Headed to Mammoth to ski on Friday with my son...

I was hoping to put him in an hour long pop-up lesson but apparently that shut down last week...

Anyone have any leads to people that want to earn some cash to ski with my kid for an hour so dad can ski some steeps? Shoot me a PM. Otherwise, I'm 100% Piste City.

Was that you headed up with ski's about 10:30? We had two dogs on the Disney side coming down about the same time.

Maybe was my second run. Ya I got skiis to spice up the spring season!
Still great cover up high this Monday. 15 minutes of dirt to get to the snow.

If you come up empty, 6er, check with the guys (Rob) at the Ski Renter.
They know everything.

Camping at Lower Lee Vining and touring around the Saddle bag lakes area this weekend. anyone else headed there? Likely climbing at Owen's River Gorge and maybe skiing at Mammoth on Sunday or Monday.

look for a white sportsmobile.

I had fun on Friday with my son....no gnar, just old fashion bluebird groomers and a beer to end the day

Hey I'm looking for a short dirt hike to the snow line near Tahoe. Sugar Bowl looks like 40 minutes as of yesterday. How is Carson pass?

[Ottime]

Likely way more than 40 minutes. Try Kirkwood

Carson Pass yesterday 6/1 was patchy snow near E Back and continuous snow past Winnemucca Lake. Plenty of good lines still at Round Top and The Sisters, but very sun cupped.

Thanks! ^^

Waiting for the last gate to Blue Lakes to pop. Vets says the nipple is holding good snow.
We skied Ebbets today and Folgers and Hiram are fucking phat with the goods.
Is it a mudfest accessing the snow at cp?

[skier666]

Any word on Woods Lake opening soon?

[dookeyXXX]

not sure about corn, given that it hasn't frozen in quite some time and you can't really have corn w/o a serious freeze/thaw cycle, but, that said, I skied some decent enough soft-serve up on the west side of Castle Peak last Wed.

[Vets]

Any word on Woods Lake opening soon?

According to the Alpine County Website it opens today (6/6.)

[skier666]

Vets - I'll keep you posted if I decide to get some clearance to get up there...

[Wobby]

In case anyone is interested, here is my take on some of the 2014 season:

[TahoeJ]

^^ Timelapse storm project. Everyone loves a time lapse right? Haha. Well played. How many times have you done that?

[Wobby]

Just once! Because this fort I found had no bench...

[dookeyXXX]

drug vets and my lady, KP, up the westside of Castle Peak on Thursday, 6/5. Supreme soft-serve with minimal suncups.

KP getting some low-angle goodness:


hit up The Nipple on Friday 6/6, again with Vets and KP, but got a late start and ultimately kinda skunked by a freak thunderstorm (the lady was the voice of reason and managed to drag me'n Vets off the ridge before we got electrocuted). soft-serve up top, mashable suncups down low.

Vets being chased by the storm:

I'm headed up for a day Roundtop & Sisters via Woods Lake on Thursday if anyone is interested. Plan is to attack Moon Crescent, and all the three Sisters.

There is a fine patch above the Mt Judah Trail in the usual place, as you approach the saddle between Judah and Donner. Several hundred yards wide. It does offer only 5-30 feet of vertical, but should make for some great fun for those who are into traversing.
