Just had a nice snowy drive from TC to Squaw. Falling nicely although not much had accumulated anywhere. Looking promising right now.

Kwood snow phone is reporting 6-10".

**AKbruin** · 11-04-2011, 10:10 AM

2" at 6600' in Incline.
Maybe 5" at the parking lot for Hourglass.

Here's a photo I took of Twin Peaks yesterday around 4:30. I pretty sure it looks a bit different now.

**powdork** · 11-04-2011, 04:11 PM

needs more snow. went to carson pass and my gut was telling me to keep going to kirkwood. when i say that i mean my stomach was revolting (hangover) and there was no way i could start hiking at that time. i thought i'd check out the wood and if i didn't feel better just pick up my pass. as soon as i pulled into kirkwood drive my stomach felt 100% and up i went. I had 1 turn with the old snow base under the new, and it was phenomenal. then it was 10-14" of superlight on top of nothing the rest of the way down. good times.
carson pass on last years snow would be money.

**Ottime** · 11-04-2011, 09:48 PM

never mind. my wife just started to laugh. and it lasted quite some time. guess i'll wait for a bit more snow.

**harpo-the-skier** · 11-05-2011, 12:16 AM

I went XC skiing today on the old paved road from Luther to Hope Valley. Coverage was adequate for xc rock skis but we had bad icing issues. Went a half mile and then played with beacons.

Am I really the only one going to the movie at Moment tonight? As a poor grad student I really appreciate the free screenings and $1 beer, gives me a reason to stop grading exams and think about the fact that I'll probably be skiing this month!

I want to see the movie for sure but here is the weather forecast. It's an outdoor showing. I can crank the fireplace and get a 12 pack of PBR for $9 and watch the movie at home.

Forecast for Reno:

Special Weather Statement

Tonight...Snow likely in the evening...then snow after midnight. Snow accumulation up to 2 inches. Lows 24 to 29. Southwest winds 10 to 15 mph. Gusts up to 30 mph in the evening.

While I don't disagree with the wisdom of your fireplace/beer plan, at the same time it would probably be good preparation for ski season to be battered by the elements in your ski gear. Or something.

**Nuthon** · 11-05-2011, 06:34 PM

Kirkwood 9-9:30 @ timber creek. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Spent the day at BoringHill today and will be back there tomorrow. The high temp I saw was 26° today. Yes, it was shocking after a whole lotta summer skiing in shorts.

SnowBomb in SF Sunday is the best I can do for a few days. Sinecure? Beuler?

**RaccoonFace** · 11-06-2011, 11:20 AM

Anywhere get significant accumulations?

okbye

**dookeyXXX** · 11-06-2011, 12:07 PM

not terribly sig here in T/D.

they plowed the main roads, but nobody came to plow my driveway and while it looks like somewhere between 1-2" accumulated on the roof and road, I can't see much difference in the 6" on the back deck from Friday.

again, the fact that they haven't plowed any driveways = not terribly significant to me.

The bonus, however, is that due to colder temps, quite a bit of the snow that fell on Thursday night/Friday morning is still lingering and hasn't melted much at a lower elevation such as T/D.

said 6-8 at kirkwood. nuthon should be reporting back soon. i'm thinking it would have been pretty good with obstacles

Twas not a good idea. Saw Seanhav & crew. I think the general concenus was that it was pretty fucking horrible. I might have had like 3-4 "good" turns & that is pushing it. I think i have fulfilled my quota for hitting rocks this year.
