Well most of them anyway. Squaw valley, mammoth, and some of the lake tahoe basin are yet to be reported. The averages for the Yuba and American river basins are right around 37-38%. The red mountain course off of Hwy 80 is about 46% of average, and Donner summit (under the sugar bowl gondola) is about 40%.

YEs!! I knew we would finallky get some! There is even an update now and they basically are saying the storm door is opening wednesday and is never going to shut! THe comp will be money in CII i have so many bomber lines planned, but snag cliff area is going to suck there isn't shit there. Also snag/enchanted the snow is even more firm and there just is very many lines or clean airs there, it is going to be boring to watch and hard to come up with a good enough line.

C2 supposedly will be the finals venue, with Snag Cliff as the day one (qualifying?) site. T-Boz, we should have been skiing Snags today.

**Schralps McGnar** · 02-02-2007, 09:06 PM

Defintely in for Sunday...probably at the crack of noon. Might need to bust out the ropes and ice axes and shit for Snaggle. Something tells me I should get one of those Skeletools back protector dealys.

**woodsskier** · 02-02-2007, 09:33 PM

crack of noon it is....i'll ring ya.....git t-boz there...

**T-Boz** · 02-02-2007, 10:08 PM

We didn't ski the snags because they suck balls, took one run there its not as good as CII. Won't make it sunday, have to work but monday for sure. Besides I need to let my knees rest a couple of days from all those hard flat landings. Schraples cried so bad about the conditions today, I though he was going to need a diaper or a tampon or something, waaaa! ITs to icy waaaaa!! I sure he'll cry twice as bad during your training runs.

This post made my day.

I'm heading up there this morning but might wait for it to soften up a bit. If it softens up.

**Bionic Man** · 02-03-2007, 10:11 AM

**woodsskier** · 02-03-2007, 10:17 AM

You are so fucking aggro! Just because I am a snob and don't dig on hucking onto boilerplate, does not mean I was crying. The only tears here are my sick jailhouse tats. I just thought it sucked ass. You are in denial if you think the conditions are good out there. You won't be there on Sunday because your girl has got you on a straight up leash. You will probably be at fucking Bed, Bath, and Beyond (not the sick pillow lines) during the Super Bowl.

**freshies** · 02-03-2007, 02:05 PM

I am going MTB'ing later this afternoon, brush off the old steel Yeti single speed and go abuse myself on some single track (while dreaming of making big phat Spat turns down Keyhole)...i am washing my car later today too, as no way it snows next weekend...

**T-Boz** · 02-03-2007, 02:24 PM

The conditions are fine and its not boiler plate, its pack powder and wind buff,...pussy. I have to work SUnday morning I always do. I can do anything I want to do, just because I don't want to hang out with you sorry ass dosn't mean I am on a short leash. Speaking of leashs I also have a puppy now that needs to be taken into consideration, i need to hang out with the pup more than you.

**T-Boz** · 02-03-2007, 02:25 PM

Besides Bed, Bath and Beyond = Costco which kicks ass, thats why I eat steak all the time.

**Schralps McGnar** · 02-03-2007, 02:29 PM

Did you get out there today?

Btw, I hate these Nordica Jet Fuels.

...WETTER PATTERN EXPECTED BY LATE NEXT WEEK..

THE PERSISTENT RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION IS EXPECTED
TO BREAK DOWN BY LATE NEXT WEEK AS A SERIES OF FAST MOVING SYSTEMS
ERODE THE RIDGE. A SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE TAP IS PROJECTED BY MOST
COMPUTER MODELS TO MOVE INTO THE SIERRA ON FRIDAY BEFORE POSSIBLY
SLIDING INTO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. THIS WILL
BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERAL INCHES OF LIQUID PRECIPITATION TO
THE SIERRA THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. SNOW LEVELS LOOK FAIRLY HIGH
GIVEN THE SUBTROPICAL NATURE OF THE MOISTURE TAP...BUT SIGNIFICANT
SNOWS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE HIGH SIERRA FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY.

$$

GOOD MEDIUM RANGE MODEL AGREEMENT CONTINUES DURING THE PERIOD. AN
UPPER LOW MOVES INTO POSITION OFF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST COAST WHILE
A MOIST SOUTHWEST FLOW DEVELOPS AND PERSISTS OVER CA. A LARGE
MAJORITY OF GFS ENSEMBLE CHARTS SHOW THIS PATTERN...A PATTERN WHICH
IS A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE FROM THE BLOCKING HIGH THAT HAS BROUGHT DRY
AND MILD WEATHER TO THE CWA FOR SOME TIME NOW. JET ENERGY BRINGS A
PLUME OF SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE INTO CA THURSDAY NIGHT. PRECIPITABLE
WATER VALUES OVER AN INCH REACH THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN SIERRA ON
FRIDAY...WITH THE PLUME SLIDING SLOWLY SOUTH INTO SOCAL SATURDAY.
PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS BY LATE SATURDAY COULD EXCEED 3 INCHES LIQUID
ON THE WEST SLOPES OF THE SIERRA WITH UP TO 2 INCHES EAST OF THE
CREST. SNOW LEVELS WILL REMAIN ELEVATED IN THIS MOIST AIRMASS BUT
HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE SIERRA COULD SEE SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL
TOTALS OVER THE WEEKEND.

**T-Boz** · 02-04-2007, 04:05 PM

CII is so money right now, but did anyone get out today sunday? I am fearing the super warm temps will turn aall the snow to stick mush. There are some larger drops that are possible in CII but look for the trannys. I got some great lines in my bag of tricks I will will bust out for the comp, but as for the snags/enchanted I don't have shit yet.
