14/?? The OFFICIAL Tahoe Thread

[BigDaddy]

And for SF folks, i'm getting some people together in the next few weeks at Crissy field to bury beacons (in ziplocs of course) at the beach to practice single and multiple burials. I know i'll be rusty after not practicing all summer, so if anyone else wants to shake the dust off let me know and i'll get you the info!

-Wes

Sounds like you're set up this season.... You still windsurfing Wes? Crissy field is pretty nice, but probably know that.


You might need some new gear, tho

[The Dad]

I will happily provide credentials/references from SLC maggots, but I'm confident that I can keep up with and ski safely with any crew.

I think your credentials are well known around here.

Beacon practice is always a good idea.

Follow-up from the Squaw pass glitch:

We appreciate your understanding about the mistake we made Tuesday and know that you were disappointed that getting a pass for $1 or less really was too good to be true. You acted so quickly, though, to attempt to purchase that we believe you are excited to ski at Squaw Valley | Alpine Meadows this season.

As such, we are offering you an exclusive low price on a Tahoe Super Pass for 2014-15. To take advantage of this offer please call us by 4pm PT on October 17, 2014 to purchase your pass. This special offer is only for you and cannot be transferred. You'll be asked for your first and last name as well the email address where you received this email. Your season pass will be activated once you have completed and returned your season pass agreement and release of liability. These forms are available online and via email.

Tahoe Super Pass Special Rates for You
Gold $809 -> $499
Silver $579 ->$399
Bronze Plus $519 -> $299

Pretty solid gesture from KSL I guess.

^^ Well, you have to give them credit - that's pretty cool.

Definitely would be down for that.

Pretty much what you'd think they'd do. Seems fair.

You should counter with, "How about a refund, a bacon sandwich, and you stop using Alpine as the overflow area for Squaw?"

[Flexon Phil]

Start Haus in Truckee is looking for a couple of tuners for this coming season. If you either have tuning experience or are very good with your hands, shoot me a PM. This will be a full time position for the season. We do not have a night shift.

I'll add my signature to that letter.

Interesting. Kinda rules out the "ski during the day, work at night" approach.

Thanks dookey. A few there I hadn't come across before. I put together a Google calendar with most of them but couldn't get it to embed in a post.

But we try to do a 4 on 3 off or 4 and a late day and 2 and a morning off.

[~mikey b]

Sounds like a good gig to me. Back in the day I worked flexy full time at a couple mtn shops in Truckee and Tahoe. I skied a lot. Was better for me than doing a night shift.

This is what we do at Tahoe nowadays--watch ski films instead of ski. Maybe Ullr, or whoever the true snow god is, will be more merciful this season. Perhaps our burnt offering--100,000 acres of forest--will appease him or her.

[Skrilla Gorilla]

Looks like I'll be getting after it out the first week of February. Stoke level: simmering.

[maskinut]

Definitely would be down for that.

Likewise. I live in Ft. Mason which is right there. Happy to volunteer the grill and some beer after beacon practice.

[Wickedbrew4u]

Interesting about the cat ski op they are trying to run. I guess barely opening last year prompted something. Not sure how many people are going to be doing that. Wondering if they are going to close that section off for skinning. Probably so.

[meter-man]

Definitely would be down for that.

Yep - me too.

[lepistoir]

PSA.

Was just in the woods above the grid and there seems like a bunch of fresh cut trees in piles. They could be available for firewood because it sounds like the forest circus is just going to burn them. Anyone looking for wood heat this winter maybe contact FS or Rockwood tree service for more info.

That fresh and it will maybe be ready for next winter. Unless you are making a smoke lodge. Thanks for the beta though. I might bring a saw up withe I I get up next weekend. Wood is good.

Hey flexon phil,

I tried to PM you but your mailbox is full. I'm looking for a ski tuning position, 10 years experience. I will send an e-mail to start haus.
