Tahoe Mags where is this?

[laseranimal]

sorry about the poor quality, its from Disney's Soarin ride at Epcot. Its obviously Tahoe cause when you fly over the rock outcropping you see the lake, but what mountain is it?

[huck4bucks]

Sugar Bowl? Mt. Lincoln?

[skier666]

That would be from the Mt. Lincoln Express (old Silverbelt Chair) at SugarBowl....looking at the Palisades/48's. Just by you mentioning Disney would always bring SB as a first guess. Walt Disney was one of the original investors in 1938.

That's what I thought, only been there one day though.

[guermo]

although it looks a ton like sugar bowl , I don't think it is. If you've ridden the ride , you crest those rocks and you are out over the lake. If you crested the palisades at sugar bowl , you'd be going south over the pacific crest. I thought heavenly too the first time i rode that ride , but not sure.

[mmcpheet]

Due to the proximity to the lake and the cliffs with a gnar factor of ~8.37, I'm inclined to guess Northstar.

This view on Sugar Bowl's page looks like the above with less of a motion sickness factor.

[davey]

thats not the backside of twin peaks is it? I dunno what the backside looks like so Im probably wrong

[el penoso]

I dont think it its S.B at all. Although it could be the west facing slope on the other side of sugar bowl. That picture is too blurry to say for sure.

^^^ me likey avitar

[upallnight]

sorta looks like they flew over jakes from the west ...so the lake would come into full view immediately afterwards.

A couple of pics for your comparative pleasure.

West slope of Mt. Lincoln


Palisades ridge on Mt. Lincoln, no large foot shaped lake in sight.

[BLOOD SWEAT STEEL]

Looks like the south ridge off Rubicon Peak (between Rubicon & Maggies) as you would fly directly over towards Bliss state park.

[skier666]

That first pic still looks like the Palisades at SB on a low year. Its some of the most consistent gnar pitch at any resort in Tahoe.

[Ottime]

Does anyone have a pic from last season for comparison? We definately had a low season. I think the outcropping is too big for Palisades IMO

[SkiCougar]

actually when i did that ride at Epcot in this past April... i thought it might have been somewhere off of Heavenly. but i am not a Heavenly skier so what do i know. in any case, those pix do look like Sugarbowl... and that would make sense with the Disney connection.

its not heavenly. heavenly doesnt have a ridge like that anywhere.

could be northstar or sugarbowl(but i've never skied SB, so i wouldnt know).

[davey]

anyone have a pic of the backside of this?

After watching the video at 01:35, this would make sense with Heavenly across the lake. Nice huck off the top rock too.

[Steven S. Dallas]

Whatever, Epcot sucks. Captain Eo is where it's at.

I may have to spend a couple days at Sugar Bowl this year.

Disney MAGIC mothafuckers!!!!!!!

Surely they would never lie or deceive for the sake of profit.

I watched it four times before noticing the skiers.

[davieboot]

It definitely is not the backside of twin peaks. I was up there yesterday, and it isn't cliffy at all. It sort of just rolls over really steep.

anyone have a pic of the backside of this?
