Everyone says that Ward and Sons is the best. But can’t speak from experience.
I do agree that the Auto Doctor can be expensive. For example: subaru dealership wanted $350 to replace plugs. Auto...

As I read this, I got the alert that squaw and alpine parking lots are full at 10:30am

Rolled up on Walter White after mountain biking today in truckee. Trails were in great shape. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180118/198b0e61666465e2e477f59694a2096f.png

I had a full yard sale on Hwy 28 near sand harbor a few weeks ago. It was my worst crash of the year.

Looks incredible down there! Nice work.

Stoke-
Views are good. Snow was shit. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170130/3f05e955ddced798e5e679041c190cd2.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170130/de17586b287f84d87374c5cb82267b85.jpg

Not quite Skier666, but here's some stoke from Andesite, Cold Stream and Sugar Bowl. https://vimeo.com/200614378

Pinner Couloir near convict lake.

I'm bored. Watching in rain..........
Some footage from last year.......BC, West Shore, Mammoth Area and North Lake.

5800ft in glenshire is all snow. 192936

So this happened twice in one weekend at the new neighborhood pool this summer. Were you the culprit?

Speaking of bikes......SPAM: if anyone in the basin is looking for a decent ride, I'm selling my 2012 Specialized Enduro size Large. PM for details.....Sold.

Yes!!!! Haven't hit Boo Boo's yet this year. I guess they've kept the gate closed on barker pass because of idiots getting stuck in the mud and water. Looks like a good adventure.

I never come from the bottom....."that's what she said". I always take the fire road. Otherwise there's the possibility of a major head-on collision on the trail.

Where did you find this.......yogi? I've heard it's clear now.

Yum! Unfortunately the snow on the west shore was the complete opposite this morning........at least where I was. Garbage.

East Facing Chutes on No Name in Laurel Canyon - Thursday 2/25. 177516

Things corned up today around noon on south aspects. But we went or some wind board and soft snow. 177281

And a view of bloody.

Alpine was pretty busy also. Summit chair line took a while.

Not that this will help, but I have a compression tester in Truckee. You can buy them for about $35. Does it stall out when you engage the auger? Might start with some new plugs.

I'm in tahoe. Usually head out there for a weekend each year. usually someone on here can provide recent beta. The Heli ski operation may also provide info on conditions.
Access to TC and the...

Yes. Typically skin up from timber creek to Martins Point. Pits are dug on the backside of MP, and companion rescue is simulated on the ski down. Things may have changed since Vail took over, and...

Andeh- Carson Pass. Sorry for the confusion.

Props to Dave at CFR. I ordered a mountain rack with dual ski bracket and it got to CA in 10 days. They even through the ski bracket on before shipping. 172269

Castle is pretty bare unless you head to the backside with north facing stuff. Lots of mud on the road heading out right now. Things may improve by Friday. Based on current conditions today, CP is...

Yeah, that's a bummer. Was hoping to see more terrain open at Squaw/Alpine for this coming week. Temps should be good for snowmaking.

Ugh. 4" at the north end of the lake. Have fun out there!

I see a dusting on Relay. Yummy.

Flew over yesterday from salt lake. They got. Nice white coating. Up high looked ok, but access will be an issue

Nothing exciting from me at squaw today, but some people were getting after it. Lines were pretty long with several lift issues throughout the day.

We used sleds for access the weekend of March 6.........and the road was burning off. I'm confident that you should bring your mountain bike.

We decided it wasn't worth it to climb the rocks and dirt.....and the traverse to Green Creek would have been just as dry. 165511

Green Creek Couloir......165504165505
The suffer-fest to get to snow was miserable.

Wow......awesome!

Well put! Considering we are still "base building" in mid March.

"Wind fuckage".......I've yet to hear that verbiage.......and I like it.

Thanks Mike. Dry pavement past the gates is no good. Even with sleds in tow.

Anyone have recent beta on conditions?

Got to spend a few days at Big Sky for the first time. You have a great mountain, and I enjoy the way that Patrol runs things off the tram. Spent most of the time lapping the tram, and one day...

Finally snowing in Glenshire at the house. Good thing I paid for snow removal this year. 164580

If you can turn this rain into snow.......you can be whatever you want!

Couple of hot laps on Shirley from Saturday morning before things went to shit.

Not really tahoe related.....but went to the Ruby Mtns a few weeks ago. Maybe this will lighten the mood in here.
