and don't forget to boogie...canned heat

Gee what's that little bump poking up on the background center skyline haha! Nice waterwheels now but no doubt ice cold.

See 0.3 inches in the Caples bucket. Front didn't get further south though which twas hoping for to smooth out all the acne'd corn down south. Yuk. South Peak at V Lks will still be mighty fine...

Not good image but recent. Big dump 2-26-04 buried even more rocks. Early season this whole area is way more rocky so lots of danger where rocks might lie beneath.

Great TR, thanks for sharing. Image with brad's wife in red with those great trees super loaded with fluff is quite a winner. -dave

Feel your wonder Lynx. Just got my full bc randonee setup recently too after years of occasional skin and trekkers on alpine ski bc climbs. Whole new white world to explore. Also given I've been...

comish,

the image posting information is a bit vague here. My first atttempt looked like yours. My second post in below thread has an FYI on inserting image urls from the galleries if one does...

Spats enjoyed talking with you at Bubbs Sunday. Fine image looking down through Monster tips to new Headwall lift way below. Way steep. -dave

Second image was after Ty and Mr B. simultaneously dropped then greeted each other with supprise. Another skier then launched a fine air turn off the cornice landing with an explosion of white. ...

Glad to hear Summit is going off well. Caught a group of you at KW Sunday morning at chair 10 liftline. At top friend and I were trading turns camcording each others runs and I was set up to ski...

Moon rises 3:50pm today at 95% illumination 4:50pm Friday at 99%, 6pm Saturday at 100%, and 7:10pm Sunday at 98%.

Another facet of all this is until 2000, the USA was in an unpresidented boom with all the new dot coms making a lot of new people rich. People with money to spend. For most of that period most...

One cheap and easy way to sneak a day in at Mammoth from Tahoe is to say ski Kirkwood on a given midweek day then afterwards drive east on SR88 to Gardnerville then south on US395. Get a cheap motel...

Reminder that as an REI member one can get a modest $6 discount off the greedy $59 regular Squaw day price for a $53 ticket. That's the only way to reduce the Saturday day ticket cost.

Don't...

CS, great composition and exposure on image "Bullet, hucking".

Bullet, enjoyed your videos, especially going over Balls making that towering landing cloud. Way steeper up there than video can...

(73-98?) Saturday's report read 73 to 92 inches. This pic is on nearby highway.

Just tossed last shoe in car. Going out the door now 7:35am. Maybe up by noon. US50 now open but on SR88 KW still isolated.

Noticed Mammoth Pass remote satellite gauge showing 3.6 inches precip now about 6am Thursday and still puking barfing ralphing dumping szhittin.

KW morning report shows 34-54 inch storm total over about 30 hours. Carson Pass and Spur still closed though. -dave

5:30am Thursday now. SR50 and SR88 both have been closed for hours as cold core low continues to feed in post front bands. NWS was wrong about low tracking SE as it continued NE which is good for...

About 4pm now. KW 10:21am morning update showed ALL lifts were closed today. Backside of main front is still dumping there and will for next while. Caples gauge shows a modest 1.1 inches precip...

mountainboard >>>SSSDave-It's because your from San Fransisco

Not from San Francisco and rarely go there, totally another world. That's 45 miles north of Silicon Valley. As for the image, my...

Not enthusiastic about it. Since the camera's focus is the girl, the peaks have mediocre focus. Further given the small size of web images, there is hardly detail beyond general shapes. The shape...

Sure but Thursday even ffffffffffffreshier. -dave

Looking like main action will be Wednesday though often when the NWS calls big, it ain't. Might shut down passes some. If 4 feet dumps, the KW Loop Road lot will be no fun. So I'm leaning towards...

flat light but it be Jim's

Sad. Absolutely horrible. Check out fifth image from top.

Yeah years ago, couple times. All that Fresno has is lame considering what is possible on the western slopes of the southern Sierra. Should put a real resort up behind Florence Lake reservoir....

Here's some of my turns in shadowy deep red firs off the Waterhouse ridge Wednesday. -dave

gimpy, you're right about most of the stuff scoured at the ridge lines. Bumps in the chutes were fine. And how about these beauties on Janek? So smooth and round. -dave

Sideslip? Straightline? No did 9 jump turns in the 30 or so feet of Waterfall's rock wall. -dave

Vista from the rib between the dual Two Man chute.

From ridge of Wagon Wheel Bowl near Saddle Chute.
I took the easier 5 footer a bit ahead haha. -dave

Great pic's Ty.

Some from 2-10-04 windy Tuesday.

Skied KW Tues/Wed. Big east wind scoured off much of the exposed areas on upper mountain as Gimpy said. But snow is fine mid winter condition in the many protected chutes like Thunder, Notch,...

I'll be up at KW tomorrow morning Tuesday and maybe Wednesday. Since the big Monday storm, temps stayed relatively cold. Then the modest Friday storm and not only have temps stayed cold but east...

Last night small storm was moving into the Sierra. Got my gear all packed by the door, set the alarm for 5am since I'd have a 3 1/2 hour drive. Alarm rang, and I checked the web. Showed about 4/10...

Always Amtrak to Truckee then TART all about Tahoe and special busses connect to various resorts. -dave
