    Rode DH off Glendora Mtn Rd today (79 degrees), barely a spec of snow to be seen across the valley on Baldy. Thunder and Telegraph looked completely bare, but maybe it was just the angle. Insane to be sweating like a pig riding at 3,000 feet in JANUARY.

    Dang it is baad in California. Baldy still has not really opened Thunder, Mammoth is skiing poorly. I feel guilty for complaining about skiing packed powder for a 3rd straight at 100% open Schweitzer.

    Dude, Baldy was killing it that day! The parking lot looked like a weekend powder day, standing room only, but the fucktards were out in force for sure. I saw one family sledding on their SHOWER CURTAIN that they obviously pulled off the rings as they were leaving LA for the mountain, too funny.

    There is some poaching going on at Baldy.Thunder looked skiable on that one shaded north facing run.

    It was fun to get up there and hike around last Friday.

    Skied Mt. High yesterday. More fun than I thought it would be, some park jumps and a couple of nice groomers. Some of the groomers were empty so you could open it up.....For two turns. I was pleasantly surprised.

    A ticket is only 25$, if you have a pass from another California mountain. The deal is on through the end of January. My Mammoth pass is in Mammoth, so I brought in a receipt for my season pass, which they were fine with.

    Dammit, that was my second guess, couldn't see enough of the desert in the background. Ever have trouble with scumbags breaking into your car while it's parked back there? Heard it's bad. Maybe it's better to get a ride over the ridge?

    SNOW WILL NOT BE A PROBLEM WITH THESE INCOMING STORMS AS THE SNOW
    LEVEL WILL INITIALLY BE AROUND 9000 FEET...THEN LOWER TO 6000 FEET
    BY SATURDAY NIGHT. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE MINIMAL IN THE
    MOUNTAINS ABOVE 6000 FEET.
    ANOTHER QUICK MOVING COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION SUNDAY
    NIGHT...AND MOVE OUT BY MONDAY AFTERNOON. RAIN AMOUNTS SHOULD BE
    LESS THAN THE WEEKEND STORM.

    I've heard similar stories (maybe it was regarding Gorgonio?) But yeah, I parked at Manker and hiked over the notch.

    If we ever get some snow here, I wouldn't mind taggin along on some Socal BC. 15 years of BC experience in Colorado, skied Jepson chute, and wahoo gullies out here. But don't know anyone who ever wants to go. Looks like I found the right site for that. Have my peep, shovel, probe etc.. Is there a socal BC trip thread, or is this it?

    Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?

    So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....

    This is a good thread to watch.

    Where in socal are you located. There are a few of us around, but it all depends on conditions, which there are none of at the moment. East side Sierra is favorite haunt from most socal mags.

    I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...

    Not to sound desperate, but did the wind during that last 4-6" storm deposit anything extra on the north side of the Notch? Guessing Sugarloaf at Bear probably has better coverage.

    Post from Oli on the Mammoth forum:

    "we packed down the base and built up the ramp to unload off chaor 3 at baldy today, we got water to the top of 3 and should be blowing snow tonight . im optimistic we will get toilet bowl, shortcut, and bonanza open on friday. i made some pow turns on skyline between checking the snowmaking equipment, it was surprisingly good for the first 100 yards, then it got real thin below that. robins still too bony.."

    Unfortunately for now, Baldy's your hucklberry only if you want to go on weekends.
