I am almost positive that they bombed thimble and caused that slide on '99 steps' on Tuesday of last week.
Biggest crown I have ever seen. Had to be 10ft+ on Wednsday when I rode chair 4. Slide debris all the way down to the flats under chair 4.

well it looks like winter came in for a quickie and left the second he was finished. weather report predicts a high of 60 degrees next weekend...
I have a few more pics to add to this thread... These are all from Alpine Meadows on 3.1...

Tahoe Temps Firing!!!!
No kidding 6'er. 64 degrees on Sunday! 65 on Monday.
Gimpy and I were an hour early for the quality corn run this AM on Red Lake. Since we had job duties we couldn't chill in the sun and wait for the thaw. So instead we did 2,500' of firm snow foot massage, joint loosening, filling shaking skiing. I should have brought ear plugs!
Definitely freeze thaw up to 10,000'.
we were skiing at 8 am and even w/ a clear sunny sky it was just barely edgeable. weird cause its usually fine by then, but i think 9:30-10 would have been ideal today. methinks that the little bit of precip/rain we got yesterday caused the pack to really freeze hard last night. on teus i skied a lesser known corn run on tallac and it was pretty good by 8 but the pack wasn't nearly as consolidated as red lakes.
and yeah lph, we were skiing the east face of red lake but not the gully itself.
some more pics related to the above...

Thank gawd we never have to worry about that dangerous 'snow' stuff again this winter.

Just flew up with Shugs from San Jose. The temp gauge was reading 32 F at 11, 500 feet. OUCH! The cloud cover made everything look depressing, took some RAW recon shots of Kit Carson/Iron Mountain, etc.

Every man dies. Not every man lives.
You don’t stop playing because you grow old; you grow old because you stop playing.
I'm firing tahoe.
It's just not working out.

are you flying in a cessna or a private jet? you look pretty close to the windscreen.
Definitely not a Gulfstream V.Looks like a Cessna.
Just got back in last night after 5 days in squaw. Fantastic trip......Hit every peak and hiked Granite Chief and the Palisades <s>.
tahoe people...you win.
Who needs a 747 when you're rolling on 6's on a Cessna 182 TURBO!
