Snowing hard here in Woodfords. I drove by Squaw this morning and skied [hiked] for about an hour. Little stash down the road I like to hit once in a while. Still mixed conditions, but temps prolly dropped 10 degrees in just a short time. A couple friends just called and said Kirkwood is geting completely annhilated. Tomorrow should be the day. Little rain to hold all that shit together and a foot or two of fresh on top of the sticky.
Yeah, I wish I could.Quote:

As of 12:25pm, 6 appears to be on hold, and the webcam is covered in raindrops :D
This just in! Wood is good! Had about 7-8 fresh runs pretty much top to bottom. Creamy goodness. Warming slightly midmorning but great still. No one out early. Getting windy-er now and the temp gauge outside my local is saying 32. I'll see you cats bright and early tomorrow!:biggrin:
edit- (currently 32 in Kirkwood)
Yep, you'll only be one chair behind me! :pQuote:

Did it blow through and only drop 6 wet inches?:fuckyou:
Talk to me Goose.
It's still snowing about 7,000 although I haven't heard how much has collected for a couple of hours.
I was just at the top of Harrah's and watched the snow level drop from around 7000 to 6200. It's wet snow at Lake level, but it's snow. Booyaaaa!!!!!
Still snowing steadily @ Kirkwood at 2:30. Sunny and clear w/ light rain in Gardnerville. Thick clouds over the east slope but appear to be breaking up. This might be it until tomorrow night.
That "storm" was a bust.:nonono2:
Yeah, I really wounldn't even bother going out tomorrow if I was you. It will probably suck anyway.:eek:

There was about 4" of new snow on Luther as of 5pm. Waterhouse/powderhouse will probably be good tomorrow.
Nothing but a dusting in Meyers, glad I don't have to blow snow tonite.:(
I can't believe this storm was a let down as well. :nonono2:
sorry guys, I'm back in Ca, winter briefly escaped my hold, but I've got it back now...
Your regularly scheduled winter will continue when my doc gives me permission to have fun.
My jinx worked! I won't be missing out on powpow tomorrow :D!!!!

"THE WINTER STORM WARNING WILL EXPIRE AT 6 PM PST THIS AFTERNOON. SNOW SHOWERS HAVE DECREASED AND HEAVY SNOW IS NO LONGER EXPECTED."
cold and snowing lightly but fuckin i'll take it. dawn patrol at powderhouse and then borrowing an unblacked out pass for some kwood luv manana w/ the wifey for a half day or so. might not be a shitload of snow, but they should have control work done early and the 2:30 update to the snophone is predicting at least a solid foot. i didn't geta kwwood pass this year so hopefully i'll see sum a you shitheads up there. sunny bluebird w/ a foot or more of fresh w/ most locals blacked out.......i'll take it. ohhhh yeahhhhhh!!!!!
Shugs sent me a text saying that "nobody was at KW today, you should have been here."
Well, I fly out of ORD to SFO tomorrow morning, and will be at KW first thing on the 30th!

Yup, I am a negative, whining, greedy SOB, but so be it. I figure the more pessismistic I am the more pleasantly surprised I will be by any conditions other than rain and/or sierra cement. :D
ps See you there, C!
Haven't skied in two weeks...going crazy...going to pay $58 to ski at Heavenly for 2 hours tomorrow...dear god...please help me...
I haven't [/waaaa] skied since the 17th [waaaa]
I'll ski the fucking dirt....
....in a garbage bag :D
arty raining in south lake?
just talked to a friend staying on the west shore and he said its been dumping pretty good tonight. he was driving back from dinner in tahoe city. said maybe 4 inches of snow at lake level and they were plowing. squaw cam looks as if its snowing as well.
he reported parts of alpine with about 5 inches today too. tomorrow might be worth the drive up yet...
Still snowing.
clear and crisp in the foothills...still snowing in the mtns....
resort or bc, tomorrow is gonna be good I can feel it. :biggrin:
It is actually still snowing very lightly in SLT right now, about 1" accumulation at 6500ft.
If it stays cold and with the lack of wind, I bet some of the higher elevation stuff will be really fun, I am actually bummed I can't go tomorrow.
for those skiing tomorrow, get some! :D
And AKA take some pics with that new camera would ya? ;)
Driving through Washoe Valley on 395 from Carson to Reno I encountered light snow flurries/frozen rain at 5:30pm. And that's at the valley floor!
Rose got a foot or so.
Still snowing in Truckee, probably 2" in the last 3.
Tomorrow @ Squaw = peanut butter jelly time.
For the last 2 hours or so, the best snow of the day is falling at 6700' in TD. Snow is light and the wind is blowing pretty good. It does not feel like the storm is "over" outside right now.
And we all know what you use to spread peanut butter and jelly...Quote:

arty - $58 to ski 2 hours at the heave??? what have you lost your mind. i think i'd have to have somebody pay me $58 to ski at heavenly during the holiday clusterfuck.
enlosandes/soulskier -- fuck yeah man. i'd love to spend a summer down that way but w/ a 2.5 year old and a 6 month old kid, it ain't happening anytime soon. so, are you stoked on your move and life is good in argentina?????
life is a bife de lomo jugoso, complete with ensalada verde and a nice bottle of malbec, at Albertos in Bariloche.Quote:

Amen. Yes, I've lost my mind. As they say...it's only rock'n'roll but I like it.
It's nice and cold out, the stars are shining, and pow awaits me in the am. :D
1:56am 12/29. I am embarking on a 300 mile surf trip instead of skiing knee deep mank. See you foo's on NYE
