Tahoe '24/'25 - This Thread Shall Not Be Privatized!!

What's J's IG? Curious what he got up to.

I promised two pics but only one uploaded, so here are two more. Morning line up around 8:30 got us onto about the 20th chair. The partly overcast I think kept the snow better longer than a few weeks ago.

Dogleg. Backslapped the landing but stood up and made my turn. Landing was not nearly as plush as two weeks ago, but always a blast. Got props from some kids for hitting this at my age.

This is a place that would be easy to miss. So much fun packed into such a small area.

Money! And none of that [emoji642][emoji642][emoji642] technowank! ;)

His post from March thirteen of “check out my one pole lopsided face shot turns” is pretty dope.

Classic homeboy. Good to see it getting hit. That one run looked chewed up!

Yeah Boulevard had a lot of tracks in it and skied heavy but I hadn't been down it in so long so it was good to get in there. Getting a good West Shore KW sidecountry day can be tricky to time it right and I lucked out yesterday.

The guy who went down the cliff line in the middle I think had a bad time of it from what I heard.

Weird to see Main untracked

I hear Mashed took care of that error. I was saying the same thing to him. Over all, Main is not as co distantly steep as the other lines but it's low hanging fruit and plenty fun.

Another from Mashed (cause I can seem to still be able post pics)

So painful to post anything in this forum these days, sure this site is gonna go tits up pretty soon. Kinda rare and awesome to get 6 powder days in a row in Tahoe late march into early April, some highlights over those days, on April 5th I skied corn and powder https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCtXgedOJPw

Coverage looks great in West Shore...but then you see Sushi Roll being really spicy. Man, its been YEARS since I've been out there!

Does Jake's still have good coverage?
I haven't been there in years

Skinned up the south side on Sunday. Once past the cabins the willows are starting to appear. Wasn't too bad but not going to last long down low.

Mashedpotatoes, yeah our group hit Boulevard when it had just a couple of tracks that day. While getting the skins out we watched that guy on his solo line in your pic, pretty entertaining complete with sound effects.

Is that pic "Jakes"?

And yeah, another unfortunate accident at OV. It's always eerie when competent skiers crash and die. Interesting to know the details just for education purposes. We can guess at a few scenarios and probably one would be correct.

Wow is the forum bonkers?!?!Tried to quote the SFGate article and it threw Ottime's post in? wtf?
Anyway, Super Sad news about the past Dartmouth racer who died at Palisades. 30 point FIS skier. This woman could ski. Huge wake up call when someone better than most has a fatal accident.

I was in Sac at the State Capitol Saturday but I'm guessing things were icy--after wet snow and then clear? On a happier note--Placer County planning on adding dedicated bus lanes on 89, 267, and 28, so we should have relief of weekend traffic jams soon. (By soon I mean 2041. Construction to start in 9 years.)https://epaper.sierrasun.com/html5/r...a-da9138ad31aa

For those of you who mostly stick to just this thread- if the forum officially shits the bed I’ll be starting a new one at powfix.com and hopefully can port over the old data. We have a Facebook group called The Powder Zone just so everyone can keep in touch during the process.

This isn’t happening yet, and I’d rather not deal with it and hope TGR gets their shit together, but just a heads up.

I'm still upset that powdermag.com isn't working anymore.

Re: Dartmouth skier. A few of us actually met her briefly getting ready to ride (MTB) TNT in Orinda this past fall. She was one of 3 gals wearing Dartmouth ski team windbreakers who stopped where we did at the top. We played the Vermont-to-SF name game a bit bc she is from Waitsfield. She and her friends then proceeded to completely outride all of us locals. We only saw them again at all bc they were stopping briefly to make sure they caught all the 10' gap jumps and ladder drops on the way down, while we old folks just slowly glide down the main line. Absolutely awesome athlete. Can't imagine what happened to her to cause the fatal crash.

Yeah, highly unlikely icy conditions had anything to do with the accident when we're talking an ec'er and former racer, but possibly.
I was in that area right before the last snow and it was sharky af. Zones like that with fresh snow are scary. Going as straight as possible is safer than turning sometimes. That was pretty much the m.o. in Taos after a snowfall.

Definitely sad to see this news.I used to ski Ahh chute pretty regularly when I lived in Tahoe, definitely a fun part of the mountain. It is eye opening to see a tragedy like this, it does highlight just how fine the line can be, even in terrain that is skied regularly. Things can go wrong in a big way. Vibes to the community, family and friends.

Glad the site is working...
*Last Ski Weekends*
are rapidly approaching [emoji20]
Where "U" all gonna be at???

We hope to be at KW for Sunday 20th. Would be our first day there this season (embarrassed).

Mt.Rose has cheap Friday tix after noon, and open until 6. Worth checking out. Very cool [emoji41]

Open late Saturdays too. But no specials. Well, apart from available parking [emoji3]
Prolly be there both days.
