Hello Ca Maggots. A little help pls.

Maybe looking at a seasonal position at Heavenly.

Where do people live when they are working that part Tahoe (sorry for my ignorance) Only been there 2x.

Any hints would be appreciated and if you help me out I will have a place sitting empty near Bozeman if you were to want to make a road trip.

Check yer PMs

& Meth, the good stuff too. Anywhere in S. Lake is good, plenty of access to the heave via the bus.

I have a hard time believing there's more meth in g-ville than south lake

I'll be skiing Rose a bunch this week if anyone is bored. I don't have a pass anywhere and I don't want to blow coin on skiing if the snow is shite.

Anyone else going to be killing rose this week?

Maybe. It's crappy snow and only two runs to funnel the entire holiday crowd down the mountain. Tour busses and minivans filled with novice skiers....god help us . I might hit Squalpine Monday, Tues, or Wed morning. Blackout starts Dec 26th.

Another solid day filled with steep n facing below treeline pow turns. Not buying a pass this year has been the best decision I hAve made so far. Being cheap over lazy is paying off so far this season.

Grab your SL skis, get there early and leave after at a late lunch. At Kirkwood, bring the SL skis, then transition to a pair rock skis and go explore off chair 6...definitely feels like skiing....even though it's on a few inches of snow.

That stuff off of six is character building stuff, somehow kinda fun picking your way down though.

It's packed powder!

with a smattering of gravel scattered about by the wind, to make sure that you appreciate it!

[markcjr]

Still better than what the reports used to say in New Hampshire and Maine:
Granular
Frozen Granular
Refrozen Frozen Granular

[lepistoir]

Anybody notice where we all should be today?

https://vimeo.com/82477069 This is what it looked above Truckee on Tuesday morning. Some good turns and some great fish!

[Slaag Master]

yay!!!!!!!!!!!!

[unpossible]

Unexpectedly fun day of off-piste skiing at Alpine today, with some fresh turns still to be had, if you knew where to look. They opened Hot Wheels and Weasel, which it in itself is not exciting, however, that allowed them to open up some more interesting terrain that leads in that direction.

Skis took a beating today though.

Heard Shirley and the Sibo (hike) at Squaw were fun yesterday as well. Everyone seems to be making the most of what has fallen so far, even if it is not much.

[powfiend]

Stoked to see this thread starting to pick back up with pictures and beta from explorations and boring resort talk kept to a minimum. Keep it coming, if we keep getting out and having fun in the backcounty the snow will seemingly come sooner!

[Slaag Master]

unpossible - great way to explain the unrolling of the whole ball of wax!!!!!

[lepistoir]

unpossible,
I took part in the same sorts of fun today. It seemed the farther you traversed, the more goods you got. Also, +more base dings. The p-tex is bridging the gap between minimum skiable snowpack and what we have now.

Actually, kinda fun getting jumpy and goaty at low speeds to avoid rocks and find the smooth line.

I'm trying out Sugar Bowl's uphill policy for 1st time tomorrow and then leaving until the 4th. Please let this bring some dumpage. I'm also planning a roadtrip to places with snow in mid-January if anyone's interested.

Please let us know how it goes at SB.

Looking to get a pair of beat xxls in 187 for destructive sorta tests...

Anyone have anything like this for cheap?

[TurxSki]

Yup, some "boring resort talk"...
NoStar was pretty good on Saturday.
Peeps were a bit more spread out.
Burnout & Drifter were still a blast. Over on Lookout not so much somehow, but worth a couple of shots, y'know?

In the afternoon they opened East Ridge, and a bunch of "Caution Thin Cover" runs leading under Comstock lift down to Rendevous lift (running).
Cin & I hit Powder Bowl off East Ridge. I liked it, but Cin felt she was hitting too much "stuff".
I thought it felt more like wood than rock, so was ok widdit.
At least they had a choice of runs (even Loggers Loop was open) spread around to mix it up a bit. But all mostly mellow of course.

Oh yeah. I got "busted" for speeding & skiing a snowmobile trail
Got to meet the Mountain Safety Manager, and a cute 'troller boarder gal.

Also heading to Sugarbowl, but on Xmas Day (2 buses).

[~mikey b]

Funny. I'd have loved to have been there when you met those two. Owen says hi. Whole family down with flu, but maybe we can hook up next week.

Cheers!
