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

**TahoeJ** · 11-20-2012, 11:37 PM

Any word on how much Alpine is actually enforcing the no uphill traffic policy? As in, did they put it on Facebook to deflect the masses or are they seriously cracking down?

I'll be at Squaw on Friday and Saturday but was hoping to fit in a quick skin there if possible one morning. (Squaw is opening the upper mountain on Thanksgiving, BTW).

^^ Yes he does work there. Yes they will get you set up with some nice boots.

Seems one has to do some slogging to get fresh tracks right now. I was kinda over the 200' runs at Reno/Tamarack Mt Ski Area so we put in a little extra mileage and were rewarded with epic pow on all aspects and we didn't see a soul the entire day.

I'm in need of a new pair of ski boots and was just wondering if there was any particular place you guys would recommend. Someone told me powderhouse but I wanted some more opinions. Thanks

Start Haus x3. Got my gf's boots there- the bootfitters were so good makes me realize that I made a mistake getting mine down in the bay...

Thanks all. Gonna call up tomorrow to make an appt this Friday most likely.

looks like kirkwood is going to be able to open 6 in the winds. however, watching the radar, it lookslike the snow level bumped up above 10k there for a half hour or so before dropping back down to 7.5-8k

I bought boots at Starthaus yesterday. I can't believe that Phil guy wouldn't come in on his day off to sell them to me.

Speaking of my new boots. If anyone has a pair of Tecnica Cochise Tech soles (AT/dynafit) that they'd sell me for cheap, please PM me. I'd like to pay less than $50 shipped.

That explain the poor snow report on the phone this morning. I don't understand Australian that well, but I think she said a few inches.

Should make stomping to the cabin a bit easier

All rain at the Wood. 6 Is spinning and it is wet. At least it will be firm in the AM

**Ottime** · 11-21-2012, 02:32 PM

I told her to stop talking shit about you Mike. I apologize. She can't help it. She's a New Yorker

I skipped the "firm in the AM" one...

This thread has jumped the shark.

**powdork** · 11-21-2012, 06:41 PM

yes. one of those days when i kept saying i was gonna go, but kept going back for 1 more run. and it got better, or a least, less sucky, every run.

**unpossible** · 11-21-2012, 06:43 PM

TMRF should just retitle this thread "that's what she said".

**Nuthon** · 11-21-2012, 07:46 PM

If anyone is interested. Football game @ south tahoe high school 10am -1pm thanksgiving day. We play flag so don't worry about getting hurt. This is year 13 I think. Early drinking !! Get away from the family for awhile or bring them with you. Hope everyone has a great turkey day

**pajamas** · 11-21-2012, 10:06 PM

**Ottime** · 11-21-2012, 10:06 PM

Well, everyone left and I had to continue to do it all alone. More fun than I expected. And it did not rain on me. Will see what tomorrow brings. Time to get the little one out on some skis.
