11/12 Tahoe Weather, Conditions, Stoke, and What's Up Thread... IT'S BAAAAAAAACK!!!

[AKbruin]

Not much happening in the immediate backyard, but the greater backyard is holding some goods if anyone's got the itch (TR of a Pow Day, Bloody Couloir, and yes this should be in the e-side thread once 213 or whomever else steps up makes one)

Hell yes. I really, really need to hit that this year. The access issues, as you mention, are tricky though.

Sierra at Tahoe is probably a more realistic fit for Vail to acquire than Kirkwood...

[lepistoir]

Hear hear for the snowshed on 88/Carson Spur! Sorry, SLT folks, but I just want to mellow out and having to gap it over the road is getting old.

[lepistoir]

Well, if the USFS approval was the issue, looks like that's been resolved, according to new coverage in the SF Business Times:

Damn. Sounds like the place might be a little crowded this year...

both are far too steep to become vail resorts

[skier666]

what about the fabled tram from silver lake to kwood?

I remember that one and think about it every damn time I drive up the Spur side up to Kirkwood. Build a town on the shores of Silver Lake, have the tram land on Main street, ability to ski all the terrain down to the lake behind Thunder Peak, and of course, eliminate the Spur on storm days....yummy.

My brain is full of them...you should see my drawings.

[The Dad]

That's what your parole officer and therapist told me, anyway.

Scan and post plzzzzzz! Drawings rock!

Anyone have any suggestions for where to buy a never-frozen turkey in North Lake? Am I just going to need to bring one uphill from Whole Paycheck or something?

[gone2alpine]

Hey, if there are any Alpine employees that went to the job fair today, could you PM me? I have a question about what you may have been told. Thanks.

Hey Ben,

I know I still owe you a photo.

If you're serious, Safeway in Truckee had some last year.
If I'm missing some TGR lingo here, ...............

[BFD]

That is a huge rock cut. Are they making a passing lane? Where are they hauling all that rock?

[The Dad]

Who needs a bullet. Just have a decent train that left Emeryville in the late afternoon on a Friday, stopped once in Sacramento, and got you to Truckee within 3-4 hours of departure from SF would be awesome. Return trip scheduled to depart on Sunday around 5:30pm. Get the local hotels to pitch in for a local shuttle.

QFT. The California Zephyr is scheduled at precisely the wrong time for skiers. It leaves Emeryville to go east a little after 9am, and leaves Truckee to go west shortly before 10. You lose a day on either side.

No special lingo. I'll swing by there this weekend to see if I can reserve one.

[powdork]

i think all the chain grocery stores carry fresh turkeys.

<spits coffee out of mouth>
That's what I was thinking!

[dookeyXXX]

Turkey is so passe.
A REAL maggot would go out and catch himself a fresh chukar...

That would have been great bullshit Cohee promotion to go with the Palisades and Caples Crest lifts that bnever got built, along with the restaurant on Vista that never got built but sold all those condos with For Sale signs in them now. But in reality, it would fucking RAWK!

Raley's in Incline carries the Diestel turkeys.

They've gotta be making a passing lane...or maybe the Dolores Park construction required more rock

[powdork]

i think they're just widening it to alleviate the falling rock dead -->> motorist issue.

FYI: Sweetgrass' Solitaire is playing in Truckee on the 17th.

This film is sick.

Best snowsports flick I've seen since Deeper.

Caught it last night in SF with Schralph, MapleLeafG, CaliKid, Enginerd and an almost-sold out crowd. It features some of the most bugged out terrain you will see folks skiing/riding in a ski flick and has a really interesting and darkly metaphysical vibe percolating around some of the best cinematography I've ever seen in a ski/board flick.

The Palisades lift...never had high hopes since that area gets so much sun, but then again....

Maybe we should just occupy the Cirque until we have a Marte-like chair up Carnell's?
