Nice turn. I should have gone down there today. Alpine slack was decent. Mostly cloudy north facing stuff still was decent at 7000'.Quote:

Thanks, I'll see about making a north shore day one of these upcoming weekends and find out about demoing skis through them or something.Quote:

i'm seeing an east wind going on via the satellite right now. can anyone in an east wind prone area confirm?
Remote sensor at Ward is showing an almost east wind...around 70-75 degrees. It's been slowing coming around from a north wind to an east wind.
thanks. doesn't seem too strong or like it will be long lived. i'm not too worried
Coverage at the Buttes isn't bad. Conditions were . . . variable (some pow, some windblown, some crust, a lot of hard but edgeable chalk).

Another peak on my hit list, nice work, did you hike all the way in or get a snow mobile assist?Quote:

Thanks for the info. Their place is just around the corner from Conifer so that's perfect. I was wondering what the landing below that train tunnel would be like once there was enough snow - hard to tell during the summer if that was a real option or not.Quote:

^^^ That is pretty cool, hopefully someone will post a TR hitting it from both directions.
Question, if you by a day pass at one of those resorts is it good for both for the day?
^^^ Yes. Two resorts, one pass.
Been awhile since I skied either of those resorts, is there any interesting terrain between the two? I'm assuming the White Wolf stuff is still off limits since its Private property.
As stated on the link above:
- The land to the East is private property (please, no trespassing).
- The land to the West is wilderness (there is no way out).
The area to the East is White Wolf, and they are not going to take lightly to someone poaching it, and doing so will probably ruin whatever convenience or fun the gate provides immediately.
To the west is the "Granite Chief Wilderness" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granite_Chief_Wilderness). The only way out that I know of would be to skin back up. The terrain that you can see off the back of Alpine is pretty mellow, and can be very wind scoured. Though it did look fun a week ago, when we were out there hitting the High T.
Staying in South Lake Tahoe Tuesday and Wednesday night for business.
Skiing kirkwood on Wednesday, it would be cool to ski with some maggots.
PM me if you will be out and about.
Nice pencil chute stoke...I debated hitting that last week but couldn't get myself away from the top to bottom fun of chair 6.

Looks like Andy from Unofficial Alpine, sampled the KT backcountry gate: http://unofficialalpine.com/?p=1036
Unofficial squaw goes both ways: http://unofficialnetworks.com/kt22-b...report-114803/ ;)
White wolf is off limits but directly off the back of KT is pretty good vert if you follow those empty lift towers down. But still not too sure where the actual trail is. The map on the website is pretty fuzzy.Quote:

Pretty pleased that they are opening terrain instead of closin it. They opened Oregon trail last year off Silvy then this little guy. Best would be north facing aspect of broken arrow...
Just read on the page that the gate is off the saddle towards horsetails. Not much skiing there but still super cool to have the option.
