I’m sorry to hear that
Bummer, that sucks. Since you've been skiing on it the last 6 weeks can you finish out the season before surgery, or is it a stop now or you'll do more damage situation?Quote:

With braces, I skied 8 and 11 years without ACL’s. They are just backup for the muscles. 🤠Quote:

Does anyone know of shops that carry ON3P skis (hopefully north lake)? I'm looking to pick up some Kartel 108's
I'm just getting the meniscus trimmed towards the end of the month so I can prolly be skiing again with a brace by the end of March, gonna try a cope without an ACL until my eventual Knee replacement down the road since they will take the ACL out for that anyway. Know plenty of folks without ACL's that have been skiing for decades without one, I guess making it to almost 60 without surgery ever ani't to bad of a streak.Quote:

Heard about a skier caught in an avalanche off jobs east peak the other day that broke his leg up there, saw it was reported to SAC, worth a read if you have not seen it yet.

Heavenly pulled the plug too early in my opinion. I skinned up Attachment 269773 to the small hill above the groove lift after the lightning stopped. Snow got better and better the higher I went
Hogsback to west bowl was boot to shin deep. Will be fun tomorrow
Pretty scary, not sure i would've done anything differently to avoid getting caught.Quote:

Well, 80 EB is closed due to a jack knifed semi. Had to get a hotel in Applegate. Hopefully it opens tomorrow morning...
Heal up quick TBC.
Quality report on SAC. Glad to hear the injured skier made it out. That could have gone worse in many ways. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry to hear TBC, good luck with the rehab.
Note his emphasis on being extremely thankful for having cell reception where they were and how screwed they would have been otherwise. Curious how many in this group travel with an InReach considering a number of zones in the area have spotty cell coverage? (I don't, but have been thinking I probably should buy one for both skiing and MTB, just wish they weren't so damn expensive)Quote:

Yeah not just a jacknifed rig. This is a pretty bonkers storm -again. It’s still closed and so is a lot of other shit. I felt lucky to get out of TD last night and thankful they hadn’t closed brockway at that time. It was some pretty hair ball whiteout 5mph with your hazards on stuff in martis valley.Quote:

Rose closed already (saving it for the tourists, no doubt [emoji849], just like they save the chutes for the late risers [emoji35]).
If Squaw actually opens, I’ll be impressed and I’ll be there. After another serious dig out. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a36d5c2b83.jpg
Looks like Rose is closed AGAIN today, and with the current road closures I can't get to Squaw or Alpine. This sucks. I should have gotten up early and driven to Mammoth.
Mt Rose highway is closed, so the resort is closed. Otherwise, who knows?
The 1000+ lightning strikes yesterday would've made control work challenging. A coworker is dating a patrolled up there, who said lightning hit a lift tower near him, as he was preparing to throw a charge into the chutes. Bombs + lightning would make me retreat downhill pretty fast.

Given that 80 is closed this morning and it will snow upwards of 2-3ftft on the summit today, what are the chances it even opens? Forecast models are showing a "lull" early tonight but my guess is that 80 may remain closed for most of today and night.
But not the other direction. They try to keep I80 EB open at Truckee so they can send cars and trucks towards Reno to decompress the Truckee gridlock.Quote:

I could not imagine a less accurate description of how rose handles their mountain. There is not a resort in tahoe that is better to passholders, imho. Am I pissed I can't ski today, yes. Am I pissed at Rose, fuck no. I was up at 4.45 for dawn patrol, then rose laps, and the road is closed.Quote:
