Now that Tahoe will be getting some deep snow, I am going to drive to Washington next week. Mostly to see the grandkids in Cheney for a few days.
But I Will be taking a day at Silver. The one local mountain that I missed on my last road trip.
Either Thursday or Friday, 3/8 or 3/9.
Change sticker on my JJ’s tip and on the Sunrader’s ski box. Would love to run across a guide.

I would like to congratulate your epic ice beard in this picture. And I'm sure one of us will be up there that weekend to help a fellow mag out

I may be able to guide you around. I'll know more when I get back from BBI Bozeman.

Let us know when you get closer, I'm up at Silver regularly

49*N was my own private ski area yesterday with super carvey cord and wind fill bumps, skied onto the lift all day.
Friday will be a shit show of epic proportions; 2-3 feet of untracked snow on toyota free daythe #1lot will be full by 8am the 1st chair line will be all the way to ch2 and the lift will be sloww to open as they struggle to dig out while under staffed. good luck finding a seat in or out of the lodge and no yurt to relieve some of the pressure
it'll be tracked out by 10

[tmokes]

49n does seems like it can spread people around... I have yet to ride that one chair that goes to a peak on lookers right but traversed and hiked up to near the top before getting tired and the snow really wasn’t that good to make the hike worthwhile.

I think we are going to lookout but keeping the option open depending on the snow report and temperature for 49n. They are closed today and tomorrow aren’t they? Yeah Friday is gonna be good.

Yup. Tram line is crazy. Stand in line for hrs. Lift lines are the same.

[tmokes]

I never lined up for silver. Knowing it takes forever for Gondi to take you up to the top, what time do they let you load it? 8?

They start loading it at 8:15. If you get in line a little bit before 8 then you'll be fairly close to the front of the line. It's usually worth it it seems like.

Do they drop rope in AM? If so, as long as you’re at the top by 9, you get the first track? Either way I’ll be headed to lookout in relaxing schedule.

No more rope drop at Silver, powder days & weekends best to be in line by 7:45 loading starts at 8:15 rest of the time meander in at 8:30 your are up before opening 90% of time chairs load at 9 sometimes we get lucky with an early start.

Better to spend your time and money driving to Lookout more wear & tear on your vehicle to ski boring terrain. Thanks for keeping Silver uncrowded

[John_B]

Loup loup is reporting 22+ inches. Hot damn!

[tmokes]

The thing is, it’s free for me at lookout and there is an event I’m attending today and tomorrow. Otherwise, I agree with your opinion about the lookout. It’s flat and boring.

I just read an article about loup loup on powder

Thanks for the link. The usual hyperbole but a fairly accurate description of the past 4 years here.

Lookout has the worst lifties in the world. Power tripping a-holes. They are still enforcing the leash on snowboard... do they even know what it is and how it works or don’t work at all??? Meanwhile I saw skiers walking down the hill carrying skis and poles. Isn’t that considered foot traffic?

Lookout is definitely a weird place honestly. I get that it is geared to be more family friendly but some of the people that ride and work their are definitely something else.

And why do you have a leash on a snowboard? I think a leash on skis make more sense. Although it could hurt really bad if you had leashes on a pair of skis that popped of while crashing at high speeds.
