They're going to build a new bridge and parking lot east of the 89/west river intersection where that burned out a-frame is.

They already built most of the paved trail south of the river between...

hoselay around it and holding, but there's some longer range spots that they've handled so far

good shit earlier in the week though

In my experience, patrol and bystanders are on scene with beacons long before dogs or a probe line get organized. And reco seems to be a bodyfinder.

It's literally just people walking around the parking lot punching in plates. There's no scanner at the entrance.

I don't remember linking my parking account to my pass, so I don't think they can...

The past week or so has been more fun than the psycho deep cycles earlier in the month

Idk the pitch but it's metal. It built up a giant ice dam that doesn't usually form.

No bracing, just gonna keep it clear(ish) and limp thru to spring

My parents house just had a rafter crack. Loud crack and now the ceiling is bowed in. 6500 ft in tahoe donner, house built in 1989

Spent all morning cutting up the column of ice with a chainsaw

Red dog downgraded to "mid to late december" https://blog.palisadestahoe.com/gondola/construction/

seasonal layoffs get unemployment. management ultimately makes these decisions.

i just got off WB at DPR where the closure is (still) in effect

Nice afternoon at Alpine

is it an old unit? The only ones I've seen without battery backup are >15y old.

Look for something like this in the front, below the glass

Why in the world would you break the closure to ride fucking sawtooth

low viz high wind panic cruise hell yea

Put the patrol dispatcher numbers in your phone: https://www.squawalpine.com/footer/mountain-safety-policies

Agreed that's probably for the roundabout. Hopefully they can get it in before winter? Cutting it very close

It seems like they're also consolidating access to coldstream though -- they graded the...

similarly, does anybody have intel on what they're doing in donner state park? tons of work on the roads and changes to access points in the last ~3 weeks

God I wish it were all one county

I'm more frequently stuck behind people idling on DPR next to the shell station than people trying to get up old 40, but I live at the east end of the lake.
I wish TPD would just make people get...

rain washed away most of the "10pm-6am" parts of the No Parking signs along donner, so now they're just No Parking signs. Nature is healing

this is a shoveling forum now, post up your shoveling stoke

Seems like a copout. Who writes the policies?

+1 for a unified pan-california backcountry thread.

At the very beginning, if you made a left off of the chair rather than looping around to the right. There's a little drop to flat right as you start the traverse; that whole area disappeared under me.

You're not wrong -- they've been fucked for months -- but I also skied them into the breezeway at the end of the day.

Clairvoyant.

Another great day today.

We got to gentian first, but the cornice collapsed under the traverse, sending me & some VW sized chunks downhill. Scary as hell, but only a 10-15...

I've felt more undergunned on my hojis this month than all of last year

I was under the impression that we get bigger storm totals & MUCH bigger winds here than the intermountain region.
I skied jackson for my first time earlier this year after an ~8" dump; iirc we...

Isn't it the same-ish aspect as sherwood?

I've always wondered about the drainage directly north of the top of scott. Is that national forest? Could they expand into there?

Is this gonna be cool? I'm not a sledder but I kinda wanna be

Scheduling is not great, and the westbound line is ~2 hrs late on average.
The capitol corridor is way better -- I used to ride that from auburn to oakland and back 2-3 times a month. They discussed...

There is nothing in the universe of skiing that pisses me off more than the alpine bull run

They’re doing a missing person recovery at Squaw. Hence the closures

New KSL pass. Seems big for squaw folks...

No dogs in LCC? Wtf is that shit? Fucked up my whole plan

Did that work for you? I'm heading that way next week.

Any suggestions for where to park an RV near big sky? Their website makes them seem very uptight.

Why did the plow guys make you move & not me? That was fucked up

No water. We tried and the line froze. Not a catastrophic failure, just frozen for now. Maybe it'll work again when we go somewhere warmer


Thanks, it's a lot of fun! You can walk thru

JH tomorrow thru this next storm cycle, montana for the holiday weekend. Sun valley sometime after that. Then we're hoping utah/co stop sucking.
