He doesn't look too happy in this first pic. Will his fur grow longer/thicker?
Maybe he's not used to the cold. You should get him one of those darling little doggie coats...

**powdork** · 11-21-2011, 10:35 PM

he's fine in that pic. just popping up from that hole he was digging in front of him. i think he will get a little furrier.

KW announces they will open Friday. Chair 5 with access to Race Course. Woot woot. And they will people with a season pass to any resort free lift.

Makes total sense!

BTW, Weather has been lagging off the models. We see a lot coming in, then llllllllaaaaaaaaaggggggg out and not much. North of Tahoe seems to be a little snowier.

@powdork, love the pole drop on Round Top. Classic! Snow looked perttttty good. Nice Bros. Another photo in there looked like a pair of Praxis Pows with Freerides?

That dog is awesome! So cute!

If any SLT skiers/riders are interested in practicing some tricks on a trampoline, Tahoe Gymnastics is trying to get an adult class going Mondays from 7:30-8:30 - the first class is December 5th and is free! I don't work for them, but I did use their trampolines to get my 3s dialed last year and I shooting for a backflip this year. It is a great safe way to practice. Hopefully we'll be in the midst of ski season by Dec 5th, but come out and try it for free, even if your legs are toast! Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions!

i'll give it a go. went there sunday before last just for open gym. it did not go well. my new goal is to make kip my bitch.

1/2 Price kirkwood vouchers and other stuff. A deal so go it'll bring tears to your eyes. Browse to UCDavis ski deal

Voucher good all season (non-holiday), deal ends in a few days. Alumni center tells me this is open to all. Go Ags!

**h-atlas** · 11-22-2011, 10:45 AM

Awesome PD. I'll probably go to open gym this Sunday.

Also, I'm interested in hiking and skiing next Monday if you're heading out. Need more weekday partners.

Wow. Streetview of resorts. That's kind of cool. How do I get the job as the camera dude? How cool would it be to ski around every resort in North America with a teletubby camera rig on your back/head?

**skier666** · 11-22-2011, 12:44 PM

Don't look at the weather forecast.

^^^^actually, it looks like lack of depression.

**TahoeJ** · 11-22-2011, 02:32 PM

Time to put the powder skis back in the closet for a while. Shit.

**powdork** · 11-22-2011, 02:38 PM

^was it over when the germans bombed pearl harbor?

**El Chupacabra** · 11-22-2011, 02:45 PM

Was looking forward to a weekend of better snow, but it's looking like the WROD at Squaw, and/or Mt. Rose (if they open). Damn.

Maybe dress warm and get back on the mountain bike...

**Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer** · 11-22-2011, 04:10 PM

I hear you - I had been watching the weather and looking forward/hoping for anything like last year. Oh well. Maybe I will just go climbing in the Valley instead.

Edit: Man, this week/weekend last year was unreal. Was just looking at some pictures. Ugh.

I mean, even hucks were in....

Just got back from a nice, warm low-altitude MTB ride. In a T-shirt.

Might be time to go hit some of the Carson Valley MTB trails. There's still snow in the holiday forecast, but in "meh" quantities.

**HiGrade1** · 11-22-2011, 04:36 PM

thanks for reminding us how amazingly good last season was.....

as to this season..... it's about time for it to get it going don't ya think.

**Ottime** · 11-22-2011, 04:52 PM

maybe if we all concentrate real hard, this thing wont split. maybe.

surf forecast looks real good. too bad i am out of town this week.

**BroadReach** · 11-22-2011, 05:14 PM

Squaw WROD rumor mill says Red Dog and Exhibition. I seem to recall this opening from two years ago with dirt at the top. Perhaps a little better this time around.

**AKbruin** · 11-22-2011, 05:23 PM

Nice photos, UCL.

Stay in the Bay Area and put the hurt to the dirt? Or head back to to Tahoe immediately after Thanksgiving for some mediocre skiing?

Incidentally, I did a Wilderness First Aid Course with ASI this weekend, and would highly recommend the BC folks here try it at some point. Learned lots.
