Haven't been on these forums all year. Too busy wrangling kids at SB and busy planning my kid-free adventures this year, I guess. That and a job where I actually have to work like 40 hrs/week. ...

Someone have a listing of the bay area ski movies/events coming up?

it'd be handy, as I already see that I missed All In (Oct 8th). I'm gonna hit up Far Out... the early show with the fam.

Huts are awesome. I love hut trips. Drinking whiskey while watching the sunset, spending the night at a hut, going outside to stare at the stars en route to the pisser, reading the log... all part...

Yeah, I don't have a proper alpine set up yet. My fattest boards have the beast 16s on them, so that is what I've been using. I still haven't clicked in to a set of alpine boards for 10+ years.......

More stoke!

Sat was fun at Sugar Bowl. Got out for a few hours on Sat and just hot lapped Lincoln 5 times in between taking the kids out. 'Twas deep.

It's true... doubt I'll give up tele 100%, but I have to these days in order to keep up.

Found it.

Where are y'all watching the runs? Or did y'all watch it live?

I only see this 1 min highlights... I guess it'll be up later....

These huge, deep slabs failing in the trees throughout the region are... scary. Stay safe folks.
Bummer about the mom and kid at Kirkwood. That is a crappy way to go.

Here's some footage...

Way to get it Brooks & Jim. Way to nail Cham in rediculous conditions! So much stoke!

No, we just did laps on one... it was a full pole deep in some spots, so breaking trail for that tour...

Yesterday delivered the goods... up both nostrils & beyond. Stayed nice and cold with the sun poking in and out of the clouds. SW aspects got a bit crusty by the end of the day but all other aspects...

Sold.

I've got a used Float 30 with the canister... it's full now so if you are Bay Area or N. Lake Tahoe and want to pick it up I can leave it filled. Or if you want me to ship it add 15$... and I'll...

Nice! Yeah I only had a day pass from the fam (24hrs) so squeezing in Ashland would've been tough. That's where I grew up so I know about those trails for sure... we used to beg our parents to haul...

If the road opens y'all should take some pond skimming attire...

Here's some pics from yesterday. Quick one day trip from Oakland. Went up Avy Gulch. It was windy (westerly) from the top of the red banks to the top of misery hill... but wasn't too bad at the...

it took us about 30 min to reach snowline. IMO, not enough to warrant carrying shoes... I'd just boot it. 183145

Thanx for the intel and beta on the verts... we'll go wherever the conditions dictate. Can't wait!

Lovin' the stoke folks!

Quick question... how necessary are verts in AK?

I'm headed up there with 6 other folks (Cali/PNW dudes in their late 30s, early 40s) in April... we're flying into...

I don't think they post here much... but Vasta doesn't sound familiar...

Lovin' the Kid Stoke!

Got my 2 yr old out for the first time a few weeks back. My 4 year old jumped right back to where we left off last season... I got both of them on the lift for a few hours...

yeah, as for tours, that's pretty much it... the hut is great, but the terrain options aren't anything to get too excited about. Unless you can figure out a way to ski the chutes down to the valley...

Just saw that slide footage on Snowbrains. Wow. That's crazy... lucky dude. Glad he's OK. We were there that day... I think we skied right through his avy debris...

Anyway, that was an...

Scarpa T1 Size 24.0

These boots were handed down to me from a friend who is travelling... they barely fit me... but considering I have the same boots in a size that fits... I don't need these at...

Did a quick one day trip up Hotlum-Wintun last Fri. Left Oakland after putting my son down for the night, met up with B at Granzellas, swapped driving/sleeping and started hiking after moshing down...

Nice BG, I saw those tracks when we were up there on Fri.... needless to say, the conditions have changed quite a bit......

Sorry for the x-post, but I should've posted here from the beginning:

Anyone headed through Tuolumne Meadows/Tioga Pass to the Bay Area anytime soon? I need to pick up my unused cache from the...

Anyone headed through Tuolumne Meadows/Tioga Pass from the Bay Area anytime soon? I need to pick up my unused :( cache from the hut....

PM me, and I'll gladly repay you with some beer.

Great stoke folks! Now that I've got my son some real boots and 80 cm skis, I'll contribute.

Had a great time testing out a friend's chariot + ski attachment system and heading out to Castle...

I was at Squaw on Mon too... that was a fun day. Got there for a half day after playing with my kids in the snow. Heavy creamy pow up higher that got refreshed with the wind blown pow on Funnel all...

Aren't there tons of yo-yo-ing potentials there? Are there any slopes near the parking lot to ski? Any good pics, or beta if I'm thinking about going there to get some vert? Not necessarily...

Way to bring this back up from the dead......

Ha... I've only come here when I'm a gimp myself... but gotta comment as I just had my left shoulder done 2 weeks ago. I've had 3 operations on my right... 1st - ortho, 2nd - open bankart, 3rd -...

666, the top of the Y was great snow. Then it turned to brain rattling hard pack... but at least it was smooth, w/little to no chunder.

I'm guessing that this week... and probably into the...

Hop's last name is Yü? Ha... that's funny. Dutch, I guess? It's a pretty common Chinese last name also (w.o the umlaut obviously)... but it's my Japanese given name.

Nice! Lovin' the stoke! Here's mine:

Another day like we had on Sunday, and I'd be satisfied.

yeah, gopro even sells anti-fog inserts. Spendy for some desiccant, but it works well. http://gopro.com/camera-accessories/anti-fog-inserts/
I also know some folks put RainX on the outside, RainX...

Agreed! (on the jumping off stuff part)

You lose a glove perhaps? :biggrin:

Here's an edited version of my day on Sunday. Looked fun yesterday... is it staying cold and fluffy up there...

Ha... thanx. That's my little dude last Wed. I'm guessing he'll start crawling this week sometime... very exciting, but I'm gonna have to keep a close eye on him now.

Best day of the season (so far)!

here's a short unedited clip from the wood...

Had a good time out at Carson Pass yesterday... only 2 other cars when we arrived at noon! Anyway, been trying some time-lapses... so I made a quick vid if you wanna take a look. Turned around from...

Nice Pics! Keep em coming. We need more TR's like this.

I went up there for a day trip last Sat (17th)... there's suncups to the top of red banks, and rimed snow from there to the summit. A great climb... horrible ski. The N. Side looked good... a...
