Strong wind gusts forecasted over the ridges tommorrow kiddos. I'm gettin a little worried with the way the lifts have been acting up at KW this year.........

yeah , you wouldn't want to be on the steep and deep on KT-22 (never on wind hold) when it's like that!

....It's not the wind you need to worry about. It's really called "money hold." The wind is just Cohee's clever scapegoat.

**Jim S** · 01-14-2006, 12:07 AM

I have not f'ing idea where to go tomorrow.

Rose will be on windhold as will be much of Heavenly.

K'wood is a 100 minute drive and to be avalanced out of the parking lot or on windhold would drive me insane.

Squaw KT should run but their lack of elevation is killing them this year.

And I shouldn't wine like a bitch at all since I'm blessed to live close to these places.

Dude...I'm kind of in the same boat. Gunning for KW, but will have to make a call in the morning based on road closures as I'm comin up from Folsom. (then again, it's 10 PM here with no sign of anything coming down yet...grrrrrr).

The trees at Sierra are always fun on a storm day and if the KW lifts are on hold I guess.

hmm...thinking about Sugar Bowl too....they're little higher than KT yes?

BLOODSWEATSTEEL · 01-14-2006, 12:14 AM

I also think H-wood is gonna be the $$ tomorrow. Just a matter of making that long ass drive....

**guermo** · 01-14-2006, 12:41 AM

homewood??? jeez

keep thinking that... most technical steeps we've skiied in years.....

**powpig** · 01-14-2006, 01:50 AM

PLEASE let this thread die! WSW downgraded to a Snow Advisory. Damn thing is splitting, way too warm outside with broken clouds overhead. How many more jinxes do I have to endure?
PLEASE let this thread die!!!

**AKA** · 01-14-2006, 03:40 AM

Well the anticipation was fun, anyway. It doesn't look like its gonna happen folks its 1:30am in SLT and the temp outside is a balmy 45deg. Cohee's 4:30 update said that the storm is now only expected to drop 6"-maaaaaaaaaybe a little more.

Yeah, well. Welcome to this winter. It sucks.

**Tyrone Shoelaces** · 01-14-2006, 08:13 AM

Anticipating a 2 foot blower storm and getting this bullshit is like picking up a hot asian chick at a bar, taking her back to your pad, then finding out she's a fucking Thai ladyboy when you remove his panties.

The question remains, SuPu: do you still go skiing? (so to speak)

**Arty50** · 01-14-2006, 09:31 AM

Pussys! Go skiing!

**freshies** · 01-14-2006, 09:49 AM

ya'll quit your bitching: its dumping here in Truckee/TD this AM as of 7:30am. Its going to be a cold storm, the snow is super-light, just went out and did a quick pit test in the yard

high winds too, Alpine only got an 1" overnigt, but it just got going. Today is a day of chores and then football watching and drinking. (speaking of: i will be at blue coyotee at 5 for the broncos vs pats game if anyone wants to meet up for beers and wings)

Sunday is the day to ski 'ze fresh powder and then watch the Bears dominate with an apres beer.

**freeskisquaw** · 01-14-2006, 10:02 AM

Squaw today.

Wind dosen't look brutal.

**gimpy** · 01-14-2006, 10:06 AM

jesus fucking christ. will you assholes stop posting in this thread. its the middle of january. continued posting in this thread will contribute to temps rising 10-20 degrees to bring 10,000' snow levels and nuthin but breakable crust for the rest of the season.

please...............seriously.............no, really

and tomorrows gonna suck. the blower thats nuking outside right now is gonna stop any second and its gonna start raining. this snow sucks. now i have to clear my driveway and i might get some snow on me. the horror.

**lph** · 01-14-2006, 10:32 AM

Nope, I think this thread stays on page 1 UNTIL we get a decent storm cycle resulting in the need for multiple Tahoe TR's that replace this beauty, OR we get to 1,000 posts whatever comes first.

**MTT** · 01-14-2006, 12:16 PM

It is snowing in Verdi,

This usually means that good things are happening south of here

Could be open now, but couldn't put in a full day anyway, so turned around. Bummer. It's probably really good up there today....freaking nuking and 5,000 snow level.

See ya's manana

what was open? web site said summit and scott closed all day today....

**hop** · 01-14-2006, 05:16 PM

KW was good. 6 was spinning, 10 was not. Utah snow in most places (still hitting bottom) but other places were deeeeep. Windy as fuck, but not horrible once you got off the ridge.

Tomorrow should be the bomb.

**Jim S** · 01-14-2006, 06:26 PM

Kirkwood was money today

I went and hooked up with Mr and Mrs Corky at the 'wood at about 8:30am and the winds were not that bad. It puked the whole time and it was about 4-6" on crust but overall a nice soft feel and snow wasn't too heavy at all.

Tomorrow I'll hit Rose and Wednesday Squaw. Rose will be great as lifts are close and it's still puking in Reno!
