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

[old goat]

I need a ruling. due to my shinjury in early july I haven't been ab le to get my august turns in, which will bring a 4-5 year run of monthly turns to a halt. i think i might be able to ski now, but have to be out of my current dwelling by tomorrow at midnight, and i have to work. I might be able to string together at least 10 awesome turns on dirt over at twin peaks in a quick period tomorrow between cleaning toilets and trips to the storage. would it still count? would dropping a ledge help?

Think how relieved you will be not to have to keep the streak going. BTW--when I advised you about your shin injury on Gimp Central I never told you to end the streak, so don't blame me.

Curious JONG here, the wife says she'd like a Tahoe vacation in mid-Oct at a "nice stone lodge with a view of the lake." I've always been on the total dirtbag plan when I went to Tahoe, but I'd kind of like to avoid the casino hell strip. Anyone got any suggestions? I'm already looking at the Ritz-Carleton - that looks like it's up at Heavenly? Any other reccos?

It's not stone and it's not Tahoe but Loch Leven lodge on the shore of Donner Lake is nice. No restaurant though.

Sunnyside

Sunnyside

Seconded.
Or that Overpriced place across from Homewood. (The West Shore Café)

Or about half the Lake Shore Motels in Tahoe Vista. (They have really renovated them and brought up the price)

Sunnyside

Oh, good one. I've had beers there but I forgot about it. Much better than that SLT shitshow.

You might check vrbo.com as well, and look for a sick place within walking distance of Sunnyside, Homewood, or Garwoods (in terms of waterfront bar access).

I'd go vrbo. Somewhere on west shore with easy access to Tahoe city and emerald bay/desolation. Or on the other side of Tahoe city near lake forest road with easy bike riding into town, easy enough access to west shore/emerald bay and slightly better access to the beaches on east shoe and rose wilderness

I want to mention, You said you wanted to avoid the Casino Strip thing, that is South Lake Tahoe.

Now on the North side of the Lake, Arguably the BEST place to stay is the Lake Side cottages At (The Hyatt) in Incline village, As someone who was raised on the north Shore of Tahoe. that would be my #1 place to look. Its kinda expensive and gets booked well in advance but October is the Between season.

If you got a place on the Beach it would be epic, Sandy beach with view across the lake, Golf in Incline, and The Flume trail and all that for MTB hiking (Whatever)

Restaurants galore, (Lone Eagle) Right next door.

Seriously it might not be available to you? But if you can book it; it is the PRIME Place for an off season Tahoe Getaway

LightRanger, splitter, MTT, all good ideas. I'll check those out. Thx.

[LightRanger]

Ditto MTT on the Hyatt. Forgot about that one. We actually looked into it as a wedding venue, but they won't let you book more than like 10 months out unless you have 250+ guests.

vrbo will let you get a sick place for cheap in October though...

Yeah...she wants daily maid service.

Meadowskipper, I'ld look into the cabins at Camp Richardson. It's south shore but there isn't any other place on the lake (other than perhaps some Billionaire's retreat) that has a lower population density in the immediate area or that gets you better access to beaches, marshes, mountain views and (easy) bike trails. Plus, only a few miles to some of the most scenic hiking trails. Plus, you can stroll over to Valhalla, sit by yourself on the grounds of an actual old Tahoe estate, and pretend you stayed there for the night (it's a museum and in the off hours you can almost have the grounds to yourself.) It ain't rich and glitzy and polished like Incline Village, I suspect there is maid service, but you won't be bowled over by either luxury or bellboys.

Friends of mine are looking to fill their ski lease in Tahoe City, next to Tahoe XC. $3000 per family gets you your own room for the parents and bunk room space for the kids. Good people who have season passes at Alpine.

[lepistoir]

Hoping for Boulder-esque precip totals (7"-9" w.e.) around here this winter.

[~mikey b]

hell - I could go for .7"-.9" of rain right now please?

[gone2alpine]

^ All precipitation must hold off until 9/23 then let it rain let it snow because I need October turns.

^ Come support efforts to re-open the Johnsville Ski Bowl (hour north of Truckee). Check out the Lost Sierra Hoedown for next weekend.

[Ottime]

I'm good with waiting till November. Or December. Lots of yard work and excavating going on.











I figured if I started this four month project in late August we would see snow by late September this year. Just doing my part.

[SchralphMacchio]

Let's evacuate this dry year misery of a thread ... new start here

Of course. They're trying to hold the Ironman that weekend. If you want it to snow, just hold a race... goes for Tour de California as well!

It's almost October

[truckee_splitter]

8" in Truckee this morning...any suggestion on low angle/rock sliding for Monday evening / Tuesday morning?

Try one of those nice low angle granite slopes off castle peak. you could drive way up there with a 4x.

[Wickedbrew4u]

Anyone there or did a new thread start for 2013-14.
