Thanks for the recs about Dr A. Are they a skier?
You are absolutely the worst person I can think of for advice about taking care of skis.Quote:

They obviously recently updated the site (by the looks of it they did an update around 11::33…) eek:
I'd say so ;)Quote:

To be fair, most of those resorts aren't actually in Tahoe.Quote:

Their site presently has zero info regarding ticket prices for opening day or links to purchase tix. Additionally they don’t clarify if Opening Day is for everyone or just pass holdersQuote:

I didn’t click that because I didn’t want to buy a lesson package. :biggrin:
Then the next section tells you the times for Full Day and Half Day tix, but no prices.
The whole site is clumsily displayed, imho.
But $119 for three runs? No thank you!
I’m sorry, but if you only have 4% of the hill open, your ticket price should be well under $100…
Since this is the parking bitch thread, pour one out for the folks parallel parked behind Florida Man, who backed into them so hard he drove off with their front license plate stuck to his bumper.

I do think given it's only three runs you could choose the am or pm version for $90 or $59.Quote:

Dookey...I think I am in for couple of weekday afternoons at Rose next week. I don't know that i need a full day at $119 just for KC and Pondo.

If I recall correctly, last year they opened for the weekend then closed for a few days midweek before opening again the following weekend, with daily operation thereafter.Quote:

At present on the Rose website they are selling advance tickets for every day of the week through November 30th…
Is that the inscrutable one from earlier? [emoji12]Quote:

Contemplating Mammoth this weekend, but not sure it's worth the drive.
In other news: PT is starting ski teams the second week of Dec this year with on-snow training for coaches two weeks before. Could make for a few spicy days if it doesn't snow much before them. :rolleyes2
I’ll probably be in Tahoe City Nov 17-8
hopefully enough next week to take the girl meadow skipping
snow was very nice today. got a decent freeze making a little base layer with some graupel on top

Just got back from the double feature and it was a treat. I have to say 'Here, Hold My Kid' was the winner but it's probably just because Elyse is so much better at not competing.
right on

Went up to Rose in the afternoon. Skiing was what I expected. One run with firm man made and bumps. It felt crowded at times, but emptied out late in the day. The pic makes it look better than it actually was. Good for 10 runs.
^^ Us too. The lift line in the am looked real bad on cam.
We dug out our old BRO's for rock skis.

i was up at Rose yesterday AM and it was fun to get on skis again but super congested.
Today on the other hand, we went up to Downieville this morning and Big Boulder-->3rd Divide was about as good as I've ever hit it.
Wow! That was fun!!!
Go tomorrow! You won't be disappointed!
hey ski team! a personal ad for the new season:
i've got a kirkwood ski lease with two spots to fill - it's a house in the valley, walking distance to the lift, 4br/3ba (& garage!!!) with 8 quality current members. We're looking for a couple or family or few friends. The current house crew is in the 30-40 age range, cool, respectful and pretty decent skiers.
Lease runs from Dec - April. If you or someone you know is looking for a ski house like this, drop me a pm!
EDIT! Typo'd the lease dates, it's 5 months from December 1 to April 30
On the cinematic tip, Full Circle, the documentary about Barry Corbet (“Corbet’s Couloir”) and Trevor Kennison is currently screening at the Galaxy Victorian in Sparks…
Schedule of shows this week:
https://www.galaxytheatres.com/movie...an/FULL-CIRCLE
Here’s more about the film:
https://fullcirclefilm.co/
Sinecure and I made 15 laps at Rose today for 15k vertical feet and 15 miles on skis. I made approximately 750 turns. Sinecure made about 50. Skiing is fun. The season is off to a start, a slow start, but it is something.
^wait, you made more turns than Sinecure?!?!?!
I am finding that moderately hard to believe…:biggrin:
Rax?
Aye yo!
Go see FULL CIRCLE if you can.
It’s at the Galaxy Victorian in Sparks through Thursday.
Also coming to the Galaxy Fandango in Carson City on 12/1/23.
