11/12 Tahoe Weather, Conditions, Stoke, and What's Up Thread... IT'S BAAAAAAAACK!!!

[parkmeister]

sugarbowl is reporting another 4" at the base and 6" at the top in the last 24 hrs.

...My wife is due November 20 with our first kiddo, so going away on a trip and finding a broken dog to bring home wasn't exactly her idea of perfect-timing. But, we weren't against another dog, we were just waiting to find "ours". Also, we are saps, and my wife always gets bummed when there is a sad dog at the pound or left alone in the backyard all day everyday other than to yell at it for barking from neglect, or when the SPCA commercial comes on at night. I tell her, all you can really do is take really good care of the one's that come your way...

congrats! my guess is that mr and mrs splitter will be FUCKING AWESOME parents.

[TahoeJ]

Damn, all of this snow and the resorts won't open for several weeks. I guess it's time to finally pull the trigger on an AT setup.

[3snowboards]

Its snowing down the canyons all the way to valley floor by washoe lake.
4700'?

Hit up Kwood this am. Super fun snow. Sugar base, a good spackling of Sierra Cement & light dry pow over the top. that refresh last night put a great layer down. Get out & get some now people, before it's gone again.

[snapt]

Hit a lap with powhound and hoss at kwood. A few shaks with lazer beams lurking but so much fun for October 6th!

[Nuthon]

Still Dumping @ Tahoe Keys Marina. might have to try this weekend also

[Hoss Worthington]

Kirkwood was the goods today. Glad to meet you, snapt & powdrhound (and bella).

[The Dad]

What skis did you drag out, Hoss?

[Hoss Worthington]

I feel like I'm being mocked. But if you must know, I went with the Gotamas. But don't think for a second that I didn't contemplate postholing up Kirkwood with those powder boards.

[powdork]

holy crap, where were you all?? ran into harpo the skier and a friend, as well as gimpy a bit later plus some non-mags (or maybe)

[powdrhound]

We were on the Pali side of the Avi line.



Here is a taste. No claims on video quality....

[powdork]

ahh, couldn't figure out where that crazy skin track was headin.

[The Dad]

Not mocked at all. I figured you would use touring skis, but I bet the Powders would've been F-U-N.

[Nuthon]

was there at 6:30 & left at 10. we had 5 of us post hole sentinel to the top.


Hoss was that you this morning @ chair 7 as 5 knuckle draggers came down around 9:30.

I love early season sentinel turns.

[idiot]

nuthon good to hear your back on your board.

i was the 7th up sentinel, and i still had to put in the skin track. wtf?

[Hoss Worthington]

I hit the skin track right around 9am. I'd like to think I was a little higher than chair 7 by 9:30, but it might have been me. Bright orange jacket, bright red pack?

[SchralphMacchio]

seriously powdork? Ski School already? I'm sure once upon a time during a cold La Nina long long ago someone hit that earlier in the year than you, but I'm gonna go ahead and say that they didn't put it on the Internet and you scored the earliest descent of that little drop in.

[powdork]

^actually, i'm sad to say i was second. what schralph is alluding to is this vid

[splitter]

thanks man, though, with all that excitement it makes me wonder if we're acquainted? Thanks again for the vote of confidence.

congrats! my guess is that mr and mrs splitter will be FUCKING AWESOME parents.

[powdork]

if anyone's thinking about tomorrow, this was how it looked when i left this afternoon. the sun had obviously beaten everything to shit



a few more pics from today via my sig

[Sunny]

Okay fine, so I never post... but thought this was worth it. Mt Lincoln was deep today and was sick to get Oct 6th pow!

Its on!

[bigpowd]

Wonderful snow kirkwood today, nice to meet some Maggots at Chair 7 showing us the route.
