$150 is a cover their ass price to cover the chance they owe you new sticks after messing them up. I wouldn't recommend asking a shop to do inserts unless they have done them before, or their best...

I’m not kidding, bar of soap in your pocket. Rub down at bottom or top of each lift run. And only ski the steepest stuff possible.

Also, no one in Tahoe tells you what discount end of season is in inventory at all the local shops, compared to Montana and Wyoming where everyone knows what shell sizes are in stock at which shops....

"The kind of infrastructure demand generated by this project is really going to alleviate traffic congestion and other environmental issues associated with the existing Highway 89 corridor....

Wow, that really opens the door for Alterra West to hire Scott Pruitt, I think he’s the one guy who can take their greenwashing to an entirely new level!

That's the Killebrew return traverse to Mott Chair, right? If so, good on them for keeping it open as long as possible.

Too bad it's all gonna wash away tonight ;)

Thanks T, I miss me some Sisters/Round Top. BC skiing in my neck of the woods is a bit limited without a sled, or a willingness to skin 5-6 miles of approach/exit.

Thin cover on Corrie Lochane...

For adults (because this won't help Ottime wanting to ski with his kid past April 8), I wonder what KW's parking patrol policy is gonna be for uphill skiers after closing.

Last season in May the...

Road carnage everywhere! Stuck on 80 at Sugar Bowl exit right now.

Sweet! I'm glad it was figuratively so and not literally so ... say good things to ski patrollers today and tomorrow and stay safe!

Just chiming in to recommend conservative decisions over the...

Scott didn’t rip? Has got to be snorkel deep. Be safe and keep your head above snow!!!! #snorkeldeep

There was a natural with 4’ crown and several hundred feet track posted to SAC from 8400’ from Trim ... probably went Friday?

Glad to see everyone getting goods this weekend finally ...

Just remember to skin like you are in CO. DPS is no joke and the first sign of instability you see might be the whoomph sound made by...

I fly 100k domestic / year ... company doesn’t pay for offsets. That’s more than a wee drop.

The sad part about all that flying on the company dollar is, you get rewarded with more miles for your...

It’s no better up here ... I’m off to Whistler in 2 weeks.

Thing is, all this flying ... makes the rare goods even more volatile ...

Maybe he meant, “Incongruence with SAC! Didn’t notice any weak layers ...”

That said, the bulletin indicated that triggering was possible, not likely. Another way of saying “signs of instability”...

You sad depressed Tahoe skiers should come visit me in Oregon and slay the off piste gnar, We will for sure not have MLK traffic.

Here is a recent webcam photo taken before today’s (rainy)...

Corn and slush to ring in the new year in Tahoe? Wow, I’m feeling for you guys.

Things aren’t that much better up here ... no real snow on Willamette and Santiam Passes, and Friday it rained...

I hope you TaHoes saw some good meteors last night!

I went outside at 8PM and saw about 5-6 over 10 minutes, but we had some thin fog and stratospheric clouds filtering things out, and also more...

I think 26.5 is generally around 305 to 310mm for more alpine oriented boots, closer to 290mm for pure AT tech boots.

I forgot to mention that Oregon is so crappy that our football coaches leave after less than 1 year and making millions of dollars, seriously, stay in Cali!



Crappy guest room and crappy couch,...

It's a good deal for fun endless intermediate angle pow skiing, envision 2500' vert of like the backside of Northstar. No steeps or rad stuff, just a giant low angle volcano. No...

WOW. That map shows the top of Dangberg literally coming up to the resort boundary.
