Pretty solid gesture from KSL I guess.Quote:
We appreciate your understanding about the mistake we made Tuesday and know that you were disappointed that getting a pass for $1 or less really was too good to be true.

As such, we are offering you an exclusive low price on a Tahoe Super Pass for 2014-15. To take advantage of this offer please call us by 4pm PT on October 17, 2014 to purchase your pass. This special offer is only for you and cannot be transferred. You'll be asked for your first and last name as well the email address where you received this email.

Start Haus in Truckee is looking for a couple of tuners for this coming season. If you either have tuning experience or are very good with your hands, shoot me a PM. This will be a full time position for the season. We do not have a night shift.
I'll add my signature to that letter.Quote:

Thanks dookey. A few there I hadn't come across before. I put together a Google calendar with most of them but couldn't get it to embed in a post.
But we try to do a 4 on 3 off or 4 and a late day and 2 and a morning off.Quote:

This is what we do at Tahoe nowadays--watch ski films instead of ski. Maybe Ullr, or whoever the true snow god is, will be more merciful this season. Perhaps our burnt offering--100,000 acres of forest--will appease him or her.Quote:

Likewise. I live in Ft. Mason which is right there. Happy to volunteer the grill and some beer after beacon practice.Quote:

Yep - me too.Quote:

^ whoa moving down from the PDX huh? Let's get some touring in! You know all the good terrain is on the Souf side of the lake, right?
Just a friendly reminder, this is a week from today! Hope to see you there.

yeah schralph!
leaving town tomorrow. gonna be living on the west shore in Tahoma.
I was living in south lake before I moved to Portland, so I know a bit of what is going on there!
look forward to getting in some touring with you!
Just bought my Kirkwood only pass, anyone know if Powhunter is running shit at the Towers again?
paycheck negotiations will determine how many cracked out powder chasing missions from SD this winter...
Fingers crossed. Either way, hoping to make a lap around Alpine, Squaw, and Kirkwood for about a week trip late winter or early spring. Hoping to get my dumb ass less lost on the Fingers at some pernt. Stoke levels are as high as the temperatures around here.

If any Kirkwood mags have a ski lease that I could very quietly park my Truck Camper in the drive way at night only on the weekends only I would be willing to pay for such a service. I would be gone before you woke up and I wouldn't make a peep.
Thanks in advance.

You jinxed our October surprise and it's heading north. Way to go.
Shit. Totally unintentionally leap. I still need to get those October turns in.

i think that map that was posted on here a while ago has had its effect. kw will now guide you into thunder bowl for a mere $435. bet it will be fun out there this winter. and where is avalanche bowl? btw, if you were thinking of heading out, and need a guide, i only charge $400, so look me up. you will to sign a waiver of course.
Let me drive around south shore a bit and figure out which places sit empty most of the winter.Quote:
