LOL, yeah we did. Then we noticed the free cocoa coupons were for the 2013-2014 ski season. I am sure they will refuse to honor them.

Kirkwood was better than expected. Heavenly was closed due to power apparently so things got hectic a little after 11 but the singles line on 6 was super quick. Snow dried out over the night so plenty of decent pow to be had. Still plenty of rocks. Got bucked by a hidden shark fin and got a nice early season core shot. 11 popped around 11:30 and there were some great turns to be had. They still need a few more feet for things to fully go.
Where was the slide, and was it natural?
that's under elephant back lower down far skiers right unless i'm mistaken. skier triggered by frorider
What's the deal with 10? I heard something about a broken power line.
I skied it without incident, By buddy felt something I did not pushed hard while ski cutting and got it to go.
Good snow today. Learning how to snowboard has been fun. Going small is cool.

I was out there early this morning and skied the shot just to lookers right of your pic in our first run. ther was a group of 3 out ther a bit after us who put in that odd skin track goin across the slide zone in your pic. Was that you guys?
Yeah u nailed it c
Saw some cool wildlife today but both were from the highway
Saw a marten ( or whatever it is) atop Luther like the one pd posted up
And even radder was the bobcat I saw near gazex chute. I've never seen one in tahoe
There is a bobcat in my neighborhood in squaw, I think it obliterated the entire feline, cat, population.
FYI:
Some good Samaritan found an avy beacon out in the wild around Tahoe yesterday and posted it up on Craigslist:

That was us Toby we went to check out the south facing bowl but it did not look good so that was the easiest way to catch your skin track. We went one at a time through there but it seemed pretty bomber, you can see our skin track in the slide zone, went a little higher than you guys went on the left side of eback but did not like the layers over there so we dropped down to this zone. I did a hasty pit and it seemed OK, but no Bueno.
Alpine was pretty fun for the first day of the season for me, Ms. UCL, Enginerd and his lady friend. High Yellow was good to the last drop. Power went back on and place was a ghost town.

Young the Giant crushed The Heavenly Village.
Yeah j we stopped wher we stopped on the upper cuz the upper 10-12" slab was test shearing really easily ther. Looks to be about the same depth as your result. Bummer we were so close but didn't run into u. We were about to skin back up for our second run right where you guys ended up dropping your first so we went elsewhere. You prolly didn't hear me but ii,was jokingly yelling noooooooooo at u guys when I saw u point and head that direction :)
Good thing we got there before you cause the snow was pure shit, you would have hated it :wink:

Nice ^
On a separate note, was snowing on top of Squaw end of the day and really hard winds out of SW. Didn't seem to be making it over the Crest much, as was only a dusting at 6200 at the river. Front for tomorrow is moving in.
Pretty much summarizes this weekend at the wood.

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...
Found a new cool zone up around the summit, really amazing technical ridges inbetween insanely scary narrow steep walled drainages that I would want nothing to do with. I'm wondering if anyone round these parts has ever ridden here before Attachment 161463
Communication line I think. And fallen trees. Should be back online Monday.
FKD - my bad. You're right, I should lay off the crack before posting. Sending you snow in penance. Fair deal?
Fun weekend with nice temps and good snow. Fkna it's nice to have winter back!!
