Saw Baby J hit the massive cliff lookers left /skiers right of chammys today at the wood.
Big!

Surprisingly good weekend at KW. 6-8 inches of wet pow with a soft squishy base skied quite smoothly. It's almost May! Where's my Spring corn already?

[ja_surf]

KW is offering up a free ticket for anyone with a pass to another Tahoe resort. Will not be good on Memorial Day, so you have until this weekend.

Pretty nice if you have a Heave pass and want one more day of lift serve. Bet it was good today.

Thanks for the heads up, might just have to head over on Sunday to close out my lift served season.

[Ottime]

Glad you liked it. I will hopefully get some sort of mojo and improve... I have about 5 million songs I want to use so there are plenty of opportunities to practice.


I just wanted to share something amazing that happened to me... And since I'm hiding on Facebook this is the most vis I can get for this...

Back Story:
Remember years ago when Jerry Seinfeld had the AmEx commercial where he would spend and everything would be perfect? Somewhere around 93-94 I believe. Well, in one of those commercials he pumped gas and the price came out something like an even $20.00 and the gallons pumped were something perfect also. Since then, which by the way was before I was even driving, every time I put the nozzle into the tank's orifice I would try and make the perfect pour. <- No shit! I would seriously look for the perfect pour and I have been doing it since that commercial. I have come close, but today I hit the nail on the head. I just went one more click on the filler and BOOM! PERFECT POUR!

FEAST YOUR EYES ON THIS!

If the weather is nice this Saturday I will be at Squaw where I will happily sign autographs and take pictures for free, but no touching... Looking's free, touching is going to cost you!

POST: 4996!

You can get gas in Tahoe for $4.05 a gallon. That is a surprise.

Free all around?

I saw that KW is offering a free ticket for showing a pass from any other resort, BTW.

repost from the lbd thread

Re: KW longboard redux, if anyone wants the Atomic Bionics - I love how that rolls off the tongue - (307ish BSL with oldskool Look "Sensor" turntables) or lady longboard 198 MSLs (demo binders with adjustable toepiece that can fit AT or alpine bails), let me know (you have to clear it with Ottime though). I'm out of town this weekend but if you want to swing through the Oakland area and Ottime says coolio then just give me a PM.

Squaw ubercam looks so tasty that I'm just about to stab myself in the heart...

Now I'm going back to my work....you are welcome.

^ chimney starting to get filled in...

there's gonna be some good corn turns in extra when the weather warms up...

could be my third straight season where my first trip to the pallisades is made on the last day of season!

[the_immaculatedeception]

Someone might want to queue up a few ambulances in SF... 666's post has just led to a second case of heart stabbing here and I'm suspecting a few more on the way as people log in from work....

Still have an Alpine comp from the fall ski movies to use up, and my knee surgery date is next week so gotta use it up this week. Anyone going up from SF for a day trip this Wed/Thurs/Fri and have room for one more urban ski bum to come along? Gas money to be contributed, coffee is on me, and tons of ski nerd chatter on the way if your down. Or I can shut up if thats what it takes for a ride.

Easter Sunday @ Sugarbowl was no joke. Snow was flowing immaculate, but it was a bit wet. Hardly any folks on the hill and plenty of freshness to be found. Sadly, I forgot extra gloves and had to quit around 1ish.

Post-Easter Monday @ Alpine Meadows was no joke. Ran into jla415 and we lapped the hell outta Gunner's Knob and scored some fresh and clean on a couple of mini-hikes up to Lower High Yellow (only Roundhouse was running and all the upper mountain was effectively closed).

Post-Easter Tuesday @ AM was full-on Vince Vaughn. Shared some hike-for-turns with jla415 again and the overnight storm had left plenty of refreshed goodness. They still haven't popped Scott Chair, so if it runs on the morrow, Post-Easter Wednesday will be DAF.

My sources suggested scott probably wouldn't spin tomorrow... Still debating my game plan for the morning.

[Ottime]

Damn the uber cam.

A few weeks ago I though, so what if I'm done, the season is done. Or so I began to fool myself. Then I thought about those days during and just after a light April snow. You know, that smoothness. Been then I was able to just pretend it was mank.

Then this uber cam bullshit. I can see the smoothness. Damn it all.

For anyone wanting, needing retro skis - msl(s) are totally up for grabs. bionics, PM me. Sounds like someone found the love on long boards.

[Sinecure]

Immaculate, I'm probably driving up Thursday (leaving Peninsula 8am), returning Saturday in time for dinner in San Mateo. May have spare room in cabin. PM if interested.

[unpossible]

Wow, thankfully I didn't see the pics 666 posted until now. Now I only have to be pissed for the rest of the day, instead of all of it.

BGnight, hopefully you made it out there today.

[RaccoonFace]

Hey 666, if you show up at squaw this Saturday I will show you how to ski all that stuff...

okbye

Squaw was unbelievably tatsy today though I did not hit any of the runs 666 captured. I'm too much of a pussy ...........................not to mention it was just too good to hike.

Headwall face and North Bowl had midwinter windy chalk. We had a difficult time pulling ourselves away from the cushy 6-pack. We did finally make a few turns of off KT, oh my!!!!! It certainly did not ski like April 26th. Winds supposed to be up tomorrow and the weather goes warm next week. Need to make some sales calls in the Tahoe/Truckee region again Wednesday. Someone's gotta do it .

Between Rose and Squaw the past 4 days have offered up some mighty delicious far from Spring skiing.

The Sierra are delivering right now. Get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FranklezZ]

Yeah Ottime, Kirkwood totally sucked today, especially Thunder... Not smooth at all.





I know crappy images from across the way.

And I should of skied the fall line.

Hands forward?

[powdork]

^^^OUCH! i couldn't make it out there today and i'm kicking myself. fuck!

[skier666]

Ugh...slash chute is just beyond the frame...drool

[FranklezZ]

^^^
It got hit.



not by me...

[Piggity]

The photos on this page alone are disgusting!

[powdork]

been staring at that pic for the past 5 minutes thinking of devilish double between v-tree and slash chute. a tad above my pay grade i'm afraid but every now and then i get in the right frame of mind. if i could just get the frame of body to cooperate...
