Tahoe Precip?

**freshies** · 02-10-2007, 08:33 PM

rolled up to alpine today about 11am, all snow, but wet snow. real wet. put the goretex to the test today, as i was soaked by 10 - but found some good cream cheese to schmear, Sun should be 'mo better.

**fluffballs** · 02-10-2007, 08:38 PM

Patrolled on the BRO's the last two days, recent wax and size. Though I wish I had the spats today. I pulled ice rink duty for tomorrow, which I thought was a death sentence, but I don't work until 11:30

. So the spats will definitely come out tomorrow morning.

A HEAVY BAND OF PRECIPITATION WILL MOVE ACROSS THE TAHOE BASIN THIS EVENING. SNOW LEVELS WILL DROP AS LOW AS LAKE LEVEL AT TIMES IN THE HEAVIER BURSTS OF PRECIPITATION.

HOWEVER...ACCUMULATION WILL BE CONFINED MAINLY TO AREAS ABOVE 7000 FEET. ACCUMULATIONS OF 6 TO 12 INCHES OF SNOW ARE EXPECTED ABOVE 7000 FEET WITH 2 TO 4 INCHES OF WET SNOW BETWEEN 6500 AND 7000 FEET.

Squaw's Granite Chief hasn't turned in two days so when it does open, whomever is there is going to have good times

This wet snow pineapple excess is like deja fuckin vu from last season.

Catchin the blue bird pow is either by accident or persistence. Please God let the temperture drop

.

It's fun being a maggot, eh? A new mag at that.

Sounds like you are probably going KW.....but I will be at Squaw when they open if you are looking for riding partners (same clothes as last year...grey/red).

Dumping super hard right now at 7500' on rose!

**kidwoo** · 02-10-2007, 09:44 PM

totally dumpering at 6245.9887 in KB!!!

**gimpy** · 02-10-2007, 10:29 PM

i'm pretty easy to please but the top 1,000' of p-house was mighty fun today. worth doing 3 laps from 8,300' to 9,300' and tracks were filling in fast each lap. the bottom 500' was knee wrenching glue and skins were glopping bigtime but still a much needed day

. tomorrow and monday in the high country will be even better though tomorrow it'll be hard to make turns unless you're on a steep slope. monday, after some settling and colder temps at the end of the storm, will be worth a hooky day for sure. bout time

Snow Line at exactly 8,000':

Well, I sent you a text.

Here it is:

MANK

Oh yeah, and after a solid 5 runs, I hit it and quit it back home.

After flying in from Big Sky last night, this was so....well, anticlimactic.

Find me.

I'll be on stainless steel water skis wearing bright yellow caltrans rain gear.

**El Chupacabra** · 02-11-2007, 08:42 AM

It poured rain all night in Reno, hard. NOAA reports 3-5" of water having falled in some places around Tahoe last night.

Rose is reporting 12-16" fresh since yesterday, as of 3:30 AM. I'll be there for sure today; I think GapersGoHome will as well. I'm bringing Spatulas... for the first time this season, I'll get to actually use them.

**smmokan** · 02-11-2007, 08:48 AM

OK, now its time for some fucking snow in Colorado. THis is getting ridiculous.

**CRACKER** · 02-11-2007, 09:12 AM

Sucks to have a bum knee

looks like today should be sweeeeeeeeet!

**freshies** · 02-11-2007, 09:19 AM

about a foot of HEAVY snow in the driveway this morning, coffee brewing, dog walked, gear loaded, am off to Alpine in 5 - CAN NOT FACKIN WAIT

EDIT: PAGE TOP BIATCHES!

Classic pic.

**Buster Highmen** · 02-11-2007, 09:39 AM

Sumbuddy turned up the base, huh? Good on you clowns.

**MTT** · 02-11-2007, 09:55 AM

This is the first day this year when work will cause me to miss something big.

Mt. Rose has 14 to 20" overnight and the sun is comming out. Last season I would be in the East bowl lot lined up on first chair@!

This year sitting in a hotel in Richmond assisting with component falure testing.

Tahoe mags enjoy

**jump** · 02-11-2007, 10:30 AM

It's on today, waiting in line for first chair!

**gimpy** · 02-11-2007, 10:36 AM

holeeee deepness this am. as predicted some serious pitch is required to turn today and trailbreaking is a bitch. 1' of fresh at the bottom and close to 3' above 8,500' at p-house this am. major tailgunning required to plane on top of the snow and unless you're riding at least 95mm at the waist don't even bother as you won't be able to move. storm is letting up and the sun is poking through in spots so today is gonna be a great day to get out. folks that like to jump off shit will be lovin it today and the top 1/3 of kwood should be all-time. so for the resorts, today is the day and for the bc, tomorrow is looking like the shit. lots of energy in the new snow w/ some cracking and slabbage but after 24 hrs or so of settling it should be game on manana. looks like my next project isn't gonna start till tuesday

git sum all you powder starved jonesers.

can any of you kwood folks that had any visibility over carson pass tell me if you noticed any natural slide activity up there??? (elephants back east bowl, roundtop or red lake peak) thanx

**Razorslug** · 02-11-2007, 11:51 AM

Can anyone verify that Kirkwood got 65 inches? That sounds nutz. The day before the storm I bought a ticket to CO for this week. Now I'm thinking I maybe an idiot if I don't cancel my flight.
