Today was the awesome
Settled pow on a sponge in fun lines w some,of my favorite people. There is def an entrance fee and an even bigger exit fee where we went but well worth the price. No instabilities to be seen. It started snowing just as we got to,the car. Hope these no hype storms this week over deliver. I suspect they will
i'll have to check on the $$ for the Gnarth kid's lesson, but they be cookin' up good ish for the kids these days: they have a regular menu, a vegetarian menu, a gluten free menu, and a dairy free menu: hell, they had grilled salmon with couscous the other day. WTF? No more Dinonuggets, that's for sure. Basically, the kids taking lessons eat better'n me...Quote:

Sorry for the off-topic post, but I'm looking to sell my K2 Obsethed's 179 with Small Dukes and K2 skins. Setup is MINTY, used three times (One resort day, two touring). After two blown knees I have made the transition to knuckle dragging and am only keeping one other pair of skis in case I get the itch again. Help me fund a splitboard! Message me for details, price, etc.
Carry on.
Today at Alpine it was snowing and the snow was white and wet and when you made turns it made a woooooosh! sound.
Excellent!Quote:

Light Ranger, your the closest, but it isnt the south face. I wouldnt recommend anyone dropping it unless you have scouted from multiple angles, thoroughly, as there are many dead ends and huge slide paths. but its amazing terrain and i dont think many people ever get after it. I rode that south facing gully off lincoln too and it was pretty fun meadow skipping, a good objective in bad vis/high avi danger.

SB was awesome all weekend. Hope these refreshers happen! I just left town so generally that means it's gonna snow. Stoked on POW, a base, more snow in the forecast ... let's go winter!
Has anyone been up in the Twin Peaks area? I've got a frame of reference for Rose and Donner...and based on the Obs from SAC from Grouse it looks deep.
Scoped it quite a bit from alpine the other day. I would say that the bottom may be a little rocky but passable, and the main north face/splitting gully looks great all the way. I was considering heading out there myself if I'd had the timeQuote:

Some fun small stuff to jump off, but still a little low tide. Saturday at SB, and Sunday across the highway. It's been snowing up in Truckee lightly all day. Refills should be plentiful.

I messed up. Don't ride Sugar Bowl much. Made the mistake of parking at Judah instead of Disney. Didn't get to Disney until it was fairly tracked out. But we got Sun Bowl when patrol dropped the rope.Quote:

It's still snowing tho, so I'm sure it will be 17" eventually.
Incessant marketing spew that's inaccurate more often than not. Deleted that app within a week or two of installing it.
Well, it is useful for checking out current lift status updates. Umm... or it could be if they bothered to ever update them mid-day anymore.Quote:

I deleted the app after the double notification this morning and the inability to disable notifications. DUMB.
The last two days at Alpine were F-U-N. Will be back there tomorrow.
Conditions looking good! Better than north lake area... IMO.Quote:

Well today didn't suck.
Airbag night tomorrow at Tahoe Mountain Sports in Truckee. More info: http://blog.tahoemountainsports.com/...series-at-tms/
Free inspections/refills for your airbag.
I'm looking to sell my 1st gen BCA Float 30 with canister if anyone is interested. I'll be there tomorrow night getting an inspection/refill and test firing before I sell it.
I can't even tell if you still have my color pants.Quote:

relay was tits today, perfect windpress, fast and surfy, even some sun. Thinking tomorrow should be good up on the summit! With all this good snow we have been given I might actually be ready for some actual riding when leave for cham in a few weeks!
A couple of good incidents worth reading were posted to the SAC Incidents page yesterday evening.
There were a few tracks in that north bowl off castle on Sunday. Looked good back there, but we made the call not to ski it, and head closer to the car. Glad to hear that nobody was hurt in the two incidents.Quote:
