Fuck we need some precipitation on all fronts in SoCal...

Heading up for 2/3 days next weekend. Anyone going to be up?

Good discussion points here.

All due respect I think a lot of folks don't understand a) how big these hilly areas are and b) how steep/shitty they are to navigate on foot. Also it's not like they...

CA has very low property tax rates compared to pretty much every other coastal state. Properties also aren't re-assessed unless there is sale.

This isn't far-out forest lands where they do the burn mitigation on the reg. This is dense, urban hillsides that have all this dead brush that grows up every winter/spring. It's in close proximity...

Understood, thanks for clarifying. I caught up with my FF buddy this morning and he said they were almost overrun multiple times, the speed at which this thing moved shocked everybody involved.

On...

Not it isn't. Our reservoirs are basically full and LA county/city are at 100% full recall of all fire personnel. My buddy is volunteer out of Malibu and they are asking for ex-military/retired/any...

Yup, was over there for the dry/sunny part earlier this week. The funicular was pretty insane, quite the engineering feat! Got up to Grand Motte and lapped that 3 days early in the day before it got...

Update: got into the trees over on far side skiers right of fornet. Got lucky on some spots with thin to little base, key was to just point it as much as possible and float. Trees were tighter than I...

What’s up Bob!

Epic morning at Val D. Gondy delayed as well as a lot of other upper lifts. Got rope drop on terrain under Manchet lift which was incredible. Made way over to le fornet side and got...

My 8yr old sleeps like a hungover teen which is mostly good but is tough for ski trips. Her ski school here starts at 9 and I’m rushing her out the door every morning….

Makes sense. Well on the ground here it started snowing pretty heavily about an hour ago. Will be getting up early tomorrow!

Was over there this morning actually. Going to take a pretty significant dump to firm the base up there. Looks like the Christmas storm was super windy and blew a lot of the snow off the more exposed...

Two days in Val d’isere now. Main runs are great especially in the morning sun but it’s low tide still pretty much everywhere off piste. Love the town so far and trying to not OD on cheese. New storm...

BC condittys seem super sketchy. Hope everyone is playing it safe.

I’m heading to Val d’isere tomorrow afternoon for a week. Will be skiing Tignes and the general area have car will travel. With...

Any firsthand reports? Seeing 100+ cm in the French Alps over the last few days...

Prepare yourself France, I'll be inside you in four days. I'm a man of great appetites, hide yo filles, hide yo épouses and guard your tartiflette with your lives.

Condo rentals during the week are pretty cheap but you could also try Quality Inn or Motel 6, both of which are gonna be kinda shitty but if it's for a night who cares.

Anyone going to be in French alps post Christmas? Will be in Val from 29th to the 5th. Will have car and looking to make the rounds.

Weather wise from their IG page it looks like it's nuking there...

Never intended to keep for 6 years but it just did everything so well. Only gripe is the tank is on the smaller size and a few extra gallons would have been nice, especially when in the mountains or...

Totally. 17% of last year's total before turkey day. Hoping we revert back to the big Decembers of '21 & '22 as a second act...

FKNA!!! Where was that taken from? Feels like we're going from rock skis to the good stuff pretty quick...I'm heading up Friday...

Piggybacking on the fine intro from last year by theFrush in honor of this pre-thanksgiving dump we're getting stuffed with.

Last year's thread:...

Owned this for 6 years, my favorite car I've every owned. White on Tan. 56k miles, great condition. Serviced at local Volvo under warranty and Swedish specialty garage after with all OEM parts. Just...

16 has ben an abject failure since opening. The 50% more uphill capacity in theory has been a ghost. The coral is a clusterfuck and the loading management is a joke. Also the offloading area up top...

Holy shit Saturday was deep as fuck...only woke up to about 8" at the house so was in the "oh cool, some refills from part 1 of the storm!" mode. Got to canyon around 830 and stood in canyon line...

About to make the run up this afternoon, looks like it's cranking all day/night today, hope tomorrow is ridable...anyone else going to be up?

EXTRA spicy. Don't see upper getting back on line till monday/tuesday if this is half what is being forecasted...

What happened on 14 Saturday? Did it break? Heard people were stuck for a while...

Well my scratchy throat turned into flu overnight so I'm out gents. Congrats on what's sure to be an epic weekend....

Having a tough time with regards to this coming weekend...snow for sure but looks stormy and windy too. Not sure I'm going to want to make that drive and spend the $$$ to ski the lower mountain with...

Left at 630am on the dot and made it back to LA in sub-5 hours but felt like we were surfing down a 100' wave...

Town only had like 8 inches but the drive past the airport was sketch and we got...

Crazy day. Got G2 opening from main and was in the first wave. Lapped G2 sticking to MJB, cornice bowl and kept working our way skiers left till noids. Snow up high was a little buffed but super...

Anyone up already with some overnight reports? Rained about 2 inches at my house since late last night here in the flat lands...hoping similar amounts of precipitation up north...

Driving up after...

What a gong show, worse than anything I've seen there in my life....

Looking forward to next weekend, going try and make the run up on Thursday evening after work. Still too far out to get overly...

how wide and how far?

S'up party people, that time of the year again.... Heading up tonight form LA for first laps of the year...

Today looks to be "the day" and I'm worried about the wind situation but whatever, first...

I reached out to our Cham guide Brice via whatsapp when I heard this and he's ok but knew both guides pretty well as one would guess.

I asked if there were any fundraising efforts for the...

Epic pics guys. Was a great long weekend all around...hadn't been up in 4 weeks and the snow back then was bonkers.

Good point on the "*" on some of the upper terrain this year, I skied a bunch...

Holy shit. That's fucking insane....looks like that building got hit by and anti-tank round....

March 22, 2023, Mammoth Lakes, CA – On Wednesday, March 22, 2023, at approximately 09:30am, Val...

What’s happening at Canyon? “Large scale emergency response” per their instagram….

100%. Going to get super close this week even though the totals seem to be revised down a bit...

Driving up on Thursday with the family, should be a nice one!

Saw some IG video this morning of a collapsed parking structure with a bunch of cars in it....looked like some flat-roofed building that could be stand-alone. Sucks...

Thank you for your service Scrabble police.

Howard's new forecast calling for some sort of AR event on deck into next week but it looks like freezing levels could be MUCH higher so the days of...

Exactly this. Things are fucking spicy in town right now. Friend of friend manages dozens of rentals and says she is dealing with everything from broken windows to leaks and busted roofs. Heard a...

Oh for sure, hearing they are starting to truck out snow as well.

Buddy on his way up got turned around about 28 miles away from town on 395. Sounds like a caltrans plow shit the bed and only the...

395 closed from Pearsonville to Independence. 14 pass sounds like nightmare.

As said above I think it’s 100% and probably earlier in the day and possibly even later today/tonight.

Snowed almost a foot overnight here and visibility is shit with pretty gusty winds where I...

It's right below Christmas / China bowl above 5 on the ridge line, one of those boarderline "trails"...

Hit 8th chair on 16 this morning for warmup laps down Acts/Encore which had filled in...

About 6" of ultra light blower so far. Skied till about 2pm and was 8th to last chair on 16 a winds were sustained 30-40+. Driving to Vons had whiteout conditions before dinner but now it's...
