Tahoe Weather, Conditions, Stoke, and What's Up Thread...

[powdork]

thought about washing mine, but i'll be driving through the rain toooootah. but leaving town is doing my part.

[shakyknees]

Yeah no. If it were our old dog, I'd be a speck.

AC was using a short pole and a Flip camera this time around. On the tails of my skis pretty much.

On a real shoot he uses the big cameras and does actual post-production.

Thanks for setting me straight on that - guess I was fooled by the low angle and the close follow. Very cool perspective, a real closeup look at the skier's technique.

East face of Jakes skied well today, but the trees at the bottom were a bitch.

Glad to hear ... wasn't worth the $70 in gas to me and MapleLeaf for a windy gamble today, so we had some nice rock climbs with schuss along the N. Fork American instead. California never fails to deliver, even when Ullr doesn't.

Auburn...?

[SchralphMacchio]

[powdork]

what about meeeeee? i woulda drove there instead of the climbing gym dammit.

[shakyknees]

Warm gusty winds and high clouds today kept the snow tasty top to bottom.

It's worth it, great varied rock with a lot of good texture, even though I'm a hack at rock climbing. We'll be back, for sure.

Forgive my ignorance, but where is that? I guess I need to start leaving the climbing harness and shoes in the car.

Took the weekend off, and was regretting it by 11am.

Edit: Nevermind, looks like its around Auburn, I guess.

A doggie POV might be pretty interesting, Powdork I wonder if you could figure out a way to attach one to Nacho?

[SchralphMacchio]

^You'd have to film that at 60fps and then re-adjust the rate down to 2/3 speed or something ... otherwise we'd all be throwing up and sick just trying to keep up with wtf is going on in the video

Yup. Pumping surf, no wind and 70F on the cliff at noon thirty. Cali does deliver.

Raining at the lake - anyone know what the snow level was last night?

[powdork]

according to the radar it was (and still is) just a little above the lake

[Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer]

Raining at the lake - anyone know what the snow level was last night?

It was raining at my house at 6,200 ft all night and still is. But looking at the trees, around 6,500 ft is snow line.

[powdork]

i am feeling the effects of this sad weather. in fact, i'm pretty sure i've come down with a bad case of


terminal cancer.

Long story short, the last of my hiking buddy's is getting married so we got a cabin in Truckee to drink beer and ski. We are going to stay up late and drink too much. So I'm hoping to find a local hill we can yo-yo, drink beer at the top and bottom, not get lost. No dawn patrols, no Gnar avi path, just some place some hungover, middle aged hacks can skin and ski?

[powdork]

80 offramp???

[LongShortLong]

Snowing hard at 7800, and wet.

[frorider]

In Meyers it was raining lightly in the morning, but in the last hour it's cooled from 38 to 36 F and is snowing moderately hard.

Too lazy/hungover to drive to kwood today--any mags have a report?

[powdork]

i think longshortlong's brief was from the valley

Confirmed. A good layer of spackle is being applied now. The base layer remains edgable, so this should set us up for whatever Ullr brings.

You could go real easy and hit the old ski slope above the Cottonwood Bar. OR go to either Castle Peak or Negro Canyon (Donner Lake West Exit). Both mellow (mostly) terrain. Good for drinking beer.

Sweet thanks for the info. We are also talking about skiing sugar bowl on Friday. Any resort recommendations? I have not been to Tahoe in over a decade.
