Thread: A Tahoe Chrismas Eve TR

Spats and myself headed to the slopes in the morning and started with some Groomers



That got boring quick so it was time to head out the gates for some side country



We roped up to navigate this glacier


Then dropped into the burn area






Time for another lap, It's cool I got a pass



Same Zone from last year around this time, please let it snow!

very nIce.
way to take lemons and make lemonade.
lemonade's for summer though dammit. bring on the snow!!!

I've got a bunch of pictures to upload, but the TGR image uploader is broken...no matter what, it says "This is not a valid image file." So my contribution will be delayed until TGR fixes their broken forum software.

Yeah, it was ironic to be doing Firebreak on a bicycle. SNOW DAMMIT

Crazy looks like summer up there...!

awesome... and terribly depressing.

way to make the best out of what you have though, those lifties must have gotten a kick out of that!

Nicely done.

man, the lack of snow under the gondola is staggering. there must be quite a few depressed x-mas week vacationers there. wow.

tahoe locals, is this the worst you have ever seen it on december 25 ?

DAMMNNNNN

And i thought we had it bad in colorado.

Those bushes have fucking green leaves still on them! It is january. wtfffffffffff

It's the worst I remember since I started skiing in Tahoe in 84. Been times were theirs not much more open at this time a year but a least there's enough snow that biking really is not feasible.

The Manzanita & White thorn are evergreens here in the Sierra's, but yea FTW they should be covered in snow!

oh man,
we're headed out from the 1st until the 8th. Flights and condo have been locked in since Sept. Looks like the north side maybe a bit better?

No, it's shit everywhere. The only skiable terrain involves snowmaking. N* and the Heave actually have the most trails open.

Bring your groomer skis and sharpen those edges.
