.
March 22-27 is going to be epic though with waist deep pow since I will be in San Diego for spring break.
it's been summer time after work at the beach this week... without the swimming and all. but it is filled w/ posses of s.americans drinking booze, playing guitar, and spinning hippy sticks.Quote:

Update from 3-15-07
Believe it or not there is still shin deep powder on N, NE aspects in the right zones. Quite a pleasant surprise to ride some powder, porn, and corn in this heat. Git sum while you can because its going to be a long, hot summer.
WOOHOO!!! I'm heading up tonight...Quote:

Mt. Rose has a nice freeze thaw going. Home Wood offers fast smooth groomers and some nice tree corn in the 11AM till 2 PM range. Its good stuff but the cover is not deep. Get it now.
powder? what's that?Quote:

Do you even own a pair of skins?Quote:

Still good corn everywhere I've been this past week. Not as much has melted as one would think.
Oh yeah, I did find severe hardpack for my first time in Crescent Couloir. My dog actually slid the entire thing, tomahawking out at the bottom. Scary ass shit!:eek: He's a stud and was still able to charge all the way back to the car with me. Just a little cut on one hind leg, the real damage being his scratched corneas. His extreme skiing career began and ended with the same run. I'm just hoping he's not too traumatized to do more mellow shit in the future. He is healing up nicely.
When the Sierra Crest sensor at 8,700 ft has been in the high 30's through 50's the last week, you know that Tahoe hasn't been firin' :rolleyes:
Probably the same stuff that the Mrs. 666 shattered her ankle on in West Shore....same aspect. I'm working on the TR from that whole weekend, have been a little busy the last week. :)Quote:

Again, I am going away the third week of April. Then it will puke.

The remote sensors only paint a portion of the picture (air temp, wind speed, wind direction). They do not take into account the aspect, surface temp of the snow, core temp of the snow, and the effect that wind speed and direction play on given aspects. In other words, don't rely on them 100%.
Its best to go have a look for yourself. You could be pleasantly surprised. :)
3-15-07 pseudo powder skiing in Tahoe.
http://www.splitboard.com/TR_PICS/3-15-07/8.jpg
I'd be up there today, tomorrow, and yesterday if it wasn't for that little thing called work.
ps. Give my best to H and looking forward to a skierr666 TR. :yourock:
This week starting Monday night....
AT THIS TIME SNOW TOTALS IN THE SIERRA ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM 3 TO 8 INCHES WITH 1 TO 3 INCHES POSSIBLE TUESDAY AT LAKE LEVEL.
Full Frontal was in unbelievable shape today. Perfect mid-winter snow.
while we did indeed ski some powdery snow on thurs, ya gotta admit that the shin deep part was a bit of embellishment. unless you're talking about the bottom of your shin thats inside the ski boot;) .
while the overnight temps have been in the low 40's in the higher elevations w/ freezing temps at lake level w/ the inversion we've got going on, its still worth getting out. only the top 3-6"is freezing but its enough as long as you hit it early. skied perfect corn in echo bowl this morning at 9 and am going back for more manana.
whats/wheres full frontal arty???
Bzzzmp. Coming down hard in the City.
As it did on the Peninsula.
No. Wanna buy me a pair? Thanks honey! :yourock:Quote:

Where's the weekend TR?
...SO 1 TO 3 INCHES SEEMS REASONABLE FOR THE UPPER ELEVATIONS TODAY/EVE.....WARM UP ON THURSDAY WITH FAIR WX INTO SUNDAY...THEN NEXT STRONGER SYSTEM ARRIVES NEXT MONDAY INTO TUESDAY... THAT ONE HAS THE POTENTIAL OF A FOOT OR TWO....STAY TUNED!
k wood is calling for a foot tonight tomorrow...thank me...I leave for Colorado tomorrow...:nonono2:
