TAHOE 22/23 -THE YEAR OF THE (t)RAM

[old goat]

Are you trying to say that squirrels can predict the future?

Are you saying they can't?

[The AD]

Are you saying they can't?

I don't know. Maybe they can read pine cones like fortune tellers read tea leaves?

That's clearly not a skwirl, it's a beevr

[Eastside]

About an hour ago I saw a squirrel climbing a tree with a pine cone in Stateline. Cone was half eaten.

Then there is this Marmot...
Seems to have moved in beside the TRT.

I'm with Vets thinking that groundhogs predict weather better than squirrlz.

[old goat]

OK, how about this--my neighbor has put up his snow poles already.
One thing I know for sure--the date on which the new thread drops has zero value in predicting the season.

I can't help but notice that humans are awful about predicting weather. There was the infamous KOLO incident where an announcer complained about shoveling 6" of "partly sunny". Squirrels (and rabbits) can only do better. Then again an old-ish Washoe saying was that they knew winter was coming when the white men started stacking wood. Wood is being stacked.

[old goat]

I stack my wood in the spring

Re: snowpoles

Maybe they are leaving town till December?

[old goat]

Nope

[SnowMachine]

I'm stacking wood early this year. I'm hoping for another banger. It's been such a strange summer. I could see it going either way. This summer has reminded me of the summers when I was a kid. Back when it snowed a ton.

Rallied and made some Pacific Crest Turns today before work…

Vets schussing “Summit City Surprise” yesterday, 8/28/23.

We stumbled upon this sweet slope several summers ago.

It’s the season for finding lost stix.
I found one up on SRB early July. Posted here, Truckee People FB, and San Francisco Backcountry Skiers FB. I also went around to all the shops. So far nobody has claimed it.

Depending on the length, width, and BSL of your find we might be able to make a Frankenpair…

Or a coupla shot skis…

My owner sent it
Thought he could fly
But his landings are suspect
No matter how hard he tries
I jettisoned off
When he touched down in pow
And I’ve waited for him to find me
It must be two years now
If he ever sees this
After these couple years
I’m pretty sure he owes Gaffney
A six pack of beers

All these years behind the camera and it turns out THIS is your gift.

Not-kidding idea: let's do a series of kids (and dorky adults) books. You write them, Max Miller illustrates...make them all GNAR points based tales?

You mean porn, right?

I’ve creeped over Sonora Pass in a blizzard on the Friday night of Labor Day weekend. It was fun.
