Another vote for Dr. A. When my son injured his shoulder playing baseball in high school he sought out two opinions. 1st guy looked at X ray and wanted to schedule surgery asap. Dr. A looked at same...

Freeze thaw has nothing to do with it. Check out: news.mit.edu/2023/roman-concrete-durability-lime-casts-0106
Always fun to see Tahoe BC and Powdork setting the stoke!

Visited Italy last month, went to the Pantheon. It has the oldest non reinforced concrete dome in the world and it’s over 2000 years old. Apparently the Roman’s figured out a way to make self sealing...

@BioSmear - don’t know jack about where to mount Meidjo on those skis, but Meidjo versions 2.1 and 3 were changed slightly to make sure they didn’t pull out. Some deep knee benders experienced pull...

@deschane I too like the way Lynx skis although I prefer the softer flex of V1. Plus it’s nice to have binding options, everyone has to up their game to stay competitive and hopefully the result is...

@Vonn - I would look for Voile Switchback bindings, old or new fairly inexpensive, durable & easy to use. For new boots Scarpa T2 Eco or for used same, or old Garmont Enrgy if in good shape. Tons of...

I’ve tried hard for 3 years to like Lynx, but “Light and robust” hasn’t been my experience. Tech toes that can only be skied in locked position (because they release, replaced them), springs that...

According to Tahoe Daily Tribune.

Just heard that Palisades opening Fri Oct 29?

PD’s Kirkwood link to cams is sweet, still snowing!

For a guy with a bum knee you sure get after it! Way to kick off the new season!

Any update on Fogey, missing while hiking?

WUD - if you don’t mind, what type of boot binding is that on the tele set up? Great TR & Thanks

Heal fast, will miss your trip reports.

Tahoe BC - did you get the whole slide in your GoPro? Dang that one photo is scary.

Judging from the rain on the Peninsula in the Bay Area, it seems tonight might be a good snow producer at Tahoe. Much more rain than weather folks predicted this morning. A bit windy though.

@mitano - My ancestors were in the Tahoe area in the 1860’s, bunches of them buried in Virginia City. Still have lots of relatives in Tahoe, Washoe area and one cousin still owns our old family home...

@mitano - we run in Edgewood Park all the time, usually access by Edgewood/Canada. We live up the hill right off Crestview.

@emcee - San Carlos which is approx. 1/2 way between SF and SJ.

337683Looks like the apocalypse.

337682Santa Cruz/Pescadero fires from Silicon Valley side. No surfing for me today either.

Wow Powdork, that really looks uncomfortable. Hope your recovery goes well.

And then there is the story in the TDT about the dance party on Spooner Summit, organized by a group called Emerald Bass out of South Lake Tahoe. Pick your poison, asshole tourists or dumb shit...

US Covid cases now higher than the next three countries combined. Amazing to read or hear about people with opinions like Joshua in their feeble attempt to justify their selfishness.

Keeping in line with the tourists are assholes theme, one of my favorites is the guy from Truckee (Leif Johansen) who flew to Hawaii in May and immediately violated quarantine. He was seen on a...

I had an Epic Pass and a Homewood Pass last past season. Thinking about doing the same again except I’m not feeling confident that their lifts will run all season, like this year. Almost surprised...

Two years ago during a storm at SL Tahoe I was getting some groceries and noticed a guy fiddling with a Thule or like box on an ML 320 near Safeway. Suddenly he jumped up, climbed in and pulled down...

All this snow must be too much for Kirkwood, they are closed.

If the Bay is not happening you might try Rock Quarry. They can direct you at Hanalei Surf.

DJSapp - plenty of rentals in Hanalei, just park your car and visit Hanalei Surf, Backdoor etc. Just as you enter town next to TahitiNui is a surf rental shop. No rentals in Haena. No need to rent in...

I'm in Kauai - if it's big in Hanalei stay near the pier. If not, Middles and Waikoko's can be awesome and fun.
