More imminent is the new MSP film, which is in SF on 10/11. Same time, same place as last year: http://www.skimovie.com/index.php/in...-francisco-ca/
While the venue is less tailgate friendly, I will probably be heading up for that as well.
Not wishing to cock up the Tahoe thread with Yay Area slang tang, I took the liberty of kick starting this for all the SF locals: http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/s...ing-in-the-Bay
FWIW, Tahoe heads get quite a few more films choices this season (Level 1, for example is showing Reno and Truckee, but not anywhere in the Bay).
yeahbut, no sweetgrass productions in the area...Quote:

I'm gonna say no. It will be a nice tease, but I'm not expecting much soon after it. I'm more looking forward to the storm buffing out the MTB trails here in the foothills.Quote:

Nuthon,
I would love some company on the track. Bella and I will be in the Sunrader SkiBumMobile. Are you parking by Cornice or TC?
Let it Snow!
Ya, this is a teaser. All it's going to do for me is fuck up my route over 108 to fish the EW Friday. I know there are some sketchy spots on SP, but come on CalTrans, don't close 'er down, I can make it over, I swear!
skiing is a long way off.....the snow melt should make for some good trails this weekend.
Chair 9 lot. By the ski school building. Trying to be there between 6-630 . I'll pm you wed night to confirm. i have to work thurs morn, but i already told the boss i wouldn't be in till 10-11.
KW webcam still showing dry, but you guys will get some goods in a few hours. It's already started over here in SF.
(edit: goods = relative, it'll definitely be a light dusting until the real wave hits!)
Fuck that, i been off real snow for 7 months. I'm pretty much foaming at the mouth over this little squirt of an early season storm. I know it will be gone in a couple of days, but it will be real good for at least a couple of laps.Quote:

In the past they were open early and stayed late, hopefully this isnt the future of customer service at Alpine Meadows
All this is doing is messing up the remainder of the Eastside alpine ice/rock season - ugh. I wanted the rest of October for some more High Sierra granite and that random patch of neve/ice....
Not sure, but you might have more success at the offices at the base of the road, in the little shopping area where Crest Cafe is.Quote:

D'oh. Well, it looks like special tickets' phone is (530) 581-8310, if you want to call them before you head over next time. Which might not be a bad idea, since based on what OHC posted in another thread, the staffers may be in limbo right now.
Of course, another alternative would be to buy the passes at Squaw....
Trying to get thursday off, if so looks like the frush and I will be in the kirkwood vicinity.
I'll ski Thursday. Who wants to watch my son in the parking lot? I'll leave you a bottle and a few diapers. I'll only be gone for a few hours. He is a bundle of joy. Should be lots of fun.
