i came here looking for just these pics thx

I think we have a cultural problem in CA. "Peak" ski season is Christmas week teaching your kid in the dark and wet and cold and thin, and then little league starts in March and the masses move on...

lolol heckling miles, what a SICK edit

if you check the Cal Trans road conditions site they do a lot of R1 on the local north shore roads, but it's not really advertised nor enforced- so easy to miss....more like a technical designation...

*cancels bus service, charges more for parking*

how on earth can anybody say with a straight face this reservation system is about reducing car traffic?

i have ONLY ever heard of driving in heavy snowfall as "hyperspace"!!

i always thought the rule was stake out your car and no fault if the plow plows you

is that a sign for LADIES DAY with $7.00 tickets??

this is the depressing truth

new ski resort development is sort of the elephant in the room huh. we (rightly) bitch and moan about how everything has gotten harder and more crowded...

but california population has doubled...

did somebody say integrated-development car-free ski resort??

parking reservations, parking restrictions, but still no plan to improve non-vehicular access to the mountain. until the county creates a more convenient way to get to the base without a car, the...

if there's enough snow to hide the moguls, it's enough for me to want to be beeping, esp if there's wind, esp if the snowpack is squirrelly

the surf has been really relentless and pretty fun

hey ski team! a personal ad for the new season:

i've got a kirkwood ski lease with two spots to fill - it's a house in the valley, walking distance to the lift, 4br/3ba (& garage!!!) with 8...

it's like... what do you? Homewood did their damndest to stay open year after year , but 100 skiers a day is not enough to pay for shit at all.

west shore is pretty ratty and getting worse fast. our skintrack was melted down to dirt in places in the time it took to ski down. significant meltout on the approach to jakes/hidden peak, complete...

I want to call it the winter to end all winters, but I think that’s require winter to actually end which it isn’t doing

How do I ski twin peaks when alpine is open? Have ppl carved out any parking spots on ward rd? Or is it a total wash.

Woof I wish access was better

How um…how does this thing work? What plays it?

Also how much snow has come down the last two days? We got 1.5” of rain on the coast already

Did ya'll see my ad in the most recent OpenSnow digest?? Always trying to confirm the right people are getting the message - and also always stoked to support local publications:

I used to take the Sherwood shuttle from sunnyside, it was the best.

I’m lugging up a 140pint/hr industrial dehumidifier this Friday.

I can import TP if you can hold it till then.

Same boat — my dad passed last year and I’m taking care of his place in Tahoe city and this suburban style house is not designed for shedding - and simply have not been able to get ahold of anybody...

Such funky snow today at Carson pass. Hit the steep trees and chutes above woods lake and breaking trail from the sno park was so tough.

I figured low elevation north facing trees would be holding...

more than a week out, I don't trust the models further than I can throw them

At least the snowpack is gonna last literally forever. Deep, 100% saturated, and now pressure packed into a solid block of ice.

If you can get there, been trying to get to our place for a third day now, poking at the pass from both sides.

I think it’s been an epic shitshow and Caltrans is pretty adverse to the holiday...

pouring torrential rain all day in kirkwood, all the way to the top of the ridge. total swamp
