10/11 Tahoe Weather, Conditions, Stoke, and What's Up Thread

Here's a little video of me hitting Kodak from the 1/2/2011. This was filmed by a random passerby who took my email address and sent it to me (thanks dude!).

I was on the chair when it happened and managed to snap this pic:

Twas another fun day yesterday. I wonder what will hold up for Saturday.

Anyway, here is some near stoke.

Started the morning trying to get a shot of Powdork. He is such not the slut that he kept on dodging the camera. Damn soul skiers, skiing for fun.


He is even known to attack camera men, as to not ruin his fun.


Almost snagged one, but speed and deep snow, screw me again.


I figured, I'd lurk down hill, in the shadows and get a shot where there is no where to hide. Instead, I get spray.


Fool, me once... There is no snow in the air.


He got tired of trying to out run my expert lens, so I enlisted FranklezZ. I hid among the trees. He seemed to be enjoying some lazy powder turns.


And then he fell down a hole.


As the sun set, he slid into the shadows and found chalk where often there is crust. Another reason to love the cold.

^^nice pics. Surprised I didn't run into you guys out there. Did a few laps out that way myself yesterday.

Looks like things are skiing nicely. Watching that video reminds me how big Kodak is (and why I have/will never hit that ). Nice!

Tyrone - we were wondering who was setting tracks out there. I think a third group was out there as well.

oooh just a little farther

oooh deadwood cirque looks like a lot of fun.

Paging all SLT snowmobile mags, i just got a sled yesterday 08 Arctic Cat M8!!! Now i just need to figure our how, and where to ride it so if anybody is looking for someone to ride and ski with give me a shout i work graveyard so am up to to pretty much everyday, so if anyone could stand showing a newbie around it'd be a huge help. (usually have plenty of cold beers)

that makes more sense. OMG, the comments after the article!

SFGate has some of the most mentally-challenged group of commenters I've ever seen-especially on accident/SAR articles. They make this place look like MENSA.

This is such a tease. This is the only area that makes me want to do a multi day trip. I need more shit first

[powdork]

I think you might be able to sled to it from Hope Valley via the Nipple.

Deadwood Cirque is deep in designated wilderness.

I am in.

Get the skizee. Just hide it in your pack when the law shows up.

I think you could get out there from KW on a long day trip. But then you'd only be able to go down it once. We need some igloo building maggots out this way.

Deadwood Cirque is deep in designated wilderness.

It's off Deadwood Peak, right? You could get a sled down to Upper Blue Lake, where I believe the Wilderness Boundary begins. From there it'd only be about 3 miles and 2000' to Deadwood Peak, according to my topo software. Seems pretty doable in a day even with a fun line or two around the Nipple thrown in for good measure. (It's a project I've considered before. Dheli- This would make a nice post-bar gift.)
