MAKE TAHOE DEEP AGAIN ~ 2016/17 OFISHUL SNOW/FOOD/WHINE & STOKE THREAD

[TahoeJ]

^^ Because Scott recognized himself. It was funny, Robb grabbed it just to show him and some Squaw employees got all protective over it. "PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH THAT!"

[TahoeJ]

Mammoth is worth the drive right now (from Tahoe, not the bay) in case anyone was wondering. A little sketchy up top but pretty nice overall. Good for breaking in the legs at least.

[ScrewYou]

Mammoth was great this past weekend. Its icey, so bring your race skis, but the coverage is pretty good. I was lapping the top of the gondola all day friday and sunday, and its definitely fast up there.

whatever you do, don't go looking at BA's latest

Too late... holy moly!! Can't wait to be disappointed when inevitably none of that happens, but it doesn't matter it's full speed ahead on the hype train for me!

[old goat]

It's not looking good. KSL basically said they'd give TRPA some dough and the AG's office said they wouldn't sue. Fuckers. Pretty disappointing but not surprising.

Check out this sweet propaganda. Apparently because Scott had fun at the new Truckee pool it means they should have water parks everywhere.

This gave me an idea--if and when they build the water park, one of us needs to shit in the pool every day so they have to shut it down.

I volunteer as tribute.

Anyone get out to Mt. Rose or Boreal today?

So this happened twice in one weekend at the new neighborhood pool this summer. Were you the culprit?

No, but that is hilarious.

[TEXASS]

It's ok. It's just a baby Ruth

[Ottime]

^^^LOL.

Are people really getting excited because BA said there might be some bigger storms arriving 10 days out. In a shoulder season. Mmkay. Hope that pans out.

Either way works for me. Surf has been super fun this month. Storms fuck that up some. But then snow is fun. Fingers crossed we get no storms or some storms or a shit ton of storms.

[TahoeJ]

Well in the short term tomorrow and tomorrow night were upgraded significantly, but snow levels are a toss-up. I think that was the reference. For the 10-15 day outlook there's a lot of agreement between models. It had to snow eventually.

[powdork]

I was pretty much referring to the crazy 112" 16-day forecast.
He had upgraded tomorrow's storm and the latest from the nws goes beyond that as they are calling for lower snow levels and less splitting. That means we can beat the previous, weaker 16 day forecast!!

To be fair that was a model run that he consistently says overstates totals. And he even said that was an obviously high and exaggerated number right after the screenshot.

He's just trying to generate hype and let people see what's possible..

Of course, this is why I left town till the end of the month a couple days ago. We'll see if it worked in the end

[Driver]

Dumping hard in Marin Co. And cold.

[Ottime]

I planned Tday in Santa Cruz with family visiting in hopes it would kick start the season. Hoping that works.

[TahoeJ]

It's still nearly 50 in Truckee - that cold air had better blow in quickly. Hoping it turns from rain to snow by mid afternoon otherwise we might be looking at a few inches this weekend instead of a foot-plus.

[dhklauer]

5800ft in glenshire is all snow.

[TahoeJ]

Started snowing in Truckee around 1... no rain at all. Starting to accumulate already. Good sign.

Freezing elevations over Tahoe are pretty high now (snow levels a bit lower, looks like ~7500 feet), but should drop a bit this evening. Kirkweeziana and Sonora look to do better with precipitation from the colder part of this first wave:

Between now and overnight, the moisture plume dips down south, thus favoring regions south of Tahoe more so than the North Shore region. Difference between position of Pdub this am and tonight (think of it as brown was 11am, green is 2am forecast):

Same in TC. Look for snow levels to come up this evening tho.

[TahoeJ]

3.5 - 4 inches so far at 6400 feet. Snow stopped but better than rain. Thought this might be more interesting than the typical back deck shot.
