I would love that.

OTOH, at a recent Reno group bike ride, some guy was going on about how much he wanted Vail to buy Mt Rose, so he wouldn't have to buy a separate Rose pass. He said he loved...

One run and done at Mt Rose. Horrific windfuck conditions off the groomer. Unpredictable mix of dust on chunk and smooth on the groomers.

Went home.

Windy this morning in the neighborhood. Mt Rose report went from "powder day!" to "Park only on main side" to "delay and expect wind holds".

Waiting and watching...

I left Rose about 11:30. Nobody there. Empty chairs running, or with just one or two people. Heavy snow, but so much of it that there was plenty of fresh everywhere. Whiteout blizzard conditions,...

Rose reporting 14-16" but that's out of 3" of water.

Going up, with DPS 138s, because it sounds like a good day for water skis.

According to the local weather site in Galena Forest, about 0.9" of rainfall since midnight already. Yesterday 1.8" total. 5800' snowpack in yard is shrinking.

Thanks - can't get up any earlier than maybe 1:30 PM. Guess it'll have to wait until tomorrow for me.

I think I may head up this afternoon.... thanks!

Haven't gone out yet, but looking outside, we've got about 2' overnight in Galena Forest. Going to be doing a lot of snow clearing before we can drive anywhere.

I wonder if Mt Rose will be able...

I asked awhile back, and someone here said they thought Cosmo had moved up near Portland. Something to do with family matters.

Rose highway was closed on the Incline side for awhile, delayed start (10 am) and the website reported that slide side was closed.

We went anyway. Large (for weekday) crowd on main side, but they...

Today will be less crowded than tomorrow. But it sure won't be empty...

Seems like a good day to wear a beacon inbounds.

About a foot total here in Galena Forest. Yesterday's snow was wet and heavy. Overnight was lighter.

Rose reporting 30-36" and delayed opening at 10 am.

Reno is bone dry, warm, windy. But big wall of cloud/storm approaching from the west.

1" so far in Galena Forest off Mt Rose highway, but it's been windy. Got up around 5 and no accumulation by then, so it's all been in the last hour and a half. Steadily but lightly coming down.

If you're mounting Salomon or Dynafit, I have wide jigs for both (older patterns but mostly work). I have a narrower "wide" one for older Look and Rossi, and a really narrow one for Look turntable...

It's an AT-AT.

Mt Rose reported 5-7", and - 1* to start the day. It was accurate. Very light fluff, aim for the piles and turn there. Still hit bottom a lot, but fun. Parking lots look jammed full but no lift...

No, they just need to go to the Ritz-Carlton for some Blue Moon.

I do live in Nevada. I'd drink a Bud Light before any IPA, but that's not saying much.

FWIW, Reno seems to have a new craft brewery popping up every month. Friends tell me they have lots of IPAs,...

I'll revise my morning report to include the case of Anchor Steam that I loaded in the garage fridge yesterday. A bay area beer, without palate gagging levels of hops and hops and more hops and oh...

1" of fluff in Galena, and Mt Rose reporting the same. Just enough snow to cover the gravel on the groomers.

I like Blue Moon, and hate IPAs. I like lighter beers and dark beers, and medium ales, but IPAs are just undrinkable to me.

So, back to the thread...

Sure. I'm in Galena Forest, and trying to get back to touring more - for a variety of reasons, last several years have been skimpy days, more resort focused.

Send me a PM sometime.

Colorado is reportedly far worse than Tahoe right now. If you're going to be satisfied with groomers, you'll probably be OK here. Set your expectations low.

Rose reporting 5-10"! Guessing it's going to be very heavy slop.

Hopefully it bonds well to November's icy snowpack.

I think what the good people of Squaw Valley could really use is a monorail.

Is the gondola triggering all the same violent reactions as the proposed mountain coaster? ("don't spoil my pristine mountain valley with that horrid mechanical contraption -- and pay no attention...

We were out there too. Great fireworks display! From those pics, we must've been right near you - we were standing out front of the snowcats too.

Metric system issue. They meant 15 microns.

On the way to Rose yesterday, someone was pulling out onto the highway from near the ski rental shop near Sky Tavern - - in a Lotus Elise.

Weird. Never sent anything like that at Rose. Plenty of gapers are typical over the holidays, but I welcome the Asian invasion (as my Chinese snowboarder friend calls it) because...

Mrs C and I do a road trip or two every year with MC. It's not as cheap as $400, but it's not ridiculous. No camping or sleeping in the car. Have relatives in SLC, drive ourselves (so only gas cost),...

It was around $350 earlier when they went on sale (like every year), and if you buy early, you can add a 3rd day free at any of the MC resorts. After your MC days are used up, all subsequent days...

Good news.

It was a fun morning - didn't expect much, and was pleasantly surprised.

Early season legs =short day.

IDK if he's still at this location, or even still open, but I was pleased with Cosmo's bootfitting work.

The only other bootfitter I've been...

Damn.

4-5" of rain in Galena. What a difference a couple feet elevation makes...
