There's been Gasex up on the Spur for YEARS...I know because I may have explored all the Spur skiing options ;)

Well, NOAA is forecasting 90F in SF on Tuesday...

If I wasn't at work, in the Bay, had kids to pickup...I'd be making a turn right about now above Roundtop Lake. :)

^^^^
Haha...I know that guy! All hail hail skiin'

Finally finished an archive trip report for the late season at Squaw for 16/17...

Nice! Well at least it was probably a bit softer than when we were out there...

End of August on The Sisters!

The thread lives...

Since I have unrestricted Squaw and headed to Telluride for President's week...I grabbed a Tahoe Local for KW and the option of NS since Turx said so. :)

Sierra Cement and I headed out to The Sisters on Thursday and...well...skied two legitimate laps before 11am.

Solid day out on the skis. Snowpack in the middle of the run is about 10-15 feet...

Sweet!


I'm up in South Lake this week and may go Thursday or Friday morning.

In case you were wondering why I wasn't skiing around Tahoe in July... :fmicon:

Such nice stoke...

FOR AUGUST! :fmicon:

Out of curiosity, coming from where in Colorado?

The Sisters always hold the most vert and snow... :)

Does the chute looker's right just out of frame still go?

I'll probably make a visit in 2 weeks haha.

Some delayed Father's Day stoke from Squaw Valley International Resort of California...

I'll be at Squaw for Father's Day weekend...WHY? Because Dad needs to ski and not a new tie. Let me know if anyone wants to make epic laps with my family. heh. After that, I'm headed to Telluride...

Ski resorts aren't real life in my opinion...but when you barely ski, you have to do what it takes to get your fix. Full disclosure, the almost 9 year old was in the plush chairs in the Olympic...

He was in the lodge for 30 mins with my phone so I could do 3 laps before heading out of town...:fmicon:

Here's some Memorial Day weekend KT laps set to classic Slayer for your viewing enjoyment...

KT was so fun yesterday...even my son was stoked on West Face and Chute 75.

Headed to Squaw on Saturday with my 8 year old and a buddy...

Dad really would rather ski Dana Plateau but thats not going to happen is it so he'll take whatever he can get

Springtastic Squaw footage from last week...

Super rad day yesterday with Snowbrains/Squaw crew!

Last minute decision to day trip from SF after social media showing me how good the Chimney looked...and I had to get some. The Chimney was open...

3 days out of 6. Its been pretty much bluebird since I left and big stuff was skied...oh well. ;)

Obviously I screwed up the date inside the vid...oh well...already deleted the editing file. However, it was early April 2017.

Bought Squaw Passes but May is an insane month on the...

I haven't skied in Tahoe for awhile, but did manage to finally head up to Haines, AK earlier this month. I'll throw up a detailed TR up on Snowbrains in the next few days.

...

Flying with SEABA

Haha...I drive the spur like I'm drunk and its a video game....swerving all over the place. Personally, hugging the skier's right line near the gutter seemed to work well this season. :)

The...

News to me...I always called this Patrolmens. Not that I'm right. Either way, it does get skied fairly often with a decent snowpack.

Some pics from Kirkwood yesterday:

emcee...

That's Patrolmen's - almost dropped in yesterday for the hell of it, but you usually need to straightline out, so you'd want pretty favorable un-bumpy conditions on the outrun.

From...

Kirkwood was interesting today. Now I know why Sentinel was closed this morning for awhile and probably why palisades was closed all day. Anyway, my first few turns down Oops I immediately knew what...

It UNLEASHED last night and this morning in SF...[/FWIW]

Looks like I'm skiing Silverado alone today? Its warm already and its stunningly blue...a green beer already sounds good.

I've got 35 years under my belt at Kirkwood...so yeah, no need to explain Red Cliffs. Yeah, its the place where I used to ski Whiskey so I could ski down to the sundeck and meet my dad for lunch. ...

Thanks for all the tips/experiences guys...

Just looking to change it up...we do have a family home in South Lake but all but one of the families that ski on a regular basis are up in North Lake...

Had a pretty good time this past weekend poking in and around Kirkwood. Highlights being Thunder Bowl and West Shore for sure!

Talking to my brother who was at Heavenly this past weekend while I was at Kirkwood, it was like we were at two different planets. His was in line after line...from trying to get buddy tix, to line...

Holy hell today was warm.

Kirkwood the next two days for myself...I should maybe say 1.5 days as 12:45pm till closing tomorrow I will be following the sun with my 5 year old. May take a peek in Thunder Bowl and the Spur...

Ottime has it right. Old as shit and sore all over. That, and some of my usual stuff wasn't open due to coverage

With the Spur closed this morning at 5am...its a Telluride trip photo edit and video game day in the city by the Bay.

In any case, here's some stoke from Telluride just over a week ago:

...

Based on the forecast, it looks like ANOTHER Sunday where its going to tough to get to Kirkwood. Saying low snow-levels, high winds...and up to 3 feet of champagne powdah.

Just typing out my...

Still can't believe Ottime and I skied Carnels in the Cirque on July 2nd, 2011...

http://www.tr.slaythegnar.com/KW_07_02_11_050.jpg

Looking UNREAL!!!!!

Telluride has been really fun...not deep but some blower pow the last few days and the kids are having a blast.

For AKbruin...
