Avoid sit down restaurants if you’re looking for a quick meal. Lunch and dinner are 2+ hour experiences. If you want a quick bite, get a kebab.

Why the hell were the ski women relegated to running the Petit Bec?

I don’t know shit, but 88 is managed by a different Caltrans district than 80.

Looking at the current forecast I’d be surprised if they can’t open Carson Pass by Tuesday.

Pretty strong argument in the wake of the KT slide this year

Thanks! All I needed was a time-machine when I asked the question to see the blog post from today.



That's a short run. Hopefully the snow is good for the flippy-spinny riders to shine, I can't...

I haven't been in California long enough to know pre-Vail Kirkwood - last year they blamed their agreement with USFS for closing early. Is that BS?

Anyone have a picture of the comp venue in Georgia?

Source?

So many of the westerner focused guiding companies in Japan seem to be hiring out people with no professional credentials to guide backcountry tours. My wife and I tried to hire a guide last minute...

If you're looking for racer oriented performance then I would say Start Haus.
Olympic Bootworks make more comfortable footbeds than most shops that focus on having deep heel cup. Really comfortable...

75 skied nice all day, lower mountain snow made for a good workout.

Thought I lucked out with an untracked on Powerline face but it was wind buff over a thin rain crust.

Got in line for Siberia...

I had to look pretty hard to find a 4WD car rental a few weeks ago, but it looks like there's still a lot of hotel availability.

I'm landing in Hokkaido on Monday! These latest photos have me stoked! Going to spend a couple days based out of Otaru, then following the snow forecast.

What's going on with KT? I thought they'd have enough snow after the last storm to open it up.

There's a handful of takeout paces in the "Green Box" takeout container exchange program - https://www.keeptruckeegreen.org/use-a-green-box-to-go-container/

I've got flights booked to Tokyo and I've got 7 days to go skiing with my wife from Jan 15-21. We're going to go for 50/50 resort/touring. Central Hokkaido is our first choice, but I've been holding...

Heavenly’s lift layout is an atrocity

Why is everyone hating on the weekend parking reservation system at PTOV?

Reserving a spot from home on Tuesday before I want to go skiing is so much nicer than waking up early to leave Truckee...

Bump! Spots are still available

Because of a wedding scheduling conflict. I've got to hand off 5 spots on a hut trip to Burnie Glacier Chalet this winter/spring. Guided backcountry trip with food and heli-transfer included.

My wife and I are driving from Golden, BC back to Truckee in just over a week and hoping to break up the drive by going for a tour on the 22nd in the Sawtooths. We don't know the area or snowpack,...

Hey everyone, my wife and I are driving from Golden, BC back to Truckee in just over a week and hoping to break up the drive by going for a tour on the 22nd somewhere in Idaho. Would love to check...

Is 89 around Emerald Bay ever going to be cleared and open, or are they waiting for it to melt?

Long shot, but does anyone in Truckee have some QK or Binding Freedom fasteners for ATK Raiders/Voyagers I could buy or borrow? 8mm flathead, 12mm long M5. I went to Ace and I'd need to grind down...

Ah yes, the Norwegian "ski cut" technique where you end up in the middle of the slope and have to ride out a slide over exposure.

I'm hoping that JDL goes all out for Verbier. After that backflip attempt in her first comp, I feel like she's been holding back since then.

Mostly I want to see a hometown skier who grew up...

You should DM eSock about these

I'm Interested! DM'd

Ah, thanks! I'm looking for the tour version of either ski, sorry my title was ambiguous.

I'm in Truckee and can pick up around the lake, Bay Area, Reno, or Mammoth.

9 seconds of stoke - how much bitching about traffic and parking does that buy me?

Hypothetically, what's the scoring criteria if an athlete gets caught in an avalanche?

KW Cirque?

I kayak, and it would be rad if Cody and Bjarne linked up with Erik Boomer and Sarah McNair-Landry up there. They've done some awesome human/dog-powered arctic ski+ expeditions

TART had a bus leaving the Truckee High School parking lot every 30 minutes on weekends last year. What happened to that? When the conditions are average I'd love to leave for skiing late morning and...

Hey guys, let's cut the crap and get real here. The FWT has been upping their game by putting a focus on tricks and spins, and I'm all for it. Anyone who's against it is just stuck in the past and...

Left South Lake for KW at 8am today and we’re still on the road. I knew it would be busy, but this is truly wild.

Tremblant has the most terrain, Sutton has good tree skiing. I grew up skiing at Owl’s Head and it has a decent amount of vert with amazing views.

I've never skied at Orford, but you should...

KW patrollers have told me they personally recommend wearing a beacon after a big cycle. So maybe? No harm in putting it on.

dm'd - merry xmas cheap ass

Is there a decent boot shop / fitter in SLT? I mostly see recommendations for Starthaus and Olympic (original location) but I'd rather find a good boot fitter in town than a great one an hour away.

I agree with you there. I see KW patrol working hard to mitigate danger all over the mountain. They only open stuff after it's been thoroughly blasted.

Should they come up with an official...

I witnessed another inbounds slide at KW today, a snowboarder triggered it while charging down Boylermaker.

Ski patrol's recommendation is to wear a beacon and carry gear after a big storm cycle....

Be careful out there everyone. I know there's some debate about the "Extreme" danger rating, but I was involved in an inbounds slide at KW today.

My partner dropped a short untracked shot below...

They are capable of sending your GPS coordinates when on a call with 911 services, but can only broadcast through cellphone networks.

Yesterday was an all time day at KW, no lines and I was skiing on fresh at the end of the day. Today... I don't know yet, traffic is backed up to east of Caples lake spillway

Seriously... I had flashbacks to driving in Quebec

Hella shitty man. Within a day of moving to SF my car was broken into and a bag with all my soft gear was stolen. Do you have renter's/homeowners insurance? That was a godsend for me.

I've been trying every code sent to me on a specific pair of skis for the past week and none of them have worked, it's getting to be a real cocktease.

Do their discount codes ever work on "New" items?
