thanks for the new thread, mighty racoon face. stoked as hell for this season!
does anybody know of any alternatives to AT&T DSL for high speed interwebz at squaw (olympic valley)?
EDIT: since i just noticed this is my 1,000th post... i'll use it to announce i'm moving back to tahoe in 4 days!!!!!
^ Now did you move up here this year because Bill's has been cloned, creating the Golden Rotisserie option in Truckee...or was it the corny goodness of West Face?
Does Suddenlink serve Olympic Valley? That's the only alternative to ATT (damn their souls) in Truckee, except for satellite.Quote:

SuddenLink is worthless over the holidays and on busy weekend in Truckee.
^ We don't seem to have that issue in Sierra Meadows. It's clearly a problem in Tahoe Donner.
And ATT goes out when it rains, or when it feels like. After weighing the alternatives we decided with heavy heart to stay with ATT. Maybe someday the TDPUD will revive their plan to offer TV/Internet/Phone.Quote:

Hit this place up last evening and it's a winner. Their pilsner and white steam ale were both winners and the portobello fries were pretty damn bueno. It's in Reno, but worth the trip (plus it's in Midtown, which also boasts Chapel, Craft and the Reno Public House)

Says the guy who has lived in Truckee for... how long?Quote:

Sup dewdz. Everyone stoked for winter? Nah? Me neither. kthnx.
Movie tours this fall? TGR in Sac on 10/15 and SF on 10/22. McConkey in SF 10/14. Who else? Looks like the Triple Threat tour is only hanging out in the Rockies and PacNW. Sweetgrass in SF 11/14. Anybody else?

McConkey premiere at Squaw on 10/5.Quote:

Yo Thread!
Sorry for the minor Hijack.
Snowlands Network is having a couple of fundraisers around the SF Bay Area in a coupla weeks.
Showing a bunch of Adventure Movies (Banff Mtn Film Fest - World Tour).
http://snowlands.org/
Tix are $20, or $17 if you are an REI member & buy in advance.
Me & Cinders are going to the show on Thurs 9/26 at The Grand Lake Theatre as we live pretty close.
Any other LOakals gonna make an appearance?
There are a few bars around if you fancy a meet-up (Alley, Heart & Dagger, Easy Lounge)?
Or the green space across the street for something more free-form...???
Come on out, Maggots!!!
Now, I gotta give you a hard time TJ :cussing:
First off, it was featured on the TGR Front Page, here already!Quote:

That's where it was talked about - here it has no context.
Plus it is a mostly shitty video - I liked one pov bit. Plenty of slow-mo bollox for the troubled youth to enjoy...
Man what a waste! All that build, for a couple of runs :nonono2:
And while we're pitching fundraisers, a bit closer to Tahoe, one hour north....
The Lost Sierra Hoedown is on the schedule for September 20-22 at the Johnsville Ski Bowl. Here's the quick facts:
• 12 bands in Americana style
• Headliners: Dead Winter Carpenters, Good Luck Thrift Store Outfit, Miner, Rose's Pawn Shop
• Onsite and offsite camping
• Benefits the Ski Johnsville Fund, which hopes to re-open the area using the old Squaw Mainline lift.
• $50 weekend ticket includes a free Klean Kanteen pint cup
Here's a link to the latest promo piece at UnofficialAlpine. It features some 60's & 70's ski footage from Johnsville with music from Theodore Lovely, a local band that started in Truckee.
Here's the link to the Lost Sierra Hoedown site.
See ya there.
I resent the term Loakal.
Schralph and friends will be bike riding to the Grand Lake Theater.
Heart and Dagger Saloon after the show.
I hope $20 still buys "an arm's length" of raffle tickets ...
If Rod Dibble is still alive and tinkling the ivories (and according to the establishment's FB page, he is), I'd make a b-line to The Alley apres show and get all y'all's piano man karaoke on (the drinks there are cheap, the ambiance is unlike any other bar in the Bay Area, and Rod Dibble is the man on the keys).

More pre-season fundraising stoke spam.
^ Wish I could make that slideshow ... tell Todd and Doug I said what's up!
That also reminds me that I still owe Doug photos of bikini SUP action in the glacial arctic fjords ...
Switch to Valium, dude. ;-)Quote:

There are only two options in Olympic Valley, ttbomk: AT&T DSL (where you can get it; you can't in most of Alpine below Bear Creek Association) and Exwire. Suddenlink is supposed to be finalizing the rights of way to run fiber, but that's at least a year out.Quote:

On an unrelated topic... What's the current thinking on whether we have to pay the Cal Fire fee?
I thought the reason the old thread was so quiet was that everyone moves to padded room to talk about powdork's lease.
I have been training for 13/14 snow since Labour Day so that's my season start. Bring on the deep!
Jeebus there is a lot of chatter. It is surf season boys. After that we ski. Good news is these storms y'all are looking at will give us waves. So, yeah. That. Now I'll wait until the snow flies to return.
October skiing this year? we can only hope.

Anyone have 16 din sollys in awesome shape laying around that they don't want laying around?
Thanks,

Exact same thing happened to me, although not quite 22 years...Quote:
