Dang, guess you’ve gotta do what you’ve gotta do, but these aren’t grizzlies and I don’t want to hurt them. Paintball gun makes sense, especially since you can adjust the firing speed by quite a bit.
Yeah, google autocorrect.Quote:

They use paintball guns at Martis Camp to keep the bears away from the Lodge down by the Martis chairlift…at least they did some 7 odd years ago when I worked at the ropes course. Gotta imagine they haven’t changed their policy.
But when I worked there they gave away free soft serve to the members and kids would toss full cups into the woods around the course, so bears were often present in the summer and fall (the smell of pizza and grilled meat from the lodge probably didn’t help either)
I figured it would be a zoo at Alpine, so I did opening day at TDXC instead. Great fast non-icy snow, and particularly nice up high.

It scared the hell out of their daughter. It broke into the two campers and then was far too close to my 5 year old on the trampoline. I decided that was enough. Luckily my dog did the heavy lifting, but I did walk out and retrieve my son from the trampoline with a rifle. The bear wasn't phased by my yelling, but the sound of the rifle sent him on his way. We all collaborated on making sure it had no reason to come back.
Humans killed off the Sierra Grizzlies. The Grizzlies controlled the black bear population. Go figure. We haven't had much trouble at our homes, but the garbage dumpsters are always an issue.
We also had one kook of a neighbor that was feeding them and put pools out for them. That stopped when she was mauled after unknowingly walking up on a bear in her yard. Literally walked into a bear at night.
SB was so much fun today. The snow on Disney held up great until after lunch. The freeride kids put on a show at the wind lip under the chair.
My seven year old got a three off the wind lip and loved the cheers from the chair. He's hooked.
Squaw announced upper mountain for Sunday!!
I'd love to see snow in the forecast, but it's been a long time since November has looked this good!!
A former sheriff lives across the street from with a half block all surrounded my metal fencing. The bears are safe from all the dogs there. The sheriff puts out fiberglass igloos for the bears and always puts out bird seed. So the bears sleep there and overwinter there as well. I don’t know why he gets away with it but he does. The bears are responsible for hundreds of thousands in damages at least. He’s basically harboring fugitives

Heads up for any ikon folk that want to ski tahoes epic resorts. One day epic passes are only $98 but passes go off sale Dec 2nd.
I’ll be at Kirkwood with the minis on Monday
Does ikon offer anything like that? They would make great stocking stuffers so then the minis could come ski with me at alpine

Thanks!!

Try Gear Hut in Reno, there are a ton of ski boots in that range starting at $50 or soQuote:

SB Saturday was in mid-winter shape with chalkly packed pow and no obstacles/rocks on the steepest runs with ski on lifts.

Soft supportive turns on the east side of Lincoln and Judah side-xtry were found after some time in the sun. About 115 cm total depth with 10 cm ski penetration in the shade.

N. Side of Castle seemed busy with lots of touring parties and a few dogs. Was in great shape and always nice to get back in there before the snowmobiles.

Made it home in time for dinner.
Damn SB looks fun.
Skied Palisades Sunday with my 13 yr old. Best part of the day was how on top of their gear and ski shit they were.
We started at Alpine considering the upper mountain opening on the Olympic Valley side. No one at Alpine and we logged over 6500' by 10:10am. Then we took the gondola over to Olympic Valley side.

We lapped down to Resort chair four times. My kid was loving flying down the wide open groomer. After I first lap I was playing in the off piste open on that side. It was skiing so well.

Finally made it to the upper mountain and took a few laps on Siberia and then skied the stuff above Solitude and finally finished with a lap under Headwall.

Headed back to Alpine and finished with a few groomer laps.

Duct taped up my car. On yeah, tagged a deer on 80 at daybreak. I was in the passing lane when it leaped over the meridian out of the dark and landed directly in front of my car. I was able to swerve toward the barrier and just get its hind side on my right bumper. Scary AF.
Snow was great. Got warm later but still skied great. Stoked to be back on snow.

I'll check. We just sized up and I have a few pairs sub 25 in the store room.
Only issue is getting them to you. I'm in SC and will next be up to Kirkwood over the holidays.
I might get back to the north shore next weekend depending on snow. I'll PM ya when I did them out.

Sunday at PTOV was indeed fun. Hogsback was skiing particularly well. That deer situation is indeed scary as fuck. Glad you're alright.Quote:

Wife and I are headed to ski Heavenly for just a couple days midweek in mid March, already bought flight into/outof Reno. Looks like we will just take the Airporter Bus to South Lake. We are looking to stay somewhere easily walkable to the gondola as we will have no car. It's been close to two decades since ive been in South Lake... what would be the best options for a midpriced room that isnt too trashy. Not married to staying in a casino, but i would assume they have the best deals and are the most walkable for gondola/food/entertainment? Any other tips would be much appreciated.
I don't live in South Lake, but a buddy renovated this hotel, and it's relatively affordable and walking distance to the Heavenly gondola. But I'm no Heavenly skier, so defer to those folks on where is best to stay.Quote:

This is a VailCorp town. Trashy AND overpriced is the only option.
Limiting yourself to walking distance of the gondola will significantly reduce your choices. Especially since the gondola access point is prone to closing due to wind and/or financial concerns.
Heavenly runs free shuttle buses that circulate downtown, and will bring you right to the base areas. I would recommend staying anywhere near those routes. Taxis, rideshare, and free microtransit are also available here 24/7.

Yes, staying in a casino or the Marriot will mean the least amount of walking to the tourist attractions. The station house in is probably a fair choice, too.
country club turns with old goat this morning were pretty nice
The current recommendation is to install chains on all four wheels while parked with your ass end hanging out into the slow lane. Do this down around Gold Run to avoid issues with construction near Baxter. Then drive 20 mph all of the way to PaliValley for that extra margin of safety.Quote:

Don’t forget to use the code #4wheelchains to get your discount when reserving your parking

Stardust lodge is the closest other than the two Marriott properties surrounding the gondola. I would consider the walk from Station House just far enough to be in the PITA zone both ways. Timber Cove is the cheaper of the Marriotts. Forest Suites is also super close on the uphill side.

I second the forest suites. I have stayed their before. The ski tour company I work for uses them all the time.
Appreciate the rec. Thanks!Quote:
