Grab your SL skis, get there early and leave after at a late lunch. At Kirkwood, bring the SL skis, then transition to a pair rock skis and go explore off chair 6...definitely feels like skiing....even though it's on a few inches of snow.
That stuff off of six is character building stuff, somehow kinda fun picking your way down though.Quote:

Still better than what the reports used to say in New Hampshire and Maine:
Granular
Frozen Granular
Refrozen Frozen Granular
Anybody notice where we all should be today?

yay!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unexpectedly fun day of off-piste skiing at Alpine today, with some fresh turns still to be had, if you knew where to look. They opened Hot Wheels and Weasel, which it in itself is not exciting, however, that allowed them to open up some more interesting terrain that leads in that direction.
Skis took a beating today though.
Heard Shirley and the Sibo (hike) at Squaw were fun yesterday as well. Everyone seems to be making the most of what has fallen so far, even if it is not much.
Stoked to see this thread starting to pick back up with pictures and beta from explorations and boring resort talk kept to a minimum. Keep it coming, if we keep getting out and having fun in the backcounty the snow will seemingly come sooner!
unpossible - great way to explain the unrolling of the whole ball of wax!!!!!
unpossible,
I took part in the same sorts of fun today. It seemed the farther you traversed, the more goods you got. Also, +more base dings. The p-tex is bridging the gap between minimum skiable snowpack and what we have now.
Actually, kinda fun getting jumpy and goaty at low speeds to avoid rocks and find the smooth line.
I'm trying out Sugar Bowl's uphill policy for 1st time tomorrow and then leaving until the 4th. Please let this bring some dumpage. I'm also planning a roadtrip to places with snow in mid-January if anyone's interested.
Please let us know how it goes at SB.Quote:

Yup, some "boring resort talk"...
NoStar was pretty good on Saturday.
Peeps were a bit more spread out.
Burnout & Drifter were still a blast. Over on Lookout not so much somehow, but worth a couple of shots, y'know?
In the afternoon they opened East Ridge, and a bunch of "Caution Thin Cover" runs leading under Comstock lift down to Rendevous lift (running).
Cin & I hit Powder Bowl off East Ridge. I liked it, but Cin felt she was hitting too much "stuff".
I thought it felt more like wood than rock, so was ok widdit.
At least they had a choice of runs (even Loggers Loop was open) spread around to mix it up a bit. But all mostly mellow of course.
Oh yeah. I got "busted" for speeding & skiing a snowmobile trail :rolleyes:
Got to meet the Mountain Safety Manager, and a cute 'troller boarder gal.
Also heading to Sugarbowl, but on Xmas Day (2 buses).
Funny. I'd have loved to have been there when you met those two. Owen says hi. Whole family down with flu, but maybe we can hook up next week.
Cheers!
