The weekend appears to be setting up nicely, especially Sunday (from whereshouldiski.com):

[harpo-the-skier]

Any suggestions for a nor cal shop that has experience installing binding freedom inserts? I am in Sacto, but if nothing here, north lake or south lake suggestions would be appreciated! I have asked around but have been scared off by the "no, but we can try" answers!

Brent Springbet at Sports LTD (530 542 4000) and Sierra Cycle Works (530 541 7505) both do BF inserts.

Another glorious day at Alpine Meadows... Thanks again to all the patrollers!

Also, I was at work at 1 yesterday and I got 2 laps in keyhole before I left so...

....so BGnight is an Ahole

Dear Alpine Meadow's ski patrol,

You are seriously retarded and can eat a bag of dicks. Bomb all of Keyhole/High Yellow area. Then when summit finally opens, keep it closed so everyone can traverse as high as possible, into, and underneath aforementioned terrain. Same goes for lower/upper Beaver (not today)
I can understand summit and even Scott today, but late opening on roundhouse??? Pathetic.

Besides that, skiing was fun!

BG - here's what you need to do - after skiing Alpine the next time, go to the River Ranch and ask for the bartender named Evan and tell him that the AM patrol is seriously retarded and can eat a bag of dicks. - we'll be glad you did - I will give you a couple wooden nickles good for a free cocktail at the RR



put yer money where your mouth is, son - I'm buying

Love to see a pic - best guess for crown height?

big enough that it catches your eyes as soon as you can see eback heading towards it on the 88. it was there yesterday morning too so likely released sunday at some point.

Went brapping around Castle and Andersite. Some pretty good fresh snow in the trees, ridge lines were pretty worked though. I forgot how much work snowmachining is, I think I could have gotten in more lines on my splitboard

TRPA?? i've long been a supporter of the Tahoe Regional Powder Administration.
why just today I was at one of their meetings.






we were happy with the presentation



when i tried to post this the first time the forum software told me i was attempting to duplicate a post i already made. weird

[powdork]

wtf tgr?

[lepistoir]

Implying something like a high toke level?

kirkwood was awesome today. stoke level was

[xtrmjoe]

I love my Bronze pass ($439 early), were tue-thur non holiday riders. While drinking PBR's at the Crest post laps today we heard about the ticket prices at AM now. What the hell did I miss, $99/day holiday $104. The bartender did tell me they raised drink prices to match squaw but I never would have guessed that was tickets to. Where did all the people on Tue get that kind of cash, or were they all just pass holders? I guess I will have my pass paid off tomorrow at those rates.
Upper Beaver/Estelle were good today, but very boney down low. Finished with a condo run. The cold temps have keep it soft if you can find the untracked not much left.

[powdork]

so the guy with 7 posts spamming for whereshouldiski can post pics, but noone else can?!
lets get it together TGR!

more lines and less noise. I'll get you a sticker that says "one less snowmachine".

He's doing the same thing I do: offsite hosting. I would have guessed server space for images/video, but they let you upload images...and then just display thumbnails. Wacky. And probably low-priority for them in between million-dollar movies and commercials.

[powdork]

^^^i can do that too just assumed that wouldn't be allowed as well since someone above was unable to even post links.

overall, we were happy with the presentation

hellz yeah

[old goat]

Anyone see the wreck on 89 north of squaw around 3-330 today. It looked like a boulder rolled down the hillside and took out a car. Ambulance was on the way. Hope it wasn't too bad.

[powdork]

the post is up there, but the pics are not. however, they do appear in the version where i used my hosting

Ridiculously good conditions abounded today. Winning at the Casino.



I thought that Alpine went off completely yesterday with perfect snow for bell to bell straightlining, slarving, and logging a fair bit of air time. The number of fun natural hits right now is amazing. +1 for Patrol keeping it safe and getting terrain open for the shredding pleasure of many (few by the end of the day). The convective snow showers and little breeze in the late afternoon must have made today A+ as well. Thanks to convective instability and the Pacific for donating the goods.



JAH provide.

powdork - does your post show now for you???
I don't know what 's happening, just got home, TSA and homeland security asking me if you had a pilot's license, I said what for, they said something about you buzzing kw at low altitudes, I told them to fuck off I was gonna approve the post anyways. You know, the usual shit...

I thought you meant that fighter jet that buzzed Sunrise bowl about 1k ft off the deck. Came in Sideways and rockin.

Nice sunny day but not warm enough to soften the the second layer. Still lots of fresh powder in Saddle area.
