Tahoe '24/'25 - This Thread Shall Not Be Privatized!!

[TahoeJ]

About that rumor regarding the Funi being inoperable this season, I’ve heard that around lately but I’ve also had people tell me some work was being done but it’s not true and it’ll be running soon. Anyone have the skinny on that? Kind of a big deal if we only have wa she shu and the tram to get up top.

Apparently ....... not.

But they're working on it.

They did indeed get Lincoln running - you called it Mikey!

Thanks for posting this. They are also down here in the Carson Valley, turning over trash cans and tearing up cars. The people who defend the bears no matter what remind me a bit of the feral horse fanatics. Bears are at least native to the area.

The local bear population far exceeds the natural carrying capacity of the environment. The break into houses and cars or they starve. Shooting problme bears seems more humane.
OTOH bears may be native to the area, but humans aren't even native to the continent.

They can be a bit a bit fanatical. There's an argument on both sides. If these were Grizzlies I bet they'd act a bit differently.

Folks in our neighborhood are great about closing the lock bars on our dumpsters. The tourists are too dumb (?) To figure out how the bars work, so they leave their trash sitting next to the dumpsters. It gets raided without fail.

Up at the house my dog has been highly effective keeping bears away. He loves chasing them and is damn good at his "job." He's highly effective against two foot annoyances, also.

My cocker and cockapoo chased a bear up the hill behind our else. Very glad it wasn't a grizzly. My neighborhood has a hound. We leave the cougars to him. (One cougar anyway.)

Best day of the season so far.

Skiing was good today and will be tomorrow, except for here. The line will likely be gone after tomorrow.

Per what I consider a reliable source, there is a broken gearbox. They're expecting to have it up by 12/5.

The Bear Leage may disagree about over population, but Fish and Game feels otherwise. We had a problem bear a few years back. It broke into my neighbors house and both of our campers. Fish and Game told me to shoot it. We were able to drive it away without having to do that. My dog played a big part. I also gave it a warning shot. It got the picture and hasn't been back.

Unfortunately you don't really even want to eat these trash bears. Their meat is pretty nasty, so it's a waste to shoot one.

It was really great!! Huge thanks to SB patrol and all of the work they're doing. I forgive SB for selling those $39 passes (but please don't do it again).

Summit and Roundhouse at AM today. I dont think I can squeeze laps into the family plans.

When do you need it? I can be down there next week.

[dookeyXXX]

I, for one, appreciate the gesture of the $39 day ticket.
It’s a much needed throwback to the days when Tahoe didn’t cater to the pass holder, second home owner or rich entitled tech bro, but rather to the core skier who saved up their hard earned $$$ to squeeze in a day on the slopes.

I wish more hills did this. It goes a long way to spreading a semblance of goodwill and community vibes towards long time locals who have lived and worked here pre-2020 Covid migration.

I would be interested to see stats on who bought those $39 tickets.
Locals? Folks up for the holidays who don’t have a pass anywhere.?
Randos who were lured in by the cheap ticket?
Also be interested to know the % breakdown of how many folks who were at SB were pass holders and how many bought the $39 tix…

Anyway, I thought it was cool that they did that. I have been skiing in the area long enough to remember when you could score $39 SB tix at Wild Cherries…

In regards to the bears, I had one get into my box twice last month. First time in 15 years of living in my house that that’s happened. Started using the extra lock on the box and taking trash out morning of pick-up and that seems to have solved the problem.

No disrespect, but i have a hard time believing that a serious diet would not buy a season pass somewhere

It’s a sad state of affairs when one has to go on a serious diet in order to be able to afford a season pass…

[bodywhomper]

I liked the $39 deal. It was announced when the realistic hopes were for man made snow and WROD conditions.

My young ski days were skiing in California in the 80’s, and I feel like long lift lines and slow lifts were the norm. I love hot lapping powder days with no lift lines, but am ok with longer lines and cheaper tix.

With the change of the terrain park location, it seems likely SB may have longer lines for Xmas tree and Lincoln lifts. It’ll be fun watching the air show from the lift lines and the lifts.


Argh

[powdork]

Yeah, I mean a pass is only 2700 packs of ramen. Surely you could cut that from your diet.

Congrats on getting rich and soft

PSA
These guys are throwing down at the golf course in TC on Saturday 11/30.
I saw them do an acoustic set at Good Wolf back in October and they shred.

Maggots always seem to come through…
