That seems like an argument FOR snowmaking.

I don't think Vail would do something just to waste money. Isn't that why they close in the spring? So they don't "waste money" on locals?


Anyways, I'm not really here to argue about snowmaking. Just here for the stoke...

Stoke...more like Smoke. Its been horrendous around SF and the Bay...especially today. Closest I am to skiing is getting the family's ski shit sorted and attempting to drum up some TR stoke from last season. Damn kids growing too fast.

But at least my mind is there...

At least we have had only one day of smoke

Monday

Today it was clear but the smoke was set in just down hwy 50 at lovers leap today

I see what you did there.
Fuck the Great Fucking Satan! Long live the EURO. Go Macrōn!

Now the latest runs have the moisture back on the 21st. Typical Tahoe weather waffle.

What, I think.

☆Tahoe Resorts. Wrod Report for this Weekend.☆

Whatchya got?

Looks like MT ROSE has a groomer from the top [emoji41] fingers crossed.
Kit Carson traverse/KC bowl. A solid blue. Opening Friday, for the season.
NB: 580 between CC and Rose Hwy is closed this Sat & Sun morning.
Dunno if any lift-tix specials.

HEAVENLY is opening Friday too. Snowmaking on East Peak, they say.
Assuming access from Gondi (parking is a hassle).
Hope for a coupla runs off Dipper lift. But maybe just one under Tamarack lift?

NORTHSTAR on Friday also. Not much info up tho.
Usually they have Skid Trail, off Vista lift, as wrod.
On cams can see beginner area by Hot Springs Lodge has snow.

ALPINE MEADOWS will have Kangaroo lift running. Not so bad under there. Could be worse (subway/meadow).

Man oh man. We come to SQUAW VALLEY.
As far as I can tell, only First Ventures carpet will be running (...and you thought Gold coast was bad...[emoji53])
I remember them having a wrod off Red Dog lift for a few seasons. That rocked!!
Oh, and lift-tix specials for "only" $50...

BOREAL is open right now!

That's all I got. Please share your intel.
Any skiing before first week in December is a bonus in my book!

We plan on hitting up Rose on Friday.
Might try HV or NS on Sunday.

I think we need to rename this thread Make Tahoe Deep Again...

All through therapy, i was fired up to make Friday at Squaw my ‘return’ day. Looking at the webcam today, my fire for tomorrow has faded.
That little strip and the associated clusterfack, I will wait and heal a bit more.

I finally pulled the trigger on a new bike. So it'll definitely snow heavily soon.

If WRODS ain't your thang, there's always the Sac Ski/Snowboard Fest this weekend.
The email they sent me (have no idea how I got on their list) promises lots and lots and lots of beer...and lift tickets, too.

Okay, thing are seriously out-of-whack when Houston is reporting snow...

I'm about to buy a second new bike this fall.

Dump, dammit!

Howard and BA are cautiously optimistic. WW nerds are all over the place.

Do I even dare post the CPC outlook?

1” of water over three or four days, with snow levels 6500-7000. I’m appreciative of some precip but it’s not giving me any woohoos.

At this point, beggars can't be choosers.

I dare...
