Don't give away all our tricks now, W :cool:

Park and Ride ;) (Although that really only works well to Squaw, getting to Alpine on it was a bit long for my tastes.) Upper lot at Alpine full by...

I actually heard this mentioned as a possible problem when the Mountaineer thing was being considered at public meetings. Don't think its really happened yet, but probably because people haven't...

It's funny how that happens. I've gotten into that cycle a couple times this season with packages already. It seems like if the original delivery date just happens to work out to a mellower day it...

plus beer :chug:

I'll be there for the third year in a row. Stoked that it doesn't include a drive to south lake this time. If anyone hasn't been or is on the fence, you should go. It's a great start to getting the...

Sick that it's in North Lake this year.

Used to be you could get a free pass from SV/AM. Back when I was still in you just had to go to the ticket counter with your ID and you were set. So I guess it is now infinitely more expensive!

True, and I've seen first hand what happens to a traffic cone when its 10 degrees outside and an SUV hits it at 60mph... it just explodes into a million pieces.

The SV/AM MMTD is focused on transportation in the valleys themselves. Its goal is to connect to the TART system for access to the outside world. Having lived in Squaw for 3 years I always felt it...

Agreed. I think things are actually working quite well between the groups as is, and I've never had an issue. I commented as much on the EIR. This is mostly because its actually quite easy to find...

I'm just curious, but since most of the issue other user groups have is noise, is there any way to add noise reduction to sled design? Mufflers, etc. (not to mention the electric one posted earlier)...

Yeah... 15 cars this AM at Tamarack (we had an under/over going).

Especially after reading this: "Three people ( I believe) were caught in it, two of which were slammed into trees/rocks but were...

This is exactly how I felt when I heard the story. Getting so cynical... I definitely need a shoulder season.

Due to an incident in the area, I ended up down at heavenly for the first time today. No idea how they run lifts but it worked pretty well. Given that Canyon had to actually be plowed for 100-200' so...

TahoeJ - That's awesome. I say rarely, but not never (especially with the higher profile issues/projects), and I do realize there are a lot of reasons why some folks who are invested can't,...

I'm a lurker, but this brought me out of the woodwork a bit. Have to address this just because its pertinent to a lot of discussions I've been having lately.

Main point: spending money...

Headed up to Rose thinking I'd get to enjoy the elevation for some prework laps, and it was a shit show up there. Crossing the CA/NV border near CBC it basically wasn't plowed from the time we...

Sent a DM. I am pretty sure that is the one my friend lost. (more details in the DM).

Thanks for posting. Hope it's the same one. My friend would be stoked to get it back!!

Still some quality snow in North Lake if you looked in the right spots yesterday before the warm up. Hoping this next one comes in cold enough that the approaches stick around.

On a separate...

Some nice turns to be found up in the tamarack area....

Could have. Had my head down most of the time bracing against the wind. I was riding my snowboard yesterday since I still have to get my skis mounted (I'm a certified procrastinator).

Winds have died and it is stacking up at the house in squaw right now. Squaw was wind hold until 12:00 but first couple laps were nice 3-4" at that point. Just need some more terrain.

Wish I...

Looking to get out tomorrow in the Mt Rose area just to check things out and get some of the rust out before things kick off. If anyone is interested shoot me a pm.

Also Thinking of doing squaw...

Not much left after this last warm spell. Probably 4-6" in the shady aspects. Didn't get up high toward twin peaks, but looked like it held up a little better.

Off and on light flakes with the wind and 42 at 6400' in SV.

Poked around Ward for a little Pre-storm survey this am. Thin snowpack and cold temps early in the week definitely causing some basal...

Got out just to check the conditions and ended up making a few (very cautious) turns today!!!!

Headed up to Jones Pass and wasn't too optimistic upon arrival at the trailhead.
...

Pack....

Jealous!! Still a few weeks yet (if were lucky) before the local spots are looking even close to that good.

iski123,

I just had a similar experience with my board. I put together a little blog post on base patching that you can feel free to check out: HERE(WFS)

There are probably a million other...

Really cool. I like the motivation to just get after it when the mood strikes. Looks like the season may be getting itself going here if the storm track follows through as expected. At least for a...

Went up to A-Basin today. Crowds weren't as bad as I thought they might be with one lift/WROD and the snow was better than I though it would be, but started to get chewed up and bumped a bit by the...

Damn it... I just clicked the link to the site which increases their traffic which increases their presence on search engines which makes more traffic...

Maybe just a screen shot next time, so...

Nice! Love the line at 1:15 and the faceshot compilation was sweet (I know, that's what she said!)

Definitely upped the 2011-12 amp meter a notch closer to ride time.

Really Inspiring! I especially love this shot:

Excited to get to the point where I get up there and hit this kind of terrain.

Making the all important intro post.

Lurked last year while stuck stationed in PA after an all exciting tour in Gulfport Mississippi (Probably the flattest [and fattest] state ever). Just moved...
