you're completely full of shit and wrong. Colo. is as bad as tahoe, I mean unless 30-40" of base is what you consider all time. Very few resorts have seen 200"-----Quote:

State Board issued a notice of potential water rights curtailments:

Same thing happened last year. Fun times.
Anyone know where Squaw was throwing bombs today?
Probably a little late, but I was up there Sunday so I figured I'd answer your question. It's not completely bare, but not worth skinning. I booted. It's patches of ice/snow and dirt. Strangely, the longer patches (skiable) were down closer to the highway. But man, taking off skis every 20 feet to walk across dirt sure was fucking annoying.Quote:

tahoe's not so bad
Fun is right.
Family will be at Squaw next weekend (Jan31-Feb1) for a GS race for young Owen.
We can get $54 tix. Anything better?
$54 worth of drinks at the bar. (About 2 drinks at KSL prices).Quote:

Well, Huck did declare it "The Year of the Fatbike" that year so what is up with all the fatbike stoke this year?Quote:

Guilty of MTBing. Auburn is ripping right now, but you brought out the fact I keep missing... It is winter.Quote:

Squaw upper mountain was fun today. Park jump line is kicking.
Skiing is fun, even in suboptimal conditions... Lighten up people!
This pretty much sums it up. A big ol high pressure cock block.

Did you ski off the peak at all? Looks like you are south of it across the streetQuote:

Took off the snow tires, washed the 4Runner, and then sold it.
C'mon winter. I dare you to return.
... going mountain biking. Again. Sheesh...
You're right, just south of the peak. Still some fun steeper corn laps to be had... I guess they got a pretty good dump last month and it's stayed around. The peak is up the road a few more miles... It's a mission for just a day to get all the way out there, most people are hiking to Lake Hellen and then camping and skiing off the peak.Quote:

^^^Sorry to hear KW was the Suck.
At AM yesterday Summit6 was on wind hold most of day but ABC was running if you didn't mind the line.
"Most Fun" skiing was off Scott next to groomer. Bumps & bushes. Cornalicous.
A lot of the stuff in the sun was also hammered on by the Cold Wind so it looked inviting but was rock hard. Good for the character!
(Groomers were fine of course, goes without saying)
Couldn't make it to Squaw today after all. Boo!
Heard it was pretty much "all locked up" yesterday by the Cold Wind.
Shasta gooooood!
Thinking about a Lassen trip later this week (Wed-Fri) depending on weather. PM if anyone around.
