hot damn... very very nice. when i stood on top of san gorgonio in september i pondered what skiing that north bowl would be like... and i imagined it to be something much like that. i wish i had...

In the San Gs or farther east? Based off reports it appears that the the storm packed a bigger punch in the San Bernardinos...

don't know if east castle has the vertical or acreage to warrant a lift.

this. much of alta gets skied out way too fast anyway, and the only things preventing this problem from worsening are the traverses and hikes that scare some people away, and the fact that wildcat...

my money's on aortic dissection. very very sad.

calisnow... a good student can get to nearly any destination from any starting point. pomona and occy are unique because they happen to be in one of the largest cities on earth with ample...

Most of the jobs for science majors require a hefty background and fluency in RESEARCH. Furthermore, most graduate programs like med school, various PhD programs, dental school, etc. give high...

This is a couple years early for me... but I submitted my EM residency application yesterday and I'll keep this in mind for the future. It sounds like an awesome experience!

nice stoke guys, glad someone is getting after it.

i chose fly fishing over skiing this weekend... afraid i may have missed my chance to get in some so cal turns for this year.

very nice... looks you guys had some nice turns regardless. it has been a downpour here in pasadena for the past 5 hours... there should be some nice turns to be had this week/next weekend as long...

I wish I had bought the super cheap virtual Baldy pass earlier this summer. Now I think I'll have to skip the $189 deal... seems a bit steep considering most days I went there last winter I just...

dude, the spencer loop was no joke. when i moved away from Ak they were thinking about expanding hilltop and wiping it out... i don't know if that ever happened. but yeah either way, hilltop sucks....

damn that last part of the exit looked sketch. i probably woulda skinned back up... but then again i'm a big wimp. glad you made it out safe

did he get stuck in the flats at 1:52?

JK, very nice.

loving all the backcountry stoke posted on this thread this year. keep it coming!

what a great day! i hope i can make it up after the next storm. skiing through may... wahoo!

that looks awesome... the bc terrain looks especially intriguing. hopefully the 2 out of la canada is open by next winter so it's a bit more accessible.

skiing baldy on wednesday was like skiing a slurpee in the rain and fog. we stayed in bounds due to the low vis, rain, and spontaneous pinwheels careening down the hill above chair 1. it was too...

wow, that's a pretty awesome TR! looking at his pics and reading his report, i agree with your assessment that it might be prudent to go with someone who knows the area. with that consideration...

nice pics 406, sad i missed the powder this weekend... not sad i missed the crowds.

i'm heading up to baldy with a friend on wednesday, and we plan to do a little sidecountry exploration. i've...

mt. baldy atop the "top snowfall" count with 48 inches?? i guess someone considers 7-10 day old snow to be new. anyway, i want to see some pics of some people enjoying the reported 2 feet overnight.

using the NOAA conversion factor, i think we should be happy if we get 4"-6" out of the next storm. assuming it doesn't actually dump, and i get enough work done before then, i'm planning on heading...

I think I saw your tracks on my ride down Chair 1... looked thin to say the least and good to hear you made it down unscathed. Another storm forecasted for late in the week... let's hope that this...

the skiing is always better in the cottonwoods so i'd go there as many days as possible regardless of the weather. if you're concerned about a road closure, don't buy tickets ahead of time and just...

No one has posted any pics from today so I thought I'd throw a couple up. We made it up to the parking lot at Mt. Baldy a little later than anticipated due to some issues with our chains. After...

they're always overly optimistic, but this is the farthest off i've ever seen their report. all the forecasts were calling for 6 inches of rain in the foothills... 6 inches of snow is below even my...

i know there have been a few TRs. it certainly does look inviting, especially after a few laps on a rutted out thunder mountain. i haven't been out there yet either, but the sidecountry out of...

we've had a tremendous amount of rain down here in glendale. however, i'm afraid it's all going to waste with these warm temps...

where are these CEO ski vacation rumors coming from?

just wanted to say that you're the man and i hope you get the job. i voted for you over some people i actually know...

i think during your interview all you have to do is show them your numerous...

yes, it is all in bounds, and yes, it is skiable. it requires a short hike, from the jupiter lift, and it is not always open. the lines farther lookers left are usually better (unless it has just...

This, but try to get in to medical school first. Then, out of the ones that let you in, see which school has an awesome dean of admissions who will let you take a year off to just ski. That way,...

as a former pre-med student and current med student with the exact same stats you have coming out of high school, i'd agree that it's harder to balance skiing with girls/parties than it is to balance...

you're gonna end up spending most of your week driving there and back.

having skied extensively at all the wasatch resorts, it is my opinion that jupiter is amongst the top 7ish chair lifts in the state. after a storm, there is fun stuff off of mcconkey's, thanes, and...

especially after milito came in. those two were certainly on the same page. he should get the start over higuain for match 2.

although the scoreline wasn't impressive, argentina could have easily won 4-0. messi never misses that many chances. however, i agree with the comments about their backline... looked porous during...

until the past couple of weeks, the temp was still getting below freezing at night on a regular basis which makes a huge difference. also, being so close to the ocean, the daytime highs (while warm)...

i haven't had a chance to get up there in a few weeks, is there enough snow to have a little fun for a few hours?

while it has been a good winter, the nws has seriously exaggerated every single storm this year.

yeah, actually. that's usually what happens when the snowpack starts to dwindle. i would like to know the date so i can try to get back up there before that date. if they didn't know the date yet,...

+1, muchas gracias for the cheap pass and now this. it has been a fun couple months.

any word on closing date? this weather sucks, but when i was up a few days ago chair 3 still had a good...

nice TR! i'll be up there tomorrow to enjoy the snow while it lasts...which may not be long with this weather.

north facing i'd say old pow. the far west side of south bowl was still like that, and anything that stays mostly out of the sun was still in a winter-like state. i don't know how long it will last...

someone put a nice line down the north side of telegraph today or yesterday...looks real good from the top of chair 3.

agreed. east castle should be a boot pack, side stepping that whole thing is horrendous. however, if it hasn't snowed in so long that east castle is actually open, there are probably better things...

i made $100/day last year working at alta, and from what i've heard, that's probably better than or as good as you can expect even if you have some experience.

While it sucks to have some haphazard gaper, child, or old women clog the high T, under no circumstance is it appropriate to cuss out, hit with a pole, or otherwise harm the unfortunate obstacle, who...

don't give up hope just yet. we were in a similar spot last year... then the last 2 weeks of march and first 2 weeks of april was the best month of skiing i've ever experienced.
