    Yeah, but some are more rock than others. Been on my, so that is a twenty yard patch if rock in front of me, so I best get some speed to cross it, ski, the past few days. They are great for accessing the outer goods. My new sticks, otoh, have yet to be mounted for a reason.

    Did a Heavenly day today...well, 8:30am to 11:30am that is. Parked at stagecoach and headed straight to Olympic and found great snow. After that a few runs on Comet and Tamarack and called it quits. Talk about night and day between 1st and last run...by 11:30am, crazy amount of people and deterioration of conditions, there's no way I'd stay longer especially with my 5 year old.

    If it's any consolation to the lack of snow, the surf conditions have been all time in Northern California. Here's some shots from the last couple weeks.

    I have a nice long rip in my favorite pair of ski pants and was looking to get it fixed. Does anyone know of somewhere close to San Francisco that does alterations/repairs on Technical clothing? Im assuming they have to tape after they stitch up the rip?

    Who makes them? IME, manufacturers are usually pretty good about fixing stuff that's your fault for a reasonable fee, and there's a bunch of them locally.

    Outside of that, I've been thinking about having this guy do a tent of mine: http://www.campingrepair.com/ He's got a bunch of good Yelp reviews: http://www.yelp.com/biz/naraayens-db...abric-berkeley

If someone could make a jacket of those three things it would no doubt be the most popular and prized item in all of your closets.

    So true. They are equipment, not an investment.

    I do not recall a day at Kirkwood that hasn't involved at least one rock or log, sometime, somewhere.




    Let it Snow! Please, Mom?

    You should cross post in the Surf forum. I only looked at the 1st link, but Holy Shit!!!!! I could never paddle out through that. Glad I live down south where it is rarely that size
    Never in U.S. history has the public chosen leadership this malevolent. The moral clarity of their decision is crystalline, particularly knowing how Trump will regard his slim margin as a “mandate” to do his worst. We’ve learned something about America that we didn’t know, or perhaps didn’t believe, and it’ll forever color our individual judgments of who and what we are.

    Anyone have Beta on CPSR? Can you skin from the sno-park? Hoping to take a walk and stretch the legs this weekend.

    Surf has been going off, but it was a bad a start to the season as the is. I certainly did get epic powder day sort of waves between the holidays.

    My buddy said he saw a group exit CPSSR on skis, so I'm assuming you can mostly skin out there. I have not ventured toward the pass this visit. From a distance, the peaks look nicely covered over there. Lots of brown out there though.

    Now I'm skiing 6. No one here. Ghost town. Best condition I've seen it in the past four days. Piles of surfy skiff with rarely touchin anything firm below all the way to the flats. Even the roll over is pretty money. Especially with no one skiing. Bumps on 11 are full on rippable with the first lower nose run wintery chalk. And the second goes mostly through the chute.

    I did not venture into Cham at days end but under oops was mostly fun. The top of Cham looked like June with the snow sliding down the mountain. Corn like?

    OTOH, new dining prices in the Vailley are oppressive. Not Bubs now wants $7.75 for a pint if beer. Maybe that is why it has been empty this week, while the sister resorts are pack to te teeth. Or maybe it is the blackout. Can't be the snow. That shit is pretty good right now. Bumps are the most fun since I was a kid in upstate NY.

    But yeah, I'd rather be surfing.

    If you're willing to have them repaired in Truckee, try these guys. Doesn't REI fix gear--don't know about how good or the turnover time.

    Question .....Where do you guys suppose they are taking all the overnight snowmakings yield from the guns at the bottom of 5 +6 that they are currently pushing out into the parking lot at KW?

    Timber creek. There is no snow making over there. But most of the patrons are. I would not exactly call it crowded over there, but I heard 9 had lines by lunch. Few people any where else.

    My son watched those cats push snow for well over an hour last night.

    so I'm going to be in san francisco next weekend on business.

    I have a down day, and was planning on going skiing. But, given current conditions, I don't know if it is even worth the hassle of bringing gear??

    Looking at snow reports it looks like only 57 inches season total at kirkwood? I would be coming from colorado where most resorts this year have had close to 150 inches of snow.

    I have an epic pass so money for lift tickets is not an issue. Which of the epic pass mountains are skiing the best currently?

    If you want limited terrain but real snow KW. If you want miles of low angle man made N*. If you want fewer miles, but slightly steeper man made Heave.

    You can read my post. Been at KW for four days. Skiing the morning with my son, then putting in a good half day enjoying one steep groomer and mid angle bumps. I have no problem putting in 20k plus of skiing.

    And we will likely get a little more snow this week.

    Don't waste your time driving from the bay to ski for a day. Your coming from Colorado which has snow to CA which doesn't. Why not do something you can't in Colorado, like surf or enjoy the 70 degree weather in sf right now and its music art and food scenes that dont exist anywhere in CO.

    I agree...don't bother unless you are bringing slalom skis and want an hour or so of 'good' piste skiing...that is if you are there at opening.
