Skinned to the top of Excelsior on Sunday from the end of the plowing in Lundy. About a mile of pavement walking each way. Found winter snow in the NE shot off the top, and corn thinly overlaid with...

Yeah, I really want to ski up to Glacier Point, but would prefer to hit it during the week, and that seems problematic for getting a nice surface. Hopefully the stars eventually align.

While I’m sure everyone is frothing hard over all this snow, keep in mind that on top of the historic snowfall up here (with historic slides already going off), the west ends of our counties are...

old goat, I also remember a midweek+ product at some point over the last two decades that was Sunday through Fridays. I think stripping Saturday access (particularly from Xmas until March) off of the...

Also a reservoir where the really determined lost skiers from Alpine and parts of Olympic Valley funnel to when they keep going and going after inadvertently leaving the resort boundaries to the west...

MTT’s hot takes are the absolute worst. You miss the part where we were about 15 minutes from having yet another roaring wildfire in Truckee on Monday?

Disc Golfers almost started a fire in Blairsden (Graeagle) at the Brewing Lair two days ago…

I just leave purple air on the default settings. I generally find that:
0-100: ok for just about anything
100-150: dial down any intensity, dog walking, etc.
150-200: sit on porch drinking beer,...

Pretty sure you only get credit for what you paid for your 20/21, can't use that credit until 4/19, and it's not a renewal. I'm in the same boat, so definitely correct me if I'm wrong.

Just got off a zoom where a Renown ER doc lied to his entire SAR team about the parking garage beds currently being in use to further the liberal hoax. Good thing we've got truthsayers like MTT...

A new fire's blazing up out by Loon Lake. If there's a bright side, a lot of that area burned in 2014's King Fire, and there's a lot of granite between there and Tahoe, but still disconcerting...

I imagine the council members are making room for all the internet heroes out there who have it all figured out. Between Nextdoor and The Facebook community groups, there are clearly a bevy of...

I'm legitimately curious how other lodges are handling it. Are you seeing other outfits where you can book for this coming winter, and if the border doesn't happen to be open at the time of your...

I don't know, what else can they really do regarding the border and the upcoming season? If we cancel/roll to the next winter by September 1st, they probably have a good chance of filling the lodge,...

^ just read that exact article prior to posting. Even if the border is "open", hard to imagine there wouldn't be some serious quarantine requirements upon arrival in Canada. Hard to see a scenario...

Our group heard from GAH this week. Due to the pandemic/border uncertainty, they gave us the option to roll the deposit to the following winter (which in our case would involve a different lodge) or...

Looks like they’re lifting the Shasta closure order on Saturday. They’re reporting 1/4 mile of dirt from Bunny Flat. No update on Lassen, but they reported 66% of normal snowpack at the beginning...

In the same boat as Lee for next February. Lodge/guide(s)/cook reserved. In our favor, we have the entire lodge for our group, but when I step back and think about it, there are a lot of potential...

Guy broke his leg on March 18, Statewide shelter-in-place order was announced the evening of March 19. It just makes my blood boil that this guy didn't have a crystal ball to forsee that.

It does, I just figured out how to use it today!

While there's plenty not to like about Northstar, back maybe 15 years ago (when you could still ski to your free parking spot) I had a pass there for a year or two as well as my Alpine pass. If it...

If I were Vail, I'd refund his pass, ban him permanently, and call it a day. Am I entitled to a refund on my season pass if they change the price on the $20 hot chocolates mid season?

His shops (and website) do pre-date Backcountry.com. Would love to see him take them on... Regardless, I'm done with backcountry.com...

Well, in this particular instance, we've gotten a ton of snow over the last few days, it dumped a ton last night, was blowing over 100mph last night, and it's still pounding with 70mph gusts over the...

Definitely some truth to this. While not completely unemployed during the recession, I was definitely under-employed. If it snowed, there was zero reason to hurry to the office. I will say that...

The deep slab issue is definitely disconcerting. It has certainly affected my choices. Pretty uncommon around here to still see a "considerable" rating three days after the last snow fell,...

Did the Surprise Pass tour out of Lake Louise last Friday. Conditions were surprisingly good!

Ha! Got back Saturday night. Nice to come back to some actual snow. Did a similar trip to Canada the same week 3 years ago and got all of 2 days the rest of the season in Tahoe. I should have...

That's me, started following you from the Tahoe thread. Looks like we were up in Canada at the same time. Good trip, but colder than I've experienced in awhile...

Just concluded a great week based out of Golden. 1 day lift served KHorse, 2 days KHorse accessed backcountry, 2 days Rogers Pass, 1 day Lake Louise backcountry (I know, wrong thread). Way colder...

Fun little weekend of touring, got out Friday morning and yesterday mid-day. Pleasant turns during both sessions without a single rock whack. Every user group was all smiles. Looks like it's...

^ believe it or not, there was a time in the not-so-distant past when the Cal-Neva held North Lake live music events and the Crystal Bay Club was a run-down, depressing place. Inept managment since...

Ha! Heard about your car alarm, but we were already on our way up due to the dog that started barking at 5:10am at our end of the parking lot. We were the two on the skier's left line (only 1...

Descended the NE face of Lassen at about 10am on Saturday and it skied great. Wouldn't have wanted to be much later, curious how it held up as the day went on. So much more snow than I've ever...

Oh come on, it's an easy straightline: https://www.instagram.com/p/BTmjsVYgDkE/?taken-by=o_leeps

Good kid stoke! That "mini-tour" is a major accomplishment for the majority of the adults who tackle it, much less a youth on Alpine Day Wreckers...

Skinned from the car at 7250' and 7500'...

^ Pretty sure Northstar was a better choice than Squawlpine on Monday...

Looks like we're actually at the beginning of a corn cycle, almost forgot what those are like...

If only they had the same visionary owners as their neighbors to the south with the open boundary policy...

Dawn patrol to Blow Town delivered this morning!

That fat old sun is a lot stronger than it was 2 months ago, get it while the gettin's good!

Tends to be an issue with houses that aren't being used all winter, so the driveway isn't plowed. Snow creep cracks the propane line, then once you get some freeze thaw action in the snow pack, it...

I've done structural design in the area since 2000. As has been stated, red flags are doors not opening, cracking drywall, dripping water from the ceiling from ice dams. Most permitted construction...

It was it's usual semi-sketch downclimb (depending on how risk averse you are) through that rock notch. Liked your skinner, all business and to the point!

No crust, but a lot of wind affect. You could definitely have found way better snow in the Tahoe area today, but it's a line we hadn't done in years (or ever for some in our group). Thanks for the...

When was your place built? If it was pre 82/82 I wouldn't let it stack up much more than that before taking the shovel to it. If it was constructed after that, building codes were enforced a little...

Was just going to post about those wind speeds. Remote sensors at the top of Alpine and Squaw in agreeement of +/- 175mph gusts.

SchralphMacchio, that area on Jakes is where the skin track...

Big props to that couple for writing up a report. I definitely try to do the same with any incidents I'm involved in, nothing like a sting to the ego to help you make better decisions moving...
