Funi-Sibo-Gold Coast only, Shirley and Granite Chief if we're lucky.

The mtb season has already started (or never really ended...)

That was my reaction. By then every trail will be like skiing your way back out of Sun Bowl. I think they're desperate to finish out all of the team seasons so they don't have to give back partial refunds. Just guessing.

On the MTB note, anyone else noticing a ridiculous amount of bugs and mosquitoes so far this year? Probably due to the warm winter making ideal breeding conditions. (north bay, not Tahoe... yet)

**LongShortLong** · 03-27-2015, 12:38 PM

Bugs, check. The gnat swarms are out in the yay area, and skeeters bit me at KW. Happy there's still snow.

The good news/silver lining, so to speak: the moist season will most likely be short-lived, so the bug season will be as well.

Willing to trade 1 squaw alpine lift ticket for a 650b tire. Preferably new or still with the nipples. Tubeless compatible but I won't be picky.

**brannen** · 03-27-2015, 03:43 PM

tahoe has been good the last week and some days! never thought it could happen.

Full Moon Skiing

Steep Corn

Pain McShlonkey

Mt. Rose Backcountry

Hot Tub Airs

Spring Conditions

And some gnar gnar in Mainline and Palisades

**t-heineken** · 03-27-2015, 08:00 PM

Any snow at all at Carson Pass?

Was thinking of touring just for exercise.
Though, maybe I should just bring the bike

**shakyknees** · 03-28-2015, 09:56 AM

South of 88 coverage should be fine out to RT and down to 8400 or so. Nights have been cold. Should be good.

**TurxSki** · 03-28-2015, 11:00 AM

So just heard Alpine is closing THIS weekend now.
Was just gonna head over there but wonder if we should stay at Squaw...hm ...

**thefrush** · 03-28-2015, 01:31 PM

Really? That sucks. Was hoping to get up there next Friday.

I am looking at official and unofficial sites that say Alpine open until 4/5.

Didn't drop much below 40 at 7800' last night. There was some overnight freeze. But it thawed quickly. Early spring starts. It does look like there is a fair amount of snow on the approach to the lake, as viewed from the chair.

**P-ville Madman** · 03-28-2015, 08:46 PM

Fun day at the wood today. Stayed longer than planned trying out as much of Moments line up as I could. Upper Mtn was good to go...They say there gonna stay open until the 19th...not sure how that's gonna happen

**rod9301** · 03-28-2015, 09:00 PM

Tamarack was great today, soft on east aspect, firm on north ( before noon)

Coverage is really good.

**t-heineken** · 03-28-2015, 11:50 PM

Surprised to hear Tamarack was good, but pleasantly surprised. Maybe heading there tomorrow.

Thanks for the report

**TurxSki** · 03-29-2015, 11:45 AM

At KW today...man it's a ghost town. Where are all the epic pass holders at?
NoStars?

**TahoeJ** · 03-29-2015, 12:01 PM

Mountain-biking.

**powdrhound** · 03-29-2015, 03:12 PM

$12 Tuesdays at Bear Valley. How can one pass that up?
I will be there Tuesday.

**TurxSki** · 03-29-2015, 07:21 PM

10 was a hoot! Snake gully with no gapers!
Props to the'trollers for keeping the exit from The Drain alive by shoveling snow to make a path out next to the stream

**Ottime** · 03-29-2015, 07:26 PM

^^^pretty much all mtn ops have been working hard to keep things alive. Did you venture out to Pali for sweet corn laps?

What does BV have turning?

**~mikey b** · 03-29-2015, 08:29 PM

BV has Kuma, Koala (for now), Cub, Super Cub. Limited but fun.

I will be there Tuesday with young Owen.

**TurxSki** · 03-29-2015, 09:03 PM

No did not go out towards Pali
We did see peeps hiking up by Sentinel Bowl. Heard there were goods in trees under that rock across boundary over that way
