Tahoe Weather, Conditions, Stoke, and What's Up Thread...

Thanks MrSmith!

Just looked at SV website. You get 4 any day, non-holiday ($75) and 4 weekday, non-holiday ($50).

[MrSmith]

Er, they put a cap on "friends and family" discounts this year (8). Or did they just lift the cap last year with the lack of snow? I'd kind of like to hold onto mine, Mike, but I can let one go if you're in a bind.

[~mikey b]

understood - her friend has a pass I think...

[MrSmith]

They're getting really stingy this year. It's 4 weekday passes at $50 and 4 weekend non-holiday passes at $75. But, yikes, $99 for regular adult day ticket. I hadn't looked at that yet.

Anyways, Mike, I know you're great about the hook ups, so I'd happily slide one of those $75 tickets Krystal's way if nothing better comes up. Spread the love and all.

[~mikey b]

excellent - highly appreciated

spread love and rub it in

I'll let you know.

[~mikey b]

Krystal's friend does indeed have a $75 ticket for her.

Thanks for the consideration, MrSmith!

I might be able to go for a tour next Mon or Fri on either end of a course I'm attending.

Pulled a double gaper at AM this morning. Accidentally left my boots in the car overnight and it was 3 degrees out so I literally couldn't get them on my feet and had to warm them up in the lodge. That was a first.

Then skiing and start slashing some of the sloppiest pow turns you'll ever see. Back seat all the way. What the hell is wrong with my boots? Stop, check, *facepalm* - left them in walk mode. My left ankle is going to hate me for that move tomorrow.

Anyway... Good conditions overall - the wind last night helped smooth things over.

Krystal Kartwright (my wife for those who don't know) is headed to Squaw on Saturday. Anyone able to help us out with a free or discounted ticket? There's beer or wine in it for you...

she can hang with the big boys - her friend is pretty much a beginner

don't you have a Further ticket?

[BGnight]

Estelle and Beaver were YUMMMY!! I almost didn't crawl my hungover ass outta bed. Glad I did!

[~mikey b]

Were those good for a KW lift? Maybe mine is crumbled up in a pocket some where.

Squallypine and Batchelor

I'll trade you some 3T kid clothing for it. We'll probably need a couple for Far West Championship races in March.

are there still some sharks lurking about? i was at Alpine last Sat but didn't stray from groomers so didn't get to check out the usual places in person.

Anyone driving to South Lake Friday night or Saturday morning? Looking for a ride.
I live in Healdsburg but my gear is in Sacramento. Can meet up in downtown Sacramento or in west sac before the 50/80 split. Happy to split gas.
Call text or PM 9167185665

I'll be skiing the heav this weekend with a bunch of gapers I'd be happy to ditch- so if anyone wants to make some turns give me a shout.

KW was tits today. Snow was shockingly light, crowds were minimal, and coverage was great if you knew what you were doing. Checked "first air" and "first biffed landing" of the year of my list. Good times.

[gimpy]

hallelujah kinda day today. work prolly isnt happening again tomorow

[powdork]

[Esses]

Hey, I've got three last minute tix to Dream Factory in Santa Cruz tonight if anyone's interested.

Up top is pretty good, it's really just lower down as you work your way back to Summit that you have to watch out for. But not bad if you're paying attention. I would try to cut over to Nick's run as soon as possible when exiting Beaver, for example.

[tahoearmada]

lotsa sharks lurking at alpine... had some great runs and some not so great
Also got cliffed out on the nose after it all slid down to the ice layer

Agreed. Kwood was great today.

Hey TeleMike!
You need to add /tgr to the liftticks addy to make it work:
http://www.lifttickets.com/tgr/
...and it says mon - fri, but they are good for "shoulder" weekends (until 12/22 I think)

Otherwise email tgr and Ryan(?) will sort you out.

Ottime, dude keep up. That KW tix was last year, pre-Vail. And they stopped honoring it after the take over anyaway.

Was that you who had to get roped up off the spine in the middle of beaver bowl? Luckily some of my friends saw it happen and called dispatch. Looked sketchy, glad it ended well. Nice to get estelle in really good snow conditions so early. And yes some lurkers are outthere especially in the exit pitches of beaver and estelle. Already dinged my heel edge of my brand new jones, DOH!
