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

Yes GCP did it open? Cause besides the Palisades, I think everything else opened sans Silvy. Anyone know if/when silvy will open?

Yea the Peak. Anyone know? Does anyone know if they will spin silvy this year?

GCP did not open today. Looked like a pretty large slide made its way down into the flats. Actually, it seemed as though anything steep slid. Hope no one goes out in the BC yet.

Too late.

Nuthon, glad you didn't ass-fixHE8. Stoked you were going for it. Definitely a day to huck yourself.

And no, nothing behind idiots opened.

cool thanks!

Yeah, I figured.

The Moment guys said they are going to be at Rose on Sunday. They did bring a huge stack of skis. Thanks.

Why didn't I take a day off this week... No legs or energy left.

Snowing lightly @ 7,800.

Let it Snow!

careful out there in the b/c saw a lot of natural slides today. All had rocky trigger points.

The trees ski safe as normal, and it was deep!

miracle march!

Good call, KW sucked today. Too much powder and they couldn't groom hardly any. Hopefully Vail fixes that next year. Sneaked over to the far side of the wall just as it popped - that wasn't groomed either

In other news, I had a sluff follow me down pretty mellow terrain in sentinel bowl. Grew to about 15 feet wide, 6 inches deep.

Heavenly didn't suck today. KW tomorrow and Monday. Yèeeeeaaaaaar! /dean

Grouse Saddle slid with what appeared, looking from Sherwood lift at Alpine, to be at least a 10 foot crown.

I saw tracks on Pond Slope and the Butress so I figured everything out there opened. I would trust kidwoo's account and the website status.

I think some people traversed out there from Low Beaver.

<cohee> GOOOOOOOOD MORNING KIRKWOOD SKIERS AND RIDERS......

eeeeeeeessshhhhh. that looks painful. today was good. next few days should be even better.

ran into dj out in the bc today getting after it and was stoked to ski w/ him for the 1st time since right before his accident. sooo great to see him back at it

Yes, the Low beave traverse went all of the way to the butress.

Alpine was a lot of fund today. I think everyone else thought so too:


Attack of the Ants!

We had fun too though:

Daaaaaamn, snap son! Look how mature and grown up he's gotten - he said to me yesterday: "We're not going to go up this weekend. Not worth risking injury a week before the wedding, being out of ski shape and all. I've chalked it up to a lost winter."

In his defense, he's marrying a hottie hottie. Mazeltov for him, and all of you fuckers scoring faceshots this weekend.

Kirkwood lines were not bad at all on Saturday. That picture is misleading. Never more than a 5-10 minute wait.

Well, it looks like some parts of Tahoe finally got a good reset yesterday! 10' crown height in places.

As I said in our email, that's gotta be about the biggest that side of Silver has ever gone.

Yo Zep, about those "trees skiing safe"...

Nice photos all. My North Beach Guinness tasted good yesterday.

Anyone from the usual crew up Mon-Tues? Text/Call. Might hit Heave as payback for all the Epic asswipes who've invaded KW.

You must have me mixed up with someone else. Who's the other poor sap?

Grouse Saddle looked like it went at least that big too.

This morning was better than yesterday. Legit face shots every single run. Spent most of the morning between Reily's and Sherwood Run, in the vicinity of the Bakery, but the top runs were probably the last two, through the Shuttle Cornice. Then back to the front side via Counterweight, but cutting left under the Our Father Traverse (in light of the Catholic Church scandals, I think we should call this line Choirboy).

Wiped.
