it's been a long time coming since people really gave KSL the biggest benefit of the doubt, but now the money managers seem to have different aims than the mountain folk. it well be interesting to see where this goes. I can't make the Sunday meeting, but am getting on the mailing list to take part however I can.

Though Tahoe folks are probably over-saturated with info at this point.
This year vs. climatology will reset in early October.

pretty quiet in here. everyone go back to last year's thread?
having tangled with the white Dragon last year, gonna do a level II course this year. also liking the airbags. any locals have input on why Tahoe skiing is better with or without a balloon in your sack?
because you look like a BAMF with one on your back. Yea its pretty quiet in here. Everyone must be out and about with the majority of the tourons staying at home. Its been pretty nice around here other than the road construction.Quote:

I have a Xmas tree for you....
Turx - Bummed you and Cinders weren't at the the TGR show in Squaw. Had skifishbum and a frenchie in tow. We worked late and made it from Reno to Squaw in 30 minutes flat, lookin around all the time for you two. We need to finish our phone call. I think I have some skis for you. They're a steal!
I have 2 tickets to the Squaw Valley premier of The McConkey Movie on Saturday, 10/5 that I cannot use. PM me to have them e-mailed to you.
Let it Snow!

Great movie and great way to see the squaw vibe. Thanks. Good to park on the lot just to the right before the main lot
Awesome night at Squaw and the Movie was great. Very inspiring to see his wife and daughter there.
Sorry we couldn't be there. Rarely make it out of Bay Area in Summer. (I was nursing some gravel-rash, from my commute, anyway).Quote:

I will email you for deets on the skeets.
They say it's gonna snow up in Tahoe this week...
I am REALLY beginning to hate KSL...December 13th opener for Alpine Meadows?

Look at the bright side--if we were talking about Sunshine Village we'd all be sued for defamation and TGR would be getting a cease and desist letter. Of course it could still happen.Quote:

DUMPING IN TRUCKEE THIS MORNING!!!! (for about 5 minutes.)
A couple of days ago I looked at the Kirkwood webcam and there were spider webs visible on the lens, today the Wall is holding snow!
^^^ Looks like a few flakes are falling right now.
On the KRON4 news this morning (around 9) the showed the Echo Summit cam. Wet on the roads but white at the sides!
12/13 Opening doesn't seem that bad...the first *scheduled* SkiBus trip is on 12/7 I think...Might mean more WROD to choose from
(Although, I do remember turning my Solly Screams into Rock Ski's at the beginning of a season at AM a fair few years ago...1st time I met Sinecure & "Alpine"Dad...just had to go exploring off of the WROD didn't I...)
^^^^Faaack....Youth is a wonderful thing. You have the balls to develop the skilz. Watching that, I was thinking no fucking way, I would kill myself.
snow is holding above diamond peak. beautiful sight.
Someone tracked out the entire knoll off the interpretive trail near mt rose meadows. Mostly kitty litter over there so its not to hard on skis. Just had to watch out for a few rocks. :the_finge

Kind of cool to see Vail actually embracing the good terrain vs. certain other companies trying to convince everyone there's a bunch of family friendly groomers. ;-)
