December was good, but I must respond to your question with a resounding yes. It gets better. Way better.

[powdork]

perhaps i worded that wrong. Does December in Tahoe get any better is more what it should be

[MTT]

Also agree Dec (Right around Christmas) was very good.

But how many Core Shots. 6 feet of pow but nothing under it.

I wacked hidden stumps tree tops and rocks more times than I can count. Had to get 6 core shots repaired on my 196 Lhasa's. 1 Actualy tore the Carbon stringer that runs under the base of the Ski.

Repaired 2 days of damage


SO!
Waitng for a 3 to 6 foot storm on top of the 6 to 10 Ft base we have now.

Thats is going to be Epic 2006 repeat?

[MTT]

To Add Powdork your stoke has been HIGH and appriciated.

I did not think you could top past years but you have been going at it.

How about some Huck pictures showing a stuck landing and ski away?

[powdork]

you mean like this?

[Shadam]

oh so few of us keep this place ticking ...

must be time for skier666 to show some TR steeze ...

Hate to ask But Emerald Bay is now Frozen. Can ya go back up there take the same shot with a Frozen emerald Bay in the Background?

It would be ooh so cool.

[powdork]

^^^nothing on this planet would make me happier, but

sadly this is likely her last appearance in one of my tr's

[TahoeBC]

Sure we have had bigger snow packs & way deeper days, but for constantly good snow especially if you got away from the resort I'd be hard pressed to think of a better December and the good times keep on rolling.

[powdork]

and emerald bay is sooo not frozen

[N1CK.]

Super. You guys got it real good last month.

[MTT]

and emerald bay is sooo not frozen

What Huh? I just read an article somewhere that it froze. Went on about how it had not froze since 199X?

Well thats for the stoke, go figure. Was also reading about all the pipe bursts At Harra's Harveys, ect

[TahoeBC]

Maybe the guy who wrote that had eaten one to many brownies and was looking at Cascade on the other side of the road

[Lexi-Bell]

Quality stoke nice work! Gotta ask are there future access issues which will prevent you from getting into Emerald? Moving away? Yer given me blue balls not knowing why powdork cant slaw tha pow!

[powdork]

the access issues exist with the other person in the picture. no problems skiing there, just can't take the same picture.

[AKbruin]

Nice TR, Powdork.

It was indeed a great December in Tahoe. And, for that matter, January isn't off to a bad start either. But part of me is looking forward to sweaty temperatures and corn in April and May. Man, it's been cold.

[gimpy]

nice buddy. sorry to hear bout yer access issues. been having some of those myself

[powdork]

no worries. tomorrow is another (powder) day
these didn't make it into either report i don't think. they were ottime's pics from 12/15 so they were on http://powderhappy.blogspot.com. nacho felt stiffed




i totally did the flung cat off this hit, but somehow the camera caught me in a not-so-awkward moment. that never happens

[Ottime]

^^^^I really enjoy that pic, because it was so a flung cat.

And for your stompage MTT



And another Schralph shot that worked out


And finally, Schralph, schralphing on two planks

[Ottime]

Quality stoke nice work! Gotta ask are there future access issues which will prevent you from getting into Emerald? Moving away? Yer given me blue balls not knowing why powdork cant slaw tha pow!

The problem with slawing the pow is trying to find a good method to shred it. Every time I try, I end up with small crystals instead of strips. And when I add the mayo and vinegar, well, all hell breaks loose. What a mess.

[ShawnB]

Sum dem pics is berry nice.


And Kirkwood's grabby volcanic rock takeoffs are the natural habitat of the wild Flung Cat. Place is lousy with 'em.

Some of them dress like me.
But they're totally not me.
