I think I just FOMO'd. Damn.

For those of you that were talking about Bay Area skiing (Mt. Diablo, Mt. Tamalpais, etc), do not forget Mt. St Helena above Calistoga.
It tends to get snow now and then.
Plus there's an easy access hiking trail and then a service road, so it could yield decent rural suburban turns with a great view of the Napa Valley to boot.
:)
I boot-skied it once some 23 years ago, fwiw.

Great shit gimpy

FWIW, interwebz is reporting it got to -2 in Truckee last night/this morning. Guessing that's in Martis Valley by the airport (which is where I've heard they have a temperature guage).

Considered by some to be the most under the radar skier in the U.S.

His Instagram is certainly a fun follow. Some great POV clips.

Holy moly...

Yesterday at squaw was, as advertised, one of those best kind of days. Reverse traverse provided the untracked, but sun going down at the end of the day on rockgarden was awesome. The snow and the granite and the rocks, tough to beat.

Stoke level is high in here right now! Love it!

Years ago I watched him line up a huge backflip off the top of Soul Searcher. Inspiring. Just sent it and stuck it.

The ten day Euro is showing monster snowfall numbers to very low elevations...

part time lurker here, 1st post. gonna be at squawalpine (staying in village) Sunday-Wednesday. if anyone's around and wants to buddy up at all please lemme know, just tryna stay safe. I'm on a snowboard if it matters. can ski too but not as well in deeper pow. can ride most stuff but aint tryna to go hella crazy, just love makin turns and being in the mountains.

Great day at Sugar Bowl, the bowl that keeps on giving. Skied the super soft deep pow off Lincoln in the morning and then Crow's nest when it opened in the afternoon. Some long-time locals on the lift told me this was the best pow in memory.
