If the default is closed then being open is the exception.

I also skied Silverado a bunch yesterday. Why were gates 4,5,6 closed? Best snow was out of the gate 8 shaded area. Those chutes...

Siverado was awesome today. Got heavy towards the bottom but great sleeper silvi day. Longest wait was 5min in singles line.

Saw 2 kids cliffed out on China wall. Hope they made out down...

I worked at high camp in the 90s. I have probably done more runs in silvi than anywhere else on that mountain. Back then it ran all the time, So sad that is has become just a marketing tool and...

Don’t worry, some of the best California skiing is warm spring conditions. On those really warm days I’ll switch skis at lunch depending on how soft the snow gets. Could be Windbuff while you...

I cleaned this car off yesterday. And there is a snowmobile in this picture. I love big dumps.

I would say the storm has definitely delivered, a day late for the old school snow totals, and last night was windy AF gust of 50 my gage said. so the drifts are chest deep in spots.

Time for Hookie bobbin…

I always buy a light that has a red lamp option. Red doesn't reflect back at you while it's a dumping blizzard. Some vision is better than none.

Got a mid morning start today. Snow was changing fast, Getting heavier and heavier Anything with sun exposure was baked by noon at the 7000 ft level. I am sure the skiing...

I just got some 191- 102’s and the radius on those is 22m. I only have 2 days on them so far this season. It feels like they are on auto-turn, it’s awesome.
No wonder Odermatt skis on Stockli.

Keep 80 closed…. Skiing was good today, the shaded zones held nice carving snow, my new stormrider 102’s ate that snow up.

Also I just watched Odermatt win last week Bulgaria. Getting...

The app says Silverado is on the schedule tomorrow... any updates on this super secret zone? It's not like them to not make a promo video before opening.

Man people are bitter in this thread. Someone post some actual stoke and you tell them to keep it a secret. ‘Don’t talk about skiing’. Should have been the title of this years thread.

Second, on the better vibes. Much more stoke. I can't wait to come back (maybe in march). The force is strong in the TGR flag ship.

I concur those guys always hook up the locals. And they have the best ski selection in town.

Silvy is permanently closed. No plans to fix the lift, just like the high camp pool or anything else that invokes the good times memories of Alex.

I also heard a terrible rumor on the chair...

Spent all morning on Granite Chief It was about boot deep and silky smooth up there. The lighter snow on top of that heavy Sunday snow was the perfect combination. Lots of hucking going on and...

Do you guys have paid parking reservations yet? I'll bet you do after this...

So far the winds don’t seem that bad. But with snowfall rates this high the steeps will have a rapidly rising avalanche danger and I predict they keep open area to a manageable area that they feel...

Just ran the snowblower at my house. Nice and light snow, still dumping, probably 8” in the last 6hr @ 6400. Going to be very good tomorrow.

For how full the parking lot was when I showed up it didn’t seem bad on the hill. Then I went to refill my water at Gold Coast and realized where all the people were hiding. It was great storm...

485234 thats lots of cred right there.

I’ll be back tomorrow to ask how that 21” worked out. I have partly sunny at my house near the crest. I don’t see another 12-18 happening before I boot up tomorrow. I hope I am wrong.

BA is just a hype machine. He works and writes the lying blogs for PT. I know everyone needs to make money somehow but signing up to be a corporate mouthpiece doesn't equal unbiased to me. All...

Love these skis, but I would have to remount because of giant feet. And why is everyone so proud of skis with multiple mounts.

I’ll ski with anyone, If they can keep up.

Wow skiing was so corny today. The east face and even an early sun bowl were very smooth. Then found some soft moguls in the high traffic areas of sibo. Good in the funnel as well. ...

Sunstone, I am sure glad this never materialized. I am sure that pacific crest snowcats is in the same boat. But they had plans for a train stop...

Subscription models are a problem with society. Good for stock prices though. Instead of pay as you go. You pay for the right to go. Then pay again while using. I have no streaming...

I know it's the controversial position to take. But I think north Lake Tahoe could use another ski resort. Perhaps something north of 80 to keep people off 89. The last permitted new ski resort...

They opened the palisades today. I hiked granite peak first thing and found soft turns and cold snow. Mainline also skied good. I even came down tower 16 before it got too soft. Great...

A park and ride that runs on a 15min schedule is all it would take for me.

“Skiing is the easy part Karl.”

I will concede that the on mountain experience is fairly good once you get there most of the time. But doesn’t change the fact that it is tough to get to Olympic valley without a car. Donner state...

I just got back from 10 days skiing in Jackson. Coming home is sometime depressing, Other ski towns have good bus systems and other resources for locals, such and free groomed xc trails and...

Huck for the win. I love when the thread has real action photos. Seams like the single frame shot is a diminishing art. Video, POV, has be come the norm. Sometimes I don’t want to watch...

I am in line at tram. Bright blue and yellow hat, on hoji's.

Storm skiing is the best. Had a killer day out there today. New trail openings were still happening late in the day. It’s feels good to be tired after a day like that.

Still pays to get up early. Even if you have to pay for the right to do so.

[emoji472]

I’ll be at the fireplace. Orange skis with bright yellow hat.

Just rolled in to town. I will be ripping up your mountains for the next week or so, mostly village and the ghee once or twice if I can swing it. Anyone PM if you want to ski, my ski partner...

Ya I am coming with the same program as last time. So I won’t really know what my tix situation will be until after the group checks in. But I should have something workable.

I assume...

Anyone interested in trading jackson hole ski tix for grand targhee ski. I'll be coming out for a work/ski trip soon and I would love to get to that side of the hill.

Scented dryer sheets seem to keep them away.

Placer county is going to help palisades enforce parking.

Lockdown on all Tahoe parking begins.

I am fine with all...

I WTB some sth2 100mm.

I see him occasionally, He finds all the best dive bars in Mexico these days. These USA places are too soft for him.

I agree, the open hike to terrain has been good in comparison with the rest of the offerings.
