Tahoe firing blanks...:biggrin:
Got some nice powder today on Dick's / Kalmia Ridge. Of course I also skied Mank , Breakable crust , and good corn.
Tahoe's firing off fields of corn. Skied 2500' of it off the back of Round Top with gimpy. Had to ski the Crescent on our way back to the car since it was on the way. It was mostly chalky.
Reporting from hicamp :
clear and a balmy 40.
i enjoyed the vast amounts of rippable corn at alpine today, but it can wait till late april and may.
WANT POWDER!!! this weather blows for this time of year.
Ridefree, Shugs, Zippy, Jrosen32, and I basically skied West Shore all day...mid winter grippy steepness was had. Doing the same all over again tomorrow. The rest of Kirkwood was variable. Mid winter snow in North facing aspects, to freeze/thaw in Fingers/Pali.
I'd really like to see some of guermo's pics from pow on Dicks and Kalmia.
In the meantime here's gimpy and I on Round Top from Saturday:

SC, that TR is worthy of its own thread. I hope you will put it up.
Tahoe firing...one storm system and we are still using the thread. :(
We are deep in to spring skiing now and by the end of the week we should be about where we were at then end of April last year, Get some while you can.
Some great shots back there. Nice to see some wintery snow still exists.
Always making good mtn. and slope choices Sierra Cement and gimpy. I would have run into you out there on that long S facing run if I didn't end up riding the flanks of the ancient Mt. Tehama volcano.
:fm:
when the fuck is it gonna snow again? this is retarded, i'm wearing a t-shirt, shorts and flip flops during the last weeks of winter. i'm ashamed!
Looks like we'll start getting precip on Monday.
March 22-27 is going to be epic though with waist deep pow since I will be in San Diego for spring break.
it's been summer time after work at the beach this week... without the swimming and all. but it is filled w/ posses of s.americans drinking booze, playing guitar, and spinning hippy sticks.
it does look like it is going to cool down beginning of next week though.
and then after work beers at the beach will discontinue.
Update from 3-15-07
Believe it or not there is still shin deep powder on N, NE aspects in the right zones. Quite a pleasant surprise to ride some powder, porn, and corn in this heat. Git sum while you can because its going to be a long, hot summer.
one last shot...let's hope we got our usuall april dumps....
"THE WINTER THAT NEVER WAS MAKES ONE LAST HURRAH WITH SMALL FRONT AND UPPER TROF PASSAGE MONDAY NIGHT/TUESDAY.....WEDNESDAY LOOKS COOL AS WELL....A FEW INCHES OF SNOW POSSIBLE OVER THE UPPER ELEVATIONS.....THEN SPRING SHIFTS INTO HIGH GEAR WITH MORE ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS BY WEEKS END AND BEYOND
ohhhh. big pow day.
