They're just making boarderoy.

This is the right take. Nothing makes me eye roll harder than watching a reasonably athletic but largely inexperienced group of dudes (always dudes. Often on a snowboard) butt-slide into something...

FIFY

A few years ago at a ski-themed school fundraiser my wife put her hair in pigtails, tied an oversized baby Yoda stuffy to her butt and two normal sized ones to her knees. Everyone got the joke,...

Man the snow turned manky so fast after a nice cycle of cold pow, you'd think it was April not early Feb.

Good steep-skiing snow though. Got the kiddos down Notch Chute for the first time, with...

BA is finally admitting this storm is real, and Alkasquawlic (sp?) is posting memes about it on Threads. When those two get on the hype train, it's about to leave the station.

New Sierra resorts are my favorite topic.

North Lake:

Just expand Sugar Bowl. Turn Soda Springs/Norden into a high-density, Euro-style ski village with thousands of beds, shopping, and public...

I just don't get it. Utah has had a highly functional bus system in LCC for decades. This is not that hard.

You need to build a few large parking lots just off 80 in the north and the 50/89...

Kirkwood dadski on Saturday PM featured excellent free refills in Pali and Wagon Wheel zones until patrol shut them down. Also featured excellent facial hair icing by many participants.

Sunday...

Zone under Funnel off the Cornice was choice today (and wasn't bad yesterday either). Nice little ski day at the Wood!

My dear old dad bought his first dirt bike well into his 70's.

A man is only old once his regrets outnumber his dreams.

Low tide December
Grinding granite like park rails
Not caring is fun

We ran into Ottime at KW today (for the first time in years) and my first thought was, "shouldn't you be surfing?"

Fun skiing today. 1" of fresh + wind loading + afternoon sun made for a few soft...

Wen Chair Ten?

Agreed - Mine was >1 cm displaced and comminuted (sp?) and my ortho told me to let it ride. It looks funny but my right shoulder is actually stronger than it was before the break. Hope you feel...

Yes KW seems to have changed over on the webcam relatively early this morning, and was sticking to trees at around pole #2 on chair 5 by around 11. I'm guessing they actually end up with quite a...

Reno based colleague said he heard it was snowing at Rose. KW summit is just as high, so either it's snowing there too, he is wrong, or God hates me.

Webcam unclear.

I cannot imagine straightlining the headwall in Tucks....let alone strapped directly onto wooden skis.

Cojones.

Also, that footage may be the least bad conditions in the history of Tucks.

This is cool. And open source, Yea? I'm too lazy to research and ignorant to know, but does that mean that someone could just build a for-profit company on top of it for free and compete with those...

Science

Agreed. I haven't been back to HOPR since writing this, bc I no longer live 2 blocks away and am cheap and lazy.

I think it's time for either a date night with the lady or a boys night out with...

Rad - found a cheap pair of Squire 11's for the same px as a kids binding, so I don't have to hang my head in hidden shame whenever I see my significant other.

many thanks!

Hi - I'm buying new skis for my wife, who has recently upped her ski game enough to warrant buying some new ones. My question is, given that she is petite and skis on a 4.5 DIN, would I be costing...

Seconded...my birthday hangover and opaque goggles notwithstanding.

Eagle Bowl and Waterfall were both in great shape, as was Chammy/Oops early in the day.

That looks amazing. Its a great line!

Only for those of us who knew what to look for :). It was good meeting you on the ridge today. We got two lovely hard pack runs because we were freaked out from the SAC forecast and assumed every...

I could have sworn KW did at least Memorial Day in 2017?

So in past years of this magnitude, Kirkwood and the Resort Formerly Known As would reopen for Memorial Day and July 4 skiing.

As it stands, PTOV is confirmed open for Memorial Day but KW is only...

I had the distinct pleasure of peeing into Twice is Nice yesterday (not trying to mark territory - it was the only place I could go during the 80-mph wind gusts without it landing on my pants or a...

Re: STR data. I don't have data off hand, but it does exist. What I do know is that there is no STR version of Invitation Homes or equivalent (publicly traded REIT with 80k single family homes).
...

Somehow TGR has actually pretty thoughtful discourse on housing policy :)

1) Almost all of the short term rentals (STR) in Tahoe (and everywhere else) are owned by individual investors. The...

No idea how to upload photos on here. Maybe DM me and I'll text one? I'm selling a navy blue L Patagonia shell. Skied with it a few seasons but still in very good condition. Just had the main zipper...

I have a group of 4 or 5 in Scotland for a few days in May. We are going to be flying into Glasgow and making our way west to Islay to drink scotch. I'm the only mtber, but the others are all...

Wind effects have been weird this year. As much snow as we've had, Heart, Upper Chamois, and some of the other big lines really have not filled in at all. Even Once still has a little wiggle in it....

Kirkwood was decidedly mediocre today in the snow dept, and Lower Cirque was closed for a comp. Still fun to be had on Norma's and Wall-to-Waterfall.

My guy has "opening day" tomorrow, which is indoors and terrible, and then a game, which will undoubtedly be cancelled.

Skiing the wood this afternoon after my last meeting and then coming home.

As far as I know, the only two trail signs at Kirkwood are Trench of Terror and Ditch of Doom for the kiddos. Been skiing there almost 20 yrs and have no idea what the actual names of the runs...

Ok this is getting serious now. El Diablo is gonna get another 6-12+ by Wednesday, and there's already a bunch of base on the ground. I'm seriously thinking of doing this with a headlamp on Thursday...

I can't figure out how to post photos on my Pixel phone, but Schalph, you could have skinned out of your door to ski if you still lived in the OAK on Friday.

Tilden looked like it got a good 6...

Kirkwood was a lot of fun today. I was pretty bummed this AM when the temp shot up, in direct opposition to the forecast, but it skied well, especially where untracked. All The Way to Waterfall was...

Had anyone mentioned the place in Denver that uses Everclear and limits you to 3 all night yet? (Too lazy to read thread).

Promo is a little side entrance lookers right of Cali Chute, that drops you into the Cali Chute apron after a choke.

Skiers right of Sally is indeed filled in. Was just a tad too cold for corn...

Skied Promo Chute and Sally Alley this weekend. Spoke to another mag who said he calls Sally Alley "Turkey Chute" (Shoot?). Yet another said he calls it Corner Pocket, which we always call the wide...

Pipeline is completely filled in. The big rock in the crux is gone. Still scary though bc of the hard windpack from the 190 mph E wind - made the whole thing a no fall zone. Scot Schmidt jump turns...

In that case, I guess I'll just keep up my usual regimen!

Cody - Q for u: What do you do to stay in shape for these massive days? Were you naturally gifted with a Secretariat-sized cardiovascular system, or is there a whole lotta pumping ze iron happening...

Apropos of this, we were having a great debate the other day about whether we skied pipeline or stovepipe. It turned out, it was pipeline, per internet information posted by skier666 10 years ago.

Sheika is his daughter.

This season has been particularly unkind to those of us on the Bay Area kidgnar schedule. All that midweek stoke, ripped to shreds by 190 mph ridgetop wind gusts by the time I get there for Saturday...

So when you are driving West on 88 from Kirkwood and get to Silver Lake, you start climbing. Look out your driver side window and you'll see about 700 vert of north facing chutes (facing you) down to...
