A wanker knows wanky
hopefully gonna make it to Tahoe for a few days on my road trip from Aus to Japan to up the west coast and Colorado
JAFA....
If you get here, let the mags know. They’ll show you around
This is so early I think it's almost a reverse jinx. So, well played?
Holy jeebus. I did have to turn on the heat this weekend to break the morning chill in the house, but it's still friggin August. Earliest thread start ever?

GD already? Even though Teton, and the alps got snow...
I'm just hoping that my last winter in Tahoe for at least a couple years is a good one.
Ublow, you have perhaps the greatest handle on TGR, but the first post in what you claim to be the Official Tahoe thread is garbage. Go look at lepistoir's thread from last year, and see how it's done. Nuke and start over.
There is neither stoke, nor conditions, or weather reports on page 1 of this thread. I therefore pronounce this thread unofficially not official.
This is the Tahoe mountain bike stoke and conditions thread, right? No snow = no ski season.
How is the dirt?
What is the best place to boulder near Kirkwood with less than 2 mile access.
Erratica probably has the most to choose from in easy ranges. The Birthday Boulder is one of my favorites sort of above Kirkwood Lake with a nice cave on the backside. They're all difficult to find without a guidebook and there are two guidebooks from tahoeboulderingguides that cover the area. The outlying areas guidebook has Erratica and maybe the secrets and one of the South/East Shore books has Birthday boulder and other Highway 88 areas.
I'd love to head out there and show you but I have to work up on the west shore tomorrow
Here is the closest and easiest part of erratica. This turnoff is on the left just after you make the left turn past Oyster Creek Campground (heading towards the wood). The Vb wall will have the easier stuff and the Boob wall is obviously more fun.

This is Birthday boulder, above Kirkwood Lake. The Devils gate road on the map is the one on the right as you approach Kirkwood about a 1/4 mile from the entrance.

Thanks. Headed toward KW. Lake and to look for Birthday after lunch.
Ended up hiking to Granite Lake in the morning. Some stuff along the way to climb. Decent short hike with mild elevation gain and great views of the Thunder Mountain south face cirque.
up past granite lake (and amy i think) is platinum boulders which are pretty cool but super tough to find in the woods and buggy til about now.
We think we found boob and Vb walls. Played around in that entire area for a while Monday. Climb a few things that might not have names and some mid routes up vb. He really enjoyed it.
I think I found Birthday boulder. I scrambled around that area just before dinner Sunday. Is the cave on its backside really just where the boulder over hangs the rock below?
Walked up from the cabin. There is a forest service cabin asking $170k on Devils Gate. Only a half mile from the entrance of KW.
Loving the summer stoke thread.
Headed to Tahoe tomorrow...
Should I bring chains?
I’ve seen him on the road. I think his car just blasts a straight line through bumps.

Anyone know anything about SV movies on 22nd?
Any maggots showing up?
Anyone know if the JJones movie is gonna play anywhere up in Tahoe?

No, no flow below there. We were hiking down.
Actually, looks like my buddy (TheImmaculateDeception) isn't fit enough to make it up for movie, so we might just wait for Reno showing.

Did anybody go see the "Keep Squaw True" movie this past Friday?
In regards to other cinematic ski stoke:
Level 1 Productions' ZIG ZAG screening Friday, Sept. 28th @ Moment Ski Factory in Reno.
TGR Movie premier at Squaw this Sat after Oktoberfest... As usual Ill be playing reggae music before the show on the KT Sun Deck
Dookey- I made it to the "Keep Squaw True" premier. The Gaffneys outdid themselves, good stuff all 'round- very political, but good, really political and really (well- I think you get the picture, so to speak)...
Don't go see it if:
You think it's a ski movie, or if you work for KSL or Alterra, or you happen to be on the Placer Co. Board of Supervisors, or if you support the gondola "interconnect", or if you don't know who Debbie Dutton is.
If you hung out with Andy Wirth in any social or business way- I think I'd skip it also.
Other than that, it's all open to discussion.
