Ya stoked for tomorrow
Vail patrol union says the problem started with corporate deciding to send managers to park city ahead of the strike. Not only did they make it obvious they would rather compromise on guest safety than work with the union to retain more experienced staff, vail also chose to ruin guest experience at multiple mountains. Park City ops has been a dumpster fire this week.Quote:

You sound like a lot of fun. The idea was to figure out something minimalist so we don't regret packing it if we can't get the other guests to participate or at least thumbs up the singing. I'm sure there will be an out-of-tune guitar there that we can wail on.Quote:

Yesterday Rose Knob vicinity skied great- 6"+ of wind buff with another couple inches of pow on top with bluebird up high. Very springy stuff, catapulted from one turn to the next- airborne transitions were pretty standard. Little drops here and there were super fun, never felt the crust underneath. Dug a quick pit, no surprises. South faces were expectedly getting wet/heavy by noon. just about 2500' vert over two laps, could've done that again given how much fun I was having, but it isn't about me as the girlfriend isn't acclimated to the higher elevations yet this season so called it early.
Overall, things were very stable which is good given the crowd showing up for the best snow of the holiday week. It was BUSY- to be expected. relatively very busy in the hinterland of the Mt Rose backcountry, where I would expect nobody on a Monday otherwise.
To OG's credit, your proposal sounded perilously close to the "bluetooth speaker dangling from the backpack on the trail" phenomenon that we all love so much.Quote:

Can anyone verify? They still don't have the East Peak web cam back online.
Anyone been out from High Meadows Trailhead towards Trimmer this year? Whats the snow on the ground situation looking like?
Actually I love singing (but I doubt you would love my singing). I like sitting around with a guitar with folks singing the boomer classics.Quote:

One time skiing the Vallee Blanche we stopped for lunch at the Requin hut and were serenaded by a group of guides singing traditional songs in excellent 4 part harmony.
the trail out to Castle Valley was groomed by TNSAR snocats out doing training with the CHP helicopter - had a good view of the air show today - super easy traveling on the groomer
skied the northwest trees on Castle down into Round Valley, climbed back out to Castle Pass, then went up the ridge to Andesite and out down the east facing trees
great snow in the shade - good surface and near-surface recrystallization last night - the skiing was really good

If you lost your dog in Judah ridge area, I spotted it this morning at 08:30 sheltering in the rocks at the summit. I didn't get closer than 30 feet and it bolted. I looked around for ~15minutes but couldn't find. Hopefully it took off west toward resort. Looked like a labradoodle with white/redish coloring. Text me if you want to talk more

called SB patrol and sounds like they've been looking for this dog, so probably wandered up from the resort.
same tour as yesterday with similar conditions - the stuff in the trees stayed good, while the stuff that got a little sun on it yesterday got a little crust

fkn junk show trying to get out of the Castle Peak snopark this afternoon - multiple fuckups fucking up and blocking traffic - I feel bad for the families driving in to the end of the lot and turning around and coming back out - one guy told me it took him over an hour to cycle through for nothing
it’s a drag because there’s really not anywhere for the tourists to sled but they block the road and parking for backcountry users - walking back I saw a carload of skiers pull in and look like they were going to bail so I talked to them and waited for them to get to where I was parked so they’d have a space
^ Strong work Shug & Mikey B!
It was a whole lot stormier than I anticipated this morning, cut my solo plans short and headed back to kirkwood. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3d0637caec.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...5f2c3b876a.jpg
I think it took me 10-15 minutes to get out around noon, I had parked right across from the porta potties. I was just laughing at the absurdity and entertainment the whole time. The 4 cars in line in front of me were backing out the whole way.Quote:

KW was a lot of fun today. Much better skiing than expected. And no one around. A few friends. Mashed potatoes and his boys. The slopes were empty.
I really enjoy my Wrenegades but they work my legs sooooo much more than my Wildcats.
It was misting along KW Meadow Drive and hour ago. Deck thermo read 33F. Who knows what is happening upslope at this point. Looks like tomorrow gets warm.

Full disclosure. Chair 7 and 5 were packed. The base areas were crowded. But it was ski right on to all the other lifts and after a few inches of morning snow and wind, the hill was buffed.
Looks a bit wet out there this morning but way more cars pulling in.
I'm more excited about the meteor shower viewing tonight than the slopes today. Tho that sunshine is gonna feel good. One more day and then back to the surf.

Grab bag of wintry conditions out and about. Glad we’re getting a cold topper before the high pressure sets in.

Kirkwood was not good today. It rained overnight and then froze. They had to delay opening for 30 min to re-groom. A few soft zones around if you knew where to look but too firm to open the wall or sentinel road. What a difference a day makes as yesterday was great. Hopefully 666 brings the snow!
So I would be wasting my time tomorrow (friday). I don't mind adventure skiing but if it is shitty... Heavenly was a zoo today. I have other things I could doQuote:

It is dumping at the moment at Donner Lake. About 4 inches so far.
traffic / chain silliness in town
KW groomers (Zach's and Sentinel) we excellent from 9am till 10am.
If you like fast and smooth and just edge-able enough to be really fun. No one out early (well TC looked busy when I left). Grey, windy and empty.
Snow started as we pulled out of the valley at noon. Dumping down to 5500'.
Looks like 666 has brought the snow.
BTW I disagree with Mashed about conditions yesterday. We had a ton of fun playing in sunny zones with soft spring like snow tho not slushy.
And my kid and I even skied Two Man for a legit double as it was slide for life conditions over there. And then had to take Olympic to the shuttle with Sentinel closed.
Looks good for tomorrow. A fun week of resort skiing.
And yeah, the 1st was all time wind buff with not a whole lot of people around.
