Putting the TGR bat signal out there. Does anyone have a lift tower they don't need? I've come into possession of a gondola and want to mount it on a lift tower on the side of hwy 89.
Not sure where you're going with this, but it sounds awesome!!!Quote:

:D
you might see young Owen (tall Owen) on the Rose WROD next week
Not going to the Rose WROD. But I am going to Mammy next weekend. Other Tahoe Mags going?
I might go in two weeks assuming they'll have more open by then.Quote:

I took this during a rare gap in the crowds. It’s much busier than this pic makes it look.
I think I’ll pass on Saturday & Sunday.

Mount Rose third day report...yah kind of the proverbial early season shitshow. Warm weather the last two days then a refreeze last night presented the firmest conditions of this young season. Saw it all today, people walking down KC, people taking a slide for life down KC, multiple patrol calls, the usual. Still skiing is fun. Hopefully Rose gets some reset Monday. It doesn't look like this little storm has much forcing past the crest.
Question for y'all - getting my daughters 4runner ready for her move to Truckee this winter. The rig has 4 new Michelin X-Ice snows mounted on it - whats the locals pick for a set of chains for her to have in the rig? Never had to deal with Chains here in the Tetons..... She'll mostly be driving to Palisades 5-6 days/wk. TIA!
With 4wd and proper snow tires she’ll likely never need to put chains on. Still required to carry chains by law, but if it were me I’d probably just get something basic to meet the legal requirement.Quote:

It will be nice to not hit rocks on every turn

In 35 years living in Truckee w a 4wd I've never needed chains or been checked. OTOH I was never in a situation where I had to go out no matter how bad the roads. My son worked a couple of years as a patroller at OV and never needed chains although he did do a 360 one morning going in to do snow safety. I believe there may be times when 4wd with chains is needed to go up and down Northwoods to Tahoe Donner, and a friend of mine has needed chains to go up his driveway in TD. Unless work or home involves a hill I wouldn't bother buying chains. The biggest obstacle for us is not traction but too much snow/not enough clearance and then there's no choice but to wait for the plow. People occasionally get snowed in for a day or two if they live on a low priority road.
4WD with chains (R3) can theoretically be imposed. The freeway will shut before that happens and I don't think the local roads even have a sign for it. I suppose if you were in an accident or in a ditch the CHP might cite you for no chains. The only place I've ever seen a chain checkpoint is getting on the freeway and going up old 40 to Sugar Bowl and no one has ever even asked if I have chains.
With 4WD, or AWD, I've never carried chains in Tahoe.
99% of the vehicles in the area with 4WD do not carry chains. Technically it’s required by law but in the same way that jay-walking is illegal. Major roads will just close before that point.
Going up and down Northwoods isn’t really an issue - that lower half of Northwoods probably gets more attention than any other road in Truckee. I’ve really only ever had one sketchy occurrence there with dust on slush conditions.
Also, I’ve learned when things are super sketchy it’s best to just park at the very bottom of your driveway. My driveway isn’t even very steep but I’ve been woken up during the night by my truck’s alarm because it slid back down to the bottom. And I have good tires.
Me neither. As pointed out ... roads close before it even becomes a possible issue.Quote:

Snowing at bottom of northstar but not sticking.

At sport haus in Truckee. Look like 191 or so.

I've seen Northwoods closed a handful of times over the years. Now that I think of it, that's instead of requiring chains which no one has. They just send people to Alder Creek.Quote:

The power just came back on in Galena and it looks like the Calahan fire is contained at 100 acres.

I don't get it, the Cal base lot is tiny, where are we supposed to park? In Nevada?
it’s weird
it’s almost as if they don’t want people to just buy a pass and go skiing
But wait, there's more...
MEYERS, Calif. – A restless crowd demanded answers and solutions from the district offices of El Dorado County on Thursday night, after learning that snow removal services would be far more limited than in years past. The main reason for these limited operations lies in the lower pay offered to potential snow removal employees.

Could be a rough season on the south side. Better dust off that old cross country gear.
Thirty years driving around Tahoe and I've been asked to see chains once. It was 11pm and I was headed over Brockway in a blizzard to go to the bar with a car full of friends. The moral of that story was that he was politely telling me to go home.Quote:

Anybody else out driving around Truckee yesterday? The official indoctrination to snow season. It was a total junk show!! Freeway closed, cars in ditches, trucks stuck. I was really happy to get home just as the sun poked through.
It's an icy mess up high this AM. Time to get some sand on the driveway and get the groms to school. Winter is here!!
That’s an odd choice since the 89 downgrade is even steeper and the turn onto Alder Creek is off camber and super sketchy. I’ve seen so many vehicles that have slid into that guardrail.Quote:

Ambulances can't get to my house any time it snows on Sunday and a lot of other Sundays too, summer and winter. And we can't get out.
