That's pretty much what I figured, but I don't know the terrain.

Nope, not from Colfax.

Randomly stumbled upon the Ski-EO of Heavenly out trick or treating last night.

Aah, a young GSA.

The Force is unusually strong in this one.

[Ottime]

Well he is trick or treating at the right truck. Were they giving out full cases, or just individual bottles?

Top of blackwood canyon was total mashed potatoes today. Monday looks cold.

They have closed / no access signs up all over the place already... if that makes a difference to you. Of course, if the touring is any good at Alpine, it should be good closer to the west shore just the same. I doubt it's worth it at this point, though.

thank you again!

I was just hoping to get a little bit of fitness and also get the cobwebs out of all the touring gear. I'm sure there's the mountain biking

Anyone know if there will be enough snow for the Sugarbowl - Squaw traverse this weekend? Haven't done it, but I'm guessing you don't need much depth as it's mostly touring.

I tried this a couple years ago around this time of year, after there had been one small storm. We opted to hike because there was minimal snow and much of the route is a wind blasted ridge. It ended up being too much snow for hiking but not really enough for skis as it was too thin and disconnected. it was really pretty horrible and we bailed not even 5 miles in off into coldstream canyon.
I'd love to make some turns, but have learned to savor the late months of climbing/biking/hiking season. Early season skiing is usually marginal at best and can be season ending or worse at its worst.

You should read Unofficial Alpine more frequently, or just subscribe to the feed.

be careful on the early season hikes y'all. Remember what happened last year at Alpine...

Given it was somewhere in the 70s or 80s on the coast yesterday, i'm guessing my previous hopes of any base retention will be a wash.

the warm temps should help consolidate the snow on the ground. what happened two years ago was cold temps turned it all to facets that were easy for a north wind to pick up and blast away.
moderate temps are good for base.

g2a,
I could strap on the feedbag. a post now and then on unofficial networks would help me remember you're at work.

[Old_Skool_Style]

Pray for Moar snow!

[powfiend]

Still enough snow for a quick couple of laps up Mt disney on halloween. Got deep enough up top to actually make a few turns but the lower half was thin, was lucky not to hit anything. Alpine looked thiner when we went to check it out but as long as your willing to destroy your bases on the lower half of the mtn there is enough snow up top to make turns

[Alkasquawlik]

Definitely melting rapidly now. Well not necessarily melting, more condensing than anything. Hope on the horizon though..maybe...possibly..who knows...http://opensnow.com/dailysnow/tahoe

If that November 7 - 10 system delivers, could make for a pretty nice opening weekend at Mammoth.

[Ottime]

The models have been very consistent on bringing a wet period, but the details keep changing. The past two days' run have it mostly dry 7-10, but damn wet 11-13,16-18. Regardless, fingers crossed.

[Ottime]

Those are showing as links to FB on the mobile. Are there pictures embedded or does one need to sign in to get stoke.

[LightRanger]

So... long-range GFS runs are starting to show a potential AR event around the 16-18-ish. That'd be sweet, at least if the snow levels are low enough.
