    I've concluded that DJSapp was never DJSapp, and Not DJSapp is also not DJSapp, so that means he's telling the truth now and he was lying before.

    I'm going to be there the 6th and 7th. I've never skied there, what's going to be open? Blue runs? Any other ski area in Tahoe that usually opens early, too?

    Hey, there's some decent stuff off of 11 if there's enough snow. Of course, this early in the year enough snow involves covering the rocks (mostly) on the groomers.

    Hmmmm...I wonder what Waterfall looks like right now? Perhaps it may involve rope duckage though.

    Why do I have to go to LA? If I could bail, I would hit both the Mammoth and Kirkwood openners. Bah! Oh well.

    And even if you do get down waterfall it'self, you still have the drain to deal with. I played the waterskiing game last year. I don't feel a need to do it again.

    Methinks the drain will be covered and set up. Who knows though.

    No way. gotta agree with nater on this one, it is gonna be a death trap this weekend. if it opens someone will be getting taken out of there on a sled.

    also, are you really gonna duck the rope on opening weekend to ski waterfall and run the risk of getting your pass clipped?

    I made the mistake of going off-piste near chair 11 last year on opening day and there were rocks everywhere.

    So for KW pass holders, do we have to wait in that long ass line or can we buy a ticket and get reimbursed later?

    Oh great, the voice of reason. Come on man, we don't like that around here. Besides, I was just trying to goad you guys into doing some exploratory skiing. You know, take one for the team and all.

    Yeah I thought I heared a rumor to that effect, or something.

    Right now only 11 and 5 are open and these only access intermediate terrain (and some short—300 foot—steeps which are pretty rocky early season and involve a lengthy flat, yet treacherous, traverse back to the lift). However, if they open chair 6, which goes to the top, all kinds of gnarr will be available. Kirkwood is really, really good in the early season with lots small drops and what not.

    Please, please, don't say things like that. I'm having enough trouble dealing with all the excitement as it is. If they opened 6, I might have a heart attack.
