tahoe firing!!!!

:confused: :mad: :cussing:

bwah whatever, there will still be some snow...

SHORT TERM...
MY FEARS FROM YESTERDAY OF A SLIGHTLY NORTHERN SHIFT OF THE UPCOMING
STORM SYSTEM HAS COME TRUE AND WILL RESULT IN A DECREASE IN THE
AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION FOR THE SIERRA...ESPECIALLY FROM AROUND TAHOE
SOUTH. WE CANT SEEM TO BUY A BREAK THIS WINTER ON GETTING DIRECT
HITS FROM WHAT LOOK TO BE PROMISING SYSTEMS ONLY TO HAVE THEM
SPLIT...FIZZLE OR SHIFT AT THE LAST MINUTE TO LESSEN THE BLOW.

dammit!!! i was hoping this thread wouldn't be brought back to the surface again.

I encourage the writer of this thread to delete it, for it is part of the reason we keep getting shitty warm weather and splitting storms!

perhaps you should start a tahoe drought thread, then you won't know what to blame....gonna be dumpin' somewhere in the sierra soon......snowing on the crest above bishop as of .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ..............now

perhaps.................

still snowing in Squaw...big storm tonight! possibly 3" on my deck. line up is going to be huge tomorrow...so stoked!!

Looks pretty good to me this morning , a foot of new.

wahoo! 10" on my deck in the valleyand more up top! time to go skiing!

Just got home...it was good, REAL GOOD!!!!!! 12" up top and blown in deeper in places. so much fun! really stoked to be skiing soft snow again.

Wow... out of nowhere.. hopefully it was enoguh to cover all the icy moguls. There could be more coming over the next 4-5 days.:smile:

Where was this shit in March when we had a base?!? Better late than never.

Cause just when I thought dawn patrols in the pow were a thing of the past.....we got some very light and dry on Carson Pass this AM. Over 1' in places and fun as hell. The scratchy base was hardly noticed and/or deep enough to forget about.

I don't really like this type of weather in April, but it's been a nice routine as of late - ski shallow but fun pow, Ride nice tight single track. Repeat.

I had to stop and take a pic of my friend just to prove to myself that it was powder...

PS - it's dumping again right now!!!

wow. I did NOT see that one coming. Damn, longboard day might be REALLY challenging in powder and jeans....

Heavenly did not suck (for a change).

Hopefully you guys get the blower pow & CA sunshine - not the wet, knee-blowing kind & clouds we got ;)

:smile:


Kirkwood was actually alright. Perhaps because it was my first time on skis in a couple of weeks. The snow was definitely super-blower, but many nasties just under the 8+ inches.
I think I'll check out the pass tomorrow with the pooch.
Keep it coming Ullr.

the skiing at squaw was pretty damn good. the slot and c2 were smooth. break it out was a.o.k. with face shots earlier in the day. slim was christmasy. it was nice!

Photo from today at Squaw Valley USA International Mountain Resort.

Mr. Dobbs on the left and Mr. Basom on the right.

i'm in the same pic as dobbs!
i've made it!

Sanity check from Alpine. 6-8", nasty crust underneath. But no crowds. Life was good.

has anyone been out to h20 house the last couple of days?
i've heard rumors that it's actually been o.k. but i have my doubts. i was thinking of hiking up there after work to find out.

What did I tell you months ago and over and over?

I'm not complaining but whenever I leave Tahoe in ski season it pukes.
Enjoy! :)

that may be, but I think it'll be alright. I was doin' the anti jinx stuff all winter, and that wasn't really workin either. So, I've decided that me typing on my lil' ol' computer isn't going to do anything to some big cloud 7 hours away.

If you actually typed out that storm warning then it might not jinx us. If it twas a cut-n-paste we're prolly fucked.

hopefully the valves of the pacific have finally opened and we get some of the wonderful gulf of alaska storms instead of the crappy pineapple express rain/snow storms!!!

ahem motherfucker

fingers crossed......kirkwood was good today can it be better tomarrow?????

I now greatly regret being responsible and driving back to the Bay after LBD. Tomorrow will probably be the shizzzzz... it was raining hard pretty much all the way down from KW.

Looks like I'm ending my lift-served season on 217 DH boards, not pow boards.

Huh, I didn't think it was raining all that hard anywhere on my way back...although the drive was gapertastic, perhaps a strange tribute to LBD.

ok, maybe my wipers just suck or something. But I seem to remember getting rained on pretty steadily from the foothills to the bay. The only places I didn't get rained on were at KW to about 6500 (because it was snowing) and then a stretch near Jackson. Either way, it looks pretty steady now!

I could use a Bartles and James now BTW.

Uh, "steady" and "hard" in my book, are two different things. It was steady. The skiing today was hard. core.

And don't say I didn't offer the B&J....I now have 3 left that I will drink in secrecy.

yes, and I quickly learned my lesson. I think everyone in TGR is familiar with NOAA and knows how to use it. No reason to post the warnings in threads. Everyday during ski season I hop on the internet to check the weather in hopes of seeing powder in the near future. I'm sure most people in these forums do the same. It's redundant to cut and paste the alerts, we already know.

Prevent jinxing from happening!

Not true. there are plenty of people who don't bother to check , or don't do it nearly as often as you do, so this would be the first place they would hear about it. Extrapolating own behavior to everyone else is what often keeps good ideas from being developed.
