Dude, I'm too old for that kind of line. :o
Anyway, the Mantras with wall to wall pretty much stomped up the track, while lots of folks were side-stepping. The run down was pure goodness about 2/3 of the way, before it started to consolidate and crust underneath. Great day.
wasnt me...mighta been gimpy. :biggrin:
ps. glad to hear it was still good. :)
This morning Mt Rose East Bowl lift was the most crowded I've seen since I moved here. The slopes were fairly empty. Oddly, it dramatically thinned out around noon and stayed that way for the rest of the day.
Even odder, same pattern at Alpine. Well, not the most crowded in the morning, but definitely thinned out after about 11:30.Quote:

Isn't more snow predicted for ..... don't want to jinx and say when.
Move right long....nothing to see here.Quote:

I guess you didn't ski West Shore, Thunder Bowl, High Traverse in Eagle, Hells in Thunder Saddle, Upper Cham, and Ski School. Sunday = RadGnar.Quote:

^^^^ what he said. Sunday was firmer in places, but hurt less overall.Quote:

Bogey's & 1 man were money, but I only took the ride twice though after the Wave. It's just such a long ass time to get back over there. :( Didn't touch Eagle at all.Quote:

There are plenty of holes in the desert, and a lot of problems are buried in those holes.Quote:

You could be there all fuckin' night.
Yeah, I remember that. I remember thinking, "Hey they're going kind of easy on him".Quote:

Skied Sunday at Alpine with StormDay. The snow was actually pretty good. I think all the wind from the days after the storm sucked moisture out; also the temps stayed cold all day; snow the trees, even in the sun was not melting. Onehotchili was rumored to be there, but didnt see him.
Unfortunately I had to leave this morning to come back to Sacto...it was starting out like yesterday; bluebird and below freezing even after 10, in Truckee. Hope some people got some.
minddoc you make myself want to start riding tele, with that filthy mouth of yours. But thats not the point, because I know people who ride tele and I like them. But I think hop should lay some tele turns into your throat and all will be resolved....:FIREdevil :FIREdevil :FIREdevil :FIREdevil :FIREdevil
The snow was soooooo much better on Saturday. Of course, the visibility up top on Saturday sucked proverbial ass, while Sunday was positively bluebird. But the upside of the bad visibility (now that I think about it) was the gapers' abandonment of Summit, leaving me to lap D7 and points left until my quads ceased working.Quote:

Then, for my warm-up run, I hiked to Upper Beaver or Estelle (I'm not sure which; I don't know the mountain well enough yet) for what looked to be sweet untracked from afar but turned out to be crud.
My wobbly aging legs laughed at me. And it was one of those really shrill, evil laughs. I didn't start to cut turns right until around 11am, right before picking up my daughter to have lunch. Then she and I did a couple of runs down Sherwood.
Back side snow conditions were "eh" by early afternoon, but that was my first venture back there and I was hooked not withstanding the mix of crust and crud. I'm really looking forward to hitting it on a powder day. My wife wasn't up this weekend, and hasn't seen the back side yet, but I described Sherwood to her as Sun Bowl at Squaw, but twice as long, five times as wide, no suck-ass traverse at the end, fast lift back up, and a better view of the lake to boot. What could be bad?
I hit South Face around 12:30. Given how well sun spot was holding up, I was a little surprised on how heavy it was getting. I managed to find some patches of 2-4" of uncut that were good for 5-6 turns a pop. (Mantras handled the nasty snow pretty well.) The backside needs another storm with >6" of snow or for warm weather to corn it up before it will be good.Quote:

Estelle: There is usually a sign on the hike and a extra little climb to make.
For MLK weekend, I’ll be at Alpine from Thurs thru Mon (12/12 thru 12/16). Wife and kids are going to the in-laws, so I’ll be getting some full days in without kid duty.Quote:

Orange sign says "Estelle" or "Estelle Bowl". It is usually about 1/3 the way up the last climb to Estelle.Quote:
