    what are they planning to open? Funi to mountain run? I can't believe there is much of anything on the ground up there..
    In the past they've opened red dog--just Champs normally. Maybe they have more snowmaking on the mountain run with their fabulous upgrade.

    Anybody's girlfriend/SO sell their ABS pack out from under them out of spite? I snagged one for $75 off of craigslist from a woman that didn't look like a crackhead in a neighborhood that doesn't have many crackheads.

    If it's yours, let me know and I'll give it back for what I paid.

    Completely unrelated question -- where should I go to get an ABS pack I bought off craigslist tested?

    I can't believe Squaw is going to open to be honest. I like to bitch about KSL as much as the next guy but I wouldn't blame them for waiting at least another week... assuming it remains cold enough to make snow every night. I'd rather go mountain biking still than make turns down gold coast.

    Any Thanksgiving opening is pretty much a marketing play to get Christmas bookings (and discourage cancelations).

    Agree with The Dad......even man made wise, it is bad out there. My Rose adventure showed me why they weren't open....we followed the 1 cat track and still was bare and rocky.

    I'll be at the wood this week killing Outlaw. Otherwise, I'll have touring gear. But I'm bringing sleds and lots if beer. Next week maybe I'll feel different.

    your daughter ties up your gf? weird.

    Anyhoo, try to keep your spirits up after this, from The Storm King: "ENSO-neutral phases during a negative PDO [like now]show the largest seasonal precipitation deficits in the western U.S."

    Maybe it's too early to worry since it's still ski movie season. Anyone else going to Warren Miller Friday at Squaw?

    My bad. In all fairness, pics of daughters (especially when it's not obvious it's your daughter) should come with a disclaimer. I think you're familiar with what goes in here. But she's a badass doing solid climbs at that age.

    This seems to happen every year in this thread. If I post pics of my 5 year old daughter skiing this season is someone going to say "HOT!" ?

    P.S. - good stuff getting your kids up on the wall like that.

    Hey...this got me thinking...what the hell happened to Bobofest 13...the usual Warren Miller show in Reno? The movies usually aren't the best...but the trade show was always great for loading up on enough free chapstick to get through a season.

    Warren in Reno was kinda slow. I picked the wrong year to attend. Are all the Warren movies dead?

    Not in Santa Cruz. It gets packed. Unfortunately, MSP had like 12 people in attendance last year, and is no longer coming back.

    Nova! That off width section she is in right there is a pain! Way to get your kids after it. Anyway, the dry spell and cursing of mother nature continue...

    Went up to Mt Rose and took a few runs this afternoon before work.
    Without a doubt the best ski day of the season so far.

    Race course skied well enough for a few fun laps today with family. Drive the son to sleep and took a look at the sisters. There seems to be a few full gullies if someone wants to walk a ways. The mountains to the south of Round Top, that you see as you come out of Hope Valley actually looked nicely plastered.

    do you mean down by ebbett's or closer. i was surprised how much snow there was at true value crag last week which is at 5600' before you start heading up ebbetts.
    but to the point, i would be up for a walk on friday or saturday.

    sounds like you're talking about the peaks above forestdale divide though
