10/11 Tahoe Weather, Conditions, Stoke, and What's Up Thread

Fuck the Forest Service. Just build it.

[stoepstyle]

While I would generally be so inclined, we were planning on making a level above just a wood teepee from branches. More like a small building around 500-800 square feet. So if we spend all our savings on supplies and then the forest service comes and is like what the fuck are you doing that would be really shitty ahah.

I'm outside and can report NCP falling in Sparks from Sierra spillover.

Where and When? I'll be coming from the CA side.

[powdork]

don't know yet. it's coming with a high snow level which is great news for dealing with that ice layer up high. hate to have a persistent problem at the bottom of the pack.

[Ottime]

Just started dumping in SC. Bring in the cake. My next window is after the 14th. Go get some, and test that interface

PD. At what elevation did that ice layer form?

Anyone travelling from Truckee to the Bay Area this weekend? I have some skis in Truckee that I would kindly pay for someone to grab and bring down with them. I live 1 block off of 80 so it would be an easy drop off.

?????????

Dheli - I have a buddy going from Glenshire to SF today. I'll put in a call and see if he can help you out. I'll PM you if I can make it work or not

SLT mags - thanks for the offers - I ended up going out towards Fallen Leaf Lake on my way over from Truckee - Nuthon, pop-up cabover - I might hit you up sometime this winter

did y'all see the car and pickup pulled over by CHP and Eldo Co. around 5pm near the bug station? 2 trucks of 1 or 2 officers at each vehicle, all with guns drawn and covering the drivers as I drove by gaping wtf?

[Zeppelinskier]

Snow/sleeting at my place in KB. Carson? Rose?

[freshies]

10:30 AM PST, Truckee (TD) elev 6700 ft here @ mi casa it is officially DUMPING out right now. Big, fat flakes raining down. Great base-building stuff.

Drove down to WC to grab some coffee, and snow turned to slushy rain about half way down. Whoo hoo.

[Flexon Phil]

Snowing on Donner Pass Rd now.

[~mikey b]

Dheli - no go on the ski transfer, sorry

[Jim S]

Raining here at 6000 feet but snowing at Rose.

[The Dad]

puking at the bottom of Alpine....

[~mikey b]

Zep - you're in Kirkwood?

[Zeppelinskier]

North Shore

[~mikey b]

KB, not KW...

I could do Carson, but I'd need to stop and get a Sno-Park pass along the way. It wouldn't be a dawn patrol. I'm thinking of farting around out towards Red Lake Peak. Nothing big - a little tour, a few turns.

[dutch1]

mixed rain and snow in meyers
snow heavy at times
38˚ and dropping
@ 6350'

[SkiCougar]

weather channel went from forecasts of rain to snow for south lake within the past 3 hours and it changed from rain to snow at heavenly.

NOAA says it could be quite good tomorrow

dont know about that 18-24 inches though. i'm thinking 3-6; but looks like tahoe has finally cooled down enough the next decent storm should drop 2 feet without even trying.

[~mikey b]

I might end up waiting until Wed - looks like more snow Tues - a little time and some new snow on top of today's snow can't hurt - I've got plenty of cutting, splitting, stacking, raking and burning to do

also thinking of taking Owen to Boreal Tues or Thurs - they say they're reopening on Tues - the kid's been pestering me about getting out on the snow - 3 months off snow and he gets itchy, just like me
