Thieves steal $25,000 in skis, snowboards in overnight Truckee burglary
TRUCKEE, Calif. — Police are investigating an overnight burglary of a downtown ski and snowboard shop where more than $25,000 worth of gear was stolen.
At about 3 a.m. Thursday, suspects broke into the Soulhouse Project Ski and Snowboard Shop at 10116 E St., just off Donner Pass Road, according to the Truckee Police Department, and took roughly 40 skis and snowboards.
“The alarm was activated upon entry; however, the thieves appeared to quickly flee the area after the activation,” officers said in a Thursday afternoon statement.
TPD Det. Arnie Lopez said a minimum of two people are suspected in the burglary. The shop, located at the old Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church site, was brand new to Truckee and was expected to open for business next week, he said.
Detectives are working with other local and state law enforcement on leads and are awaiting results from the California Department of Justice crime lab for evidence found at the shop.
“We have very good success at locating suspects in these kinds of cases when the public stays alert to possible scams and provides information to law enforcement,” said TPD Sgt. Bob Womack.
The stolen gear is reportedly worth more than $25,000. Officers suspect the items will soon be advertised on CraigsList or in a similar venue.
“The snowboards were all brand new, without bindings, made by Lib Technologies and Burton in various graphic designs and models,” officers said. “The skis were all Moment brand, unmounted, and will require a template to install any bindings.”
Anyone with information should contact Womack at 530-550-2335 or Lopez at 530-550-2336.

Wow that sucks. Would raise some eyebrows on CraigsList locally but easy enough to get that amount of gear out of Tahoe. You could easily fund a winter road trip around the west by selling a couple pairs at every stop without raising too much suspicion. Another shop even somewhat local could also fold that into their inventory as well. Here's to hoping their genitals end up in a vice.

No joke, that's a lot better since the last time I checked.
I'm gonna be up near Sac for the weekend of the 7th (25 Hours of Thunderhill if anybody's a road racing fan) and gonna try to take a few days to hit Tahoe the following week, anybody got opinions on the best place to go at that point of the season? Family might come up and none of them are serious skiers either, so somewhere with nice shiny lodge/shopping/etc wouldn't be the worst.

Northstar. If you want mellow skiing with plenty of man made. Squaw if you plan to leave tem at the base and head up to the upper mountain (assuming we get snow).

So much for that rain doing us some good. Anyone further south take a look yet?
"Little change to the snowpack has occurred on N aspects in Hourglass Bowl since the observations made on Nov 17. Weak depth hoar and strong snowpack temperature gradients continue to exist and were not destroyed by rainfall."

Facets shmacets. There won't even be enough snow to do anything but wreck skis and bones even IF this storm over produces. Stick to climbing, biking, and football watching until the goods are here.
Interesting anti stoke article on powdiction a while ago:http://www.powdiction.com/2014/11/ho...-froze-us.html
"Since records began in the mid to late 1800s there have only been two other cold air outbreaks of this magnitude in November, which occurred in 1880 and 1976. If extreme cold air outbreaks in November are any indication of Sierra snowfall, we are in for a dismal snow year. The winters of 1881 and 1977 were the two lowest on record…"

The Magic carpet is better then nothing.... Oh, crap who am I kidding, that is a joke.
Weather forecast is looking better, but have been seeing that for the last 3 yrs. Forecast looks good, then the storm goes North or South or beats it's self to death on the high pressure ridge.

You forgot option number four where warm air dominates through end of precipitation period with rain falling right up to the facets.
