That's good to hear, so north facing stuff on Thunder was firm in the morning and didn't soften until the afternoon?

I'm trying to figure out the best window for San Gorgonio in the next few weeks. Socalsnow's latest post makes it sound like everything is soft and not refreezing overnight but noaa temperature...

Highly recommend the ebike setup for this purpose, saving the legs for the main event is worthwhile. DIY ebike conversions are pretty easy, here is one a put together from a Chinese kit and a...

Went for a little walk in the woods around the Mammoth lakes basin this weekend on my non-tour Wildcat 108’s and realized the BD skins really didn’t like staying put on the squared off Moment tips.
...

Anyone get out that way in the past week, got beta on snow level?

I also don’t have a partner for this mission as my regulars are out of town.


Any interest in an encore to San Gorgonio this...

I am trying to get tick San Gorgonio off my list this spring but my weekends are booked with bullshit I can’t bail on (friends weddings etc).

My best shot is probably Friday the 28th but I’m...

One comment on Baldy's instagram seems to say they were able to get up there early enough and ski today. Commenter says they made it to "the entrance line around 7ish. Everyone that was there around...

Thanks for the beta, I was just about to pull the trigger on a ticket for tomorrow. I guess it is typical Baldy that it could either be the first day open post-storm or a complete dud due to road...

Looking towards some spring targets…

What a monster, if we're lucky it buried the choke and extended the lowest skiable elevation a bit

I won’t be able to ski Baldy midweek after the storm, but I am thinking about touring options the first weekend of March. The low snow levels mean San Gorgonio could be skinning from the car instead...

This week I’m headed up to Canada for 10 days of powder highway road trippin so here’s hoping my absence brings snow to the Sierras

fuckin LOL at all the people whining that Powder must have died because they took a stance on climate change ffs

you all must be old enough you think your skiing won't be impacted

I was thinking the same thing. Going to Mammoth anyway, would like to get a tour in while I'm up there but if all the approaches are suncup death like that... yikes.

Where exactly are we getting this info that this stuff *requires* a base grind every ~30 ski days to maintain effectiveness? It sounds like that's an interpretation based on the promo email that went...

Thinking the storm + crowds combo at Mammoth will be a deal breaker this weekend, maybe Baldy is worth a visit Sat/Sun depending on weather? Looks like the bottom of chair 1 has melted out since the...

I have a couple friends who were up there yesterday initially with plans to ski the bowl, but they turned back when conditions on the backbone were too corniced and sketchy. Short instagram clip from...

Thanks for those coverage pics! Juevos doesn't look like that often, but I don't think I've ever seen that cliff under 22 so completely covered. Balls is looking smaller too! Is Varmit's Nest covered?

So did anyone here get to Baldy this weekend? They reported the same new snow out of last week as Big Bear did (about 2 feet) which seems odd to me but whatever.

Agreeing with this. Got one last season and it's been great so far, no complaints.

*bump*

still looking to unload these, hopefully someone claims them by the fall

I need to get rid of these skis, they've been sitting around for a couple years and I"m moving so it's time to clean house. I used them for racing GS and SL in a college club league. They'd be...

The ONLY problem with Henrik's second run was a less-than-perfect last landing. He stomped everything else, and the nose-butter triple was huge. He probably should have been on the podium but the...

12 opened yesterday and had some good snow. Parts of Drop Out were good when the top opened. 4 and 10 opened yesterday as well and they were blowing snow on Solitude in anticipation of opening 5,...

I have the same setup and agree with all of this.

In particular I like the venting on the helmet and how adjustable it is. Two vent zones split into front/back, and each can be fully/half open or...

^^^ or perhaps an AOL chat-room from 1997?


This thread sure is making the Mammoth scene look fantastic...

I'm jonesing hard enough to make the drive just for groomers and some park laps, but I don't want to do that if it's just 4 crowded runs into Main.

So they're claiming 4-6 last night and expecting another 4-6 tonight.

That ought to be enough to spin a few more lifts this weekend right? It'd be nice to at least get chair 2, and maybe 10 & 5...

Wait and see which has more snow in March, then go there.

It is still extremely difficult to make accurate, specific predictions more than about this far into the future.

Regardless of what you can learn about the near-term, just keep that in mind.

dibs on magnum pants, pm sent

I'm looking for a driving partner for any part of this marathon.

I'll be leaving San Diego either the evening of the 19th or morning of the 20th, arriving in Jackson by the night of the 20th.
...

No. McCourt's net worth when he bought the team was barely positive. He bought it all on credit. The current ownership group controls something like $120 Billion in assets. It is nothing like...

Looks like the forecast for Monday/Tuesday has been dialed back a bit. I'm still thinking of heading up Monday night to ski Tues/Wed, since I can't go next weekend.

oooohhhhhhgod

jeezus, maybe put a NSFW tag in the subject or something, that's pretty brutal.

Patrol site data is reporting 12" new today, making me real tempted to drive up Thursday night.

The plot you quoted shows concentrations dropping to under 5 ng/mL (the legal limit set by the new law) at 2 hours.

i.e. for most people, 2-3 hours after is long enough to not get a DUI.

edit:...

The provision in Washington explicitly states 5 ng/mL of THC, not THC-COOH which is the metabolite that stays in your system for hours/days. THC proper is only in the blood stream for a few hours. ...

Baldy is honestly too unpredictable to warrant a pass, particularly when they do those discounted Sport Chalet or REI tickets.

One of my favorite things about TGR is all the maggot stoke and these days that often takes the form of video, be it PoV or otherwise. A lot of this video is posted on YouTube, but it seems like...

meh, it's tight but I've never had trouble fitting stuff up to about 190. The car easily holds 2 people plus exorbitant amounts of gear, or 3 people and reasonably all their gear, or 4 people and...

I got a wrx explicitly to avoid dealing with racks and roof-top boxes, I thought that was kinda the point of a hatchback. :confused:

*bump*

Can anyone vouch for RastaMufasa? He's got dibs but he's also got a recent reg date and only two posts, both in gear swap.

bump, price drop to $250 shipped

People like to rag on the Apple hype, but it has significant benefits for the user. For example, this week I was able to sell my 2 year old iPhone 4 on Craigslist for $250, which nicely offsets the...

still available

post-labor-day bump

All signs point to it being nearly a certainty at this point.

i'm not too desperate to move them just yet, so I'd like to wait till the fall before dropping the price any more.
