There's some soft stuff out there if you know where to look. . . .

Give me a holler next time you head up there. I've got a pass.

How you make that look skiable is amazing.




Let it Snow!

I need a fix.

Alpine was as I expected conditions wise (dust on crust), and much busier than I would have imagined. They filled up lots and were parking at Deer Park, something that hasn't happened in January (supposedly).

Spent some time in the beacon field they have set up near subway. Word is they're going to have a "daily problem" listed on a sign and a member or two of patrol on weekends. As of right now, no beacons buried anywhere else on the mountain.

Going for the Sugar Bowl to Squaw tour tomorrow, with an overnight at Benson Hut.

Anyone know where to park overnight at either end?

Also, the hut has room if anyone wants to head out there with the two of us.
Any other pertinent beta appreciated.

Powdork - The private property on Jack's Valley belongs to none other than John "Jack" Ascuaga. Go blow some big cash at the Sparks Nugget and you might just get a hall pass to cross to the promised land.

Seriously. I left at 10:40 after skiing a little over an hour while the dishwasher ran,* then drove home to turn off the water and head downhill. Chalet Road was full and they were turning cars.

* Which wasn't much more fun than just sitting and watching the dishwasher.

I am heading to Squaw next week for a trip booked 6 months ago. Is it that bad out there?

[powdork]

A good friend of mine will be out in that area. Ryan Palmer, he'll have a snowskate with him. He's done the huts a couple of times before & knows the area fairly well. Good luck on finding something with fun snow.

You all suck ( except you Nuthon) Snow is good wherever you find it. Ya'lls bunch a bitches right now. Enjoy any snow sliding that graces your future. Things could really be a lot worse, trust me.

[BGnight]

Well, it seems I picked the right week to get the flu (or cold...can't tell which...not fun though)

The mountains? The snow? Or the "people"?

When you and I finally meet face to face I'm gonna dry hump your leg till the denim wears off.

I don't care how big you are, how meticulous your haircut, or how our on-site sobrieties match up, that pant leg is gettin some friction.

Here's how the snow was today at Kirkwood.....I've had better.


Thanks to my bald snowboard friend for a few good runs today, and some intelligent chairlift conversation about dog dick.
Also, I would like to thank the the two drivers that blew threw the Kirkwood entrance. It never fails, and is always entertaining.

Whatever that is at "having second thoughts" looks awesome. I've got to get back to kirkwood.

JFC is it like mandatory for Tahoe "locals" to not move more than 5 feet from their internet connection in pursuit of skiing?

Squaw was much better than I was expecting today. The key was to just not make any turns and temporarily fool yourself into believing there wasn't any boilerplate underneath those 3 inches up top.

[flipsRscary]

The 2" of dust would even sustain turns as long as you stuck to really low aspects.

Not a day I need to remember forever, but still way better than work. Also better than the skiing this time last year.

Squaw was pretty empty actually. Odd that Alpine would have been packed.

[TahoeJ]

^^ I thought it was odd too. Woke up at the condo (right near the base of Alpine) and headed for Squaw because I was meeting some friends there and was surprised by how many cars I passed while driving down the road. Then got to Squaw and the parking lot was practically empty. Maybe because AM reported 2" vs. only 1" for Squaw?
