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

[powdork]

^^exactly. what matters is whether the rocks are fixed or loose.
loose scree is fun to ski.
fixed rocks suck cocks

[Ottime]

Don't take this advise! Fixed rocks actually scrape the hell out of your cock.

And on another note, it looks like someone around here has another alias and sponsorship.

Your buddy might wanna do a little more research before his next round of tees...or at least do some copyediting.

the description for his "Historic Route 40" short sleeve t-shirt states:

"You just skied Mt. Pluto, throw this on before you head to your favorite apres destination?"

(http://www.slackcountryclothing.com/...-ss-tshirt.htm)

1. Mt. Pluto is part of Northstar (actually the highest peak at the resort), so it's not really slackcountry
2. Mt. Pluto is off of Hwy 267 and not really anywhere near Historic Route 40.

just sayin'...

Why is it that when someone is "just sayin" they are usually WRONG or just sayin something nobody wants to hear.

You've got the wrong Mt Pluto. That there is a Disney reference.

Old 40

[old goat]

If you kill a man in Reno just to watch him die they won't send you to Folsom prison in California. But no one gave Johnny Cash grief about it.

[Tahoe tim]

Nah no Disney reference. Pluto is NS. Judah and Donner is old 40. Disney = SB. He got it wrong, I still bought a 431 t-shirt though, cause....you know.

[~mikey b]

I was just sayin....

Why is it.?.?.?

heh, I'll ask him about that... though perhaps only his favorite Apres destination is what is near Old 40... although, then his shirts should say "Apres Old Route 40" not "Ski Old 40"... you get the drift!

probably nobody at Martis Camp or the Ritz Apres would buy "Ski 267" shirts so there's that angle too!

edit: oldgoat - nice line! Yes, poetic license I believe is in effect here...

If it had US 40 Nevada on it I would buy it, As I live @ 1155 West HWY 40 Verdi Nevada

Ohh so close. I just cannot wear something with California on it

[liv2ski]

CA is nice. Look at that picture thread Schralph did. The state can't help that is governed by a bunch of idiots.

Well, it could, but that would require the other idiots realizing it.

I'm pretty spoiled with good single track where I live (about 15 minutes from Annadel), so if I'm in Tahoe for one day, where should I go?

[dookeyXXX]

Hit up 4 of the 9 Wu-Tang Clan patches today with Vets, G2A, and Rossi the Wonder Retriever. Snow was sweet summer corn.

Most of the lines 666 skied a few weeks ago are done, though, but the Method Man Patch is nice and long and pretty damn smooth (not to mention fairly easy to access).

Weather was sunny until about 2 when the thunder clouds came to a head. We exited without any lightning, though, which was clutch (got rained on for a bit, but nothing major).

Great day to earn July turns for sure.

Nice, with the weather we been havin, I would not want to venture out into the Mountains. well done

Thanks. It was a nearly last minute Roundtop recon mission of calculated risk/reward. (I trusted the hourly forecast and two other like-minded skiers had faith in my trust) Fortunately we received more reward.

Open to trades, I also have a welder can make chair into freestanding bench. Lets talk.
Thanks.

[powdrhound]

The patches on Round Top are shrinking rapidly. But it sure felt good to make some turns.

Glad to hear that the turns are still feeling good there. Sorry I missed it. Our recon mission west of Tahoe yielded nothing in the way of accessible/skiable snow. Let me know when you head up again. Hopefully I'll be able to join you and Bella.

[splat]

I saw your sliver above independence lake today when coming back from hsmf. Still looks like a few turns can be had on it, but round top looks better, maybe not if you have to straightline that side angle chute.

A shout out to Technical Equipment Cleaners in Truckee--repaired a zipper for me in 30 minutes. Super nice guy.

[powdork]

as long as we're making fun of marketing fails.


it's not like kirkwood's actual profile wouldn't suit the ad. and it's not like they can't get a copy of their trail map

[old goat]

Still some skiable patches on the backside of Castle Peak for someone desperate enough, and I do mean desperate.
