Kirkweed roll call 1/10-11 and Call the Kirkweed report!!!

Ha!!! My daily dose of comedy is to call the Kirkweed snow report 1-877-KIRKWOOD

It sounds like Cokehead is having Coke withdrawals today.....fucking hilarious

"Thanks..........................for.............. ....... calling...............Kirkwood............it ........... is............ friday ...........morning..just after....5am......early....in... the ............. morning............"

instead of the usual

"THANKSFORCALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLINGKIRKWOOD! IT IS 5AM IN THE EARLY MORNING!!!!!!!!!!!!"


I'm out for the weekend. gonna be chasing some T&A in Vegas :D

Ha, i called it earlier, he sounds half asleep.

Bastard never failed to update it or the website, 6 and 10 have been on windhold!!:mad:

I'm out, gotta work. :(

Just when everyone's out, I'm in??

I'm finally back in town and will likely be at KW on Saturday.

Since I havent used the Sugar part of my Sugarwood pass Im thinkin about hittin the Bowl Sunday.

Hey Schmear, don't worry Telenater and I will be up there, so you can change nickles with a couple of us at least. 10 at 10. And what's this about 10 and 6 being on hold???????? :(

We're driving up from Sacramento early tomorrow morning, do a full day, then do a half day on Sunday. I'm driving this time, so I say we do a little drinkin' in S. Lake Sat. evening.

I hear there's no powder projected in the next day...I mean, when is the last time it snowed there anyway? Hello? Ullr?

Bueller?

Bueller?

Ullr?

Ullr? ..........

hold off this w/e......crap conditions......man, its been a loooonnggg time since i said that.......dec was all time, cold storms, dump after dump after dump....but warm temps and no real new snow will make for less than ideal conditons in coming days....but hey, its still skiing! good luck out there...i am hitting the road and/or mtb's this w/e for the first tiem since halloween (when it started snowing)....

I'll be the guy with the quasimoto crimp in his neck, Schmear, lets hook up. Crack - I might be into the Sugar for a day.

That's a good idea, freshies...my cannondale is getting v-e-r-y lonely.....hopefully I'll hit it up on Sunday. But crap or no-crap conditions, I'm still skiing Saturday! :)

I'll be there tomorrow.
This warm wind sucks! Been hanging out in shorts here and the snow is just evaporating (actually sublimating) before my eyes!

The exact same thing happened last year... Awesome December and then nothing until March. Is it still winter or what? I am wearing short sleeves in the Bay Area and driving around with my windows down. WTF!??:confused: :mad:

But last week was awesome:D

Temperatures on the remote satellite gauge at nearby Caples at 8k showed lower 40s midday Thursday near freezing last night and lower 40s today. So no hard freeze and a couple days into the 40s a bit won't be such a big deal. Although that will melt a bit of surface snow, there ought to be lots of fine snow just below the surface from last week's cold dump. It's mid winter so quiite a bit of the mountain and particularly the chutes never see sun. I'm glad they only received 2 inches of wet snow this week versus the threat of a major pineapple storm media was chattering about. Instead the exceptionally heavy cold air mass which came in last weekend was not about to be pushed away by those warm systems so beat the szhit out of em. Seen it before and will happen again. Just a few skiers down each run will uncover fine snow. Center Wall ought to a blast.

RB, And as to last season, that was a bit different in that the huge pineapple storm came in after Christmas and totally buried all the good cold snow we had been getting. Then like you say it dried up. -dave

Splat Im down for the Wood or the Bowl as long as your there doooooooood.

see you guys in a couple weeks at the weed, got to study for finals, but I will be at sierra on sunday.

6, 3 and 4 were shut all day today, but they opened 10 around 11am. Conditions were hard windpack, but not too bad. hardrider, kush, and I spent time off 10 most of the midday and had a rail box slide session in the pm. The park and the the pipe are in good shape. Was a good day for that stuff. Hopefully, the winds will let up a bit.

like the Dawg said it wasnt too bad today. I think everyone is a tad spoiled from the past few weeks. The snow is chalky and firm but totally edgeable. If the wind dies down tomorrow should be really fun. But whats with that monster out in the Pacific?? Just saw it on the WC radar, could be interesting come monday.

Hey splat, telenater, divegirl, et al,

Looks like I'm down for Sunday instead of Saturday. I'll check in here again tomorrow.

Hmmmm...ski the Wood tomorrow or drive an hour and a half to ski Flatstar with my gaper snowboarder friends...

See ya at the Wood!!!

I'm out for manana, Schmear. My permalashed neck keeps acting up. The more I take it easy, the better it gets,but I kinda pushed it by going today. Plus, Arty pushing me out of the chair almost added a concussion to my plethora of aches. I was a veg all day.

From here on out I'll be up quite a bit, so we'll hook, no worries. I've basically spent the entire first third of the season skiing in Washington.

Weekdays? or just weekends?

Both. Just got back from KW, and will probably be up again on Thursday. It changes every week depending on work schedules.

Great weekend . . . spent Saturday on Tallac for some epic windbuff and hardpack (nothin' like a big hike for shitty conditions - I felt like I was in Argentina again!). It was a cool day though and there's some pretty cool stuff up there, not to mention a great view and a beautiful day! Hot though - when did spring get here?!? Winter, come back!!!!!!!!!!!

Good day at KW today - not the powder heaven of last weekend, but certainly worthy and a day with lots of good laughs! My stomach better be sore tomorrow :-) Skied a bunch off the wall, one run off Thunder Saddle, a few out in the Palisades, and whatever happened to creep up in between. It's just great to be skiing, whatever the mountain happens to provide. This weekends only stuff is bullshit!!! I need to start investigating early retirement :-)

Clack, were you up there today . . . I got your message, but I don't have your phone number written down so I couldn't call you back! One of these days I will get responsible . . . lord knows when that will be, however!

For those of you who did bc routes, I'd love a report!!!

was also up on tallac on saturday. great day but only wind buffed hardpack everywhere. what line did ya ski and when did ya summit??? on our 1st run off kalimea (sp?) ridge we nearly had an incident. the 3rd person traveling in our party set off a cornice failure and was nearly taken for a ride. i guess it's really true to stay farther back from corniced ridges then what you think is ok. 2nd run down the right arm of the cross (cheater entrance) and found more of the same w/ some dreaded crust below about 8,000'. the next morning went up for a quikie on waterhouse and found that the goods are still there for the taking. decent medium density powder buff in the gully bowl and soft boot deep pow in the trees around the skintrack.

Gimpy- Details. Oh, I'm glad no one got hurt.
