MAKE TAHOE DEEP AGAIN ~ 2016/17 OFISHUL SNOW/FOOD/WHINE & STOKE THREAD

[old goat]

A lot of those lines are going off this year. A local Mom showed me a instagram of her son in Pony Express, the other day. We are talking a no joke don't mess up kind of line, that is only skiable every so often. I just laughed and patted her on the back, she knows the deal, big skiing family.

No kid of mine is going to do that line, and my kid is 31.

I wanna ski with you old goat. I'm hoping to get up thattaway soon after DR closes.

Anyone need a 1/2 price voucher for Kirkwood? I don't think I'm going to get there before April 16 closing.

long as you don't mind waiting--a lot. My kid has pretty much given up on me.

[~mikey b]

I'll wait. I suspect the company will be worth it

Like I said, it is no joke, world class skiing, easy to look at it and shoot your mouth off, different deal standing on top of it. Scary stuff.

[TahoeBC]

looking up fallen angel, I nEver got a good shot of the full chute, easily negotiated crux is at the top of the picture

Nice, I've stood up on top of that twice this year but did not like the conditions, looks like you got good snow, any icy conditions encountered?

Edit: Never mind I just saw what I believe is a video of it being skied the other day, your group?

For a bit at least there was a way to snake under the choke, not sure if it still goes or not

[kidwoo]

You don't get it about Squallywood.

And you have no idea what I'm talking about. It's not 'powder stashes' and it's not magically showing people already interested in finding lines that they exist.

But keep assuming you know what my gripes were. By all means. You obviously took it way more seriously than I was.

yes please. will be there next week.

I can put it in the mail tomorrow.

Instead of being ellipitical, wtf are your gripes?

[DJSapp]

Anybody know when Sierra season pass prices go up? Trying to hold out until the tax refund hits.

[B__]

I can't recall the exact date but I think the pass office told me the current offer is good until late April.

how much snow fell today now that the storm is moving out? enough to mank up our corn cycle?

Two three inches of cold high water content snow. Good snow. Not enough to change much.

[LightRanger]

Edit: Never mind I just saw what I believe is a video of it being skied the other day, your group?

The clip where the skier was (somewhat predictably) hit by his own sluff and did a nice little cartwheel mid-line?

You obviously took it way more seriously than I was. Indeed.

One to two inches on Becker..Not enough to ski well today as it just made for evil breakable. I agree with 4matic that it won't change much on sunny aspects going forward and will likely just serve to keep the surface smooth.

Tahoe BC - I had looked at it in the past as well and turned away, but on Monday anyway it was very straight forward and straight forward compared to your photo as well. The rocks that are evident skiers left of the first few turns in your photo are covered.

No ice or inconsistencies on Monday, conditions were great, the choke was not an issue, the route you highlighted is available. There was sluff but we did not have negative encounters with it :-), our crew was my wife and I (2 others we were with called it quits and went down the south side) there was no video that I know of.

We were 2nd and 3rd tracks of the day, the first was Jeremy Jones and his track was clean, to me he's an inspiration and meeting him briefly out there put a nice touch on a very fun day. Hope you have fun out there as well!

[TahoeBC]

Nice score, looked at the video again on a bigger screen and it was halls being skied, prolly the same day as you. I ran into Jeremy once on top of a big line, super nice guy!
