Trolls gonna troll.
Didn't you watch the Tucker interview? He wants Ukraine to come back to mother Russia, and maybe parts of Poland and the Balkans. No big deal.

I got my hands on the new dead bird LiTRIC 40L pack through SAR. We ordered maybe 12 or 15 for people of various sizes (5'2" to 6'8").
•I think they only come in large (at least that's what we...

Wind refill definitely working on the other side of B2B. So much so I set off some spooky avalanches in the secret extra steeps of KT. Less avy prone wind loading spots skied delightfully.

Word on the street was KT was too icy. Uppermountain closed above the funi, I did get off piste to the right below hogs back. Rained at least that high. 1/2" zipper crust. Wind blowing around made...

That's awesome

Backcountry skiing has been nice. Still boney out there. Was nice deep powder Thursday and Friday, but has mostly consolidated down to about 3" of ski pen in my local spot, save some very...

This is a nice site to see what the weather stations are doing. Can get to each weather stations data tables easily. It also has hazards and radar layers.

Skiied high traverse second run this morning- out toward Grouse. Went back and tried to go toward idiots ect. and they were closing it (and lower beaver) at 9am. Did another lap and just made it into...

Would love to put those around. Because it’s true. And to troll my boomer friends [emoji23]

Did you get any tix? PM me with what you need. May be able to help.

I saw Doc Ringnes at my ER visit for staph (post surgery). Seemed like a reasonable guy. Dr. Dodds was my surgeon and was good to me (despite the infection). But my injury was just bones. What's the...

Yeah. Persistent grains can persist for a long time under the right conditions. Forecast calls for cold temps above 7500' into next week. That's not going to help destroy that layer. A couple inches...

Must be a car that got dug out just enough to drive dangerously.

Chalky spring goodness indeed.
Like cream cheese on toast. Very smooth and nice where it did not get skied on Tuesday (rainbuff!), a little crusty down lower. No lines when I showed up at 10. Snow...

If there is a decent earthquake things could "fall down go boom" in a big way. Get out before it really starts shaking. The building code for earthquakes has you design for the weight of the building...

Regarding dynamic forces: Columns/posts can be stable even when over loaded, but that slight sideways force can cause a buckling failure. Worse the taller the column. These happen fast. Houses are...

Old ATT building on Lake Forrest in TC collapsed this weekend.
If the skiing is wet, at least I can look at building carnage.

For the projects I've engineered in El dorado county I have found the county prescribed snow loads to be slightly lower than in Placer. In Tahoma for example, on the Placer county side at lake level...

Hole-ie fk. Boots on at 230am, load chair at 3. Boots off at 615pm. I'm worked. But the race happened. Tomorrow is another day.

Well... Indications point toward lots more work and Saturday may not happen.

Groomers put the snow in windrows like that so that the snow will harden up, both from the working of the snow and then giving it more surface area to absorb the atmospheres energy. Then the groomer...

Good to know. I did know Palisades applied for the permits to run it again a month or two back, so it's about time the county gets around to approving that. Too bad it's not on weekdays also, oh...

Yeah, I can picture it. It's simple. The solution is just -no cars- a la Zermatt, it only needs to be during peak season at this point. If you are rich enough you can walk your ass down from your...

Mammoth Mountain, closed for hamburgers and freeride events. Just wait till they build that gondola to Palisades with a restaurant in each cabin. Concessions will go through the roof!

NA skiers need to travel to yurp twice now, so that's expensive. But I guess better than canceling the stop.
