I've had a pass at KW for 10 years and man I'm still learning how to milk the place properly. You learn from your mistakes! The singles line junkshow is one I've noticed before though. They often do a pretty crappy job of managing it. About 2:30 I jumped in the main line on chair 4 and visually marked the last person in the singles line. I was loading the chair about 5 min later and he hadn't even moved.

some great pics in the last few pages BTW. Tahoe firing!

I like to take a few laps in Eagle rather than chase the crowd back to 4, especially when there still something left on 10 chairline (not the case on Saturday). Depends on your motivation. Since the Epic Pass it's gotten a lot harder to keep a personal stash in your pocket to save for later.

I didn't get many photos on Saturday since I spent several hours snowmodigging, but it was a beautiful day out.

Finally got to tour in Tahoe. We wanted to go here.

But without knowing the route and being a bit short on time, we decided to go here instead.

It was an awesome day, nice to tour with my brother again after a several year hiatus.

**lepistoir** · 01-17-2017, 12:50 AM

What's wrong with this pic?
We may be in a post-truth world, but authenticity still counts.

**LightRanger** · 01-17-2017, 01:00 AM

^^^ It's not California, much less the Tahoe area.

Also, expensive-ass flights for expensive-ass weekend warriors doesn't mix with Kelly Cordes.

**SchralphMacchio** · 01-17-2017, 08:27 AM

So much stoke right now!!!

Cognitive dissonance test.

P.S. snow is still good, things are still super filled in.

**old goat** · 01-17-2017, 04:28 PM

If you're wondering who SV's target clientele is-
https://wheelsup.com/campaigns/squaw-valley/
direct private flights from San Jose.
Thing is--if you have that kind of coin, why would you be going to Squaw Valley? Maybe after KSL turns it into a members only resort and gets rid of the crowds.

**neufox47** · 01-17-2017, 04:34 PM

Everyone wants those clients, don't they? One of those guys will come spend in a weekend what 100 "normal" guests spend.

We skied it today. Found ice near the choke(s). Upper portion and lower half were great though.
