"Get your Season Pass" is prominently displayed tough!

Hard to miss the lodging booker too.

From comments on Unofficial Alpine:

Emailed Squaw | Alpine (wish it was just Alpine!), they said, “We are opening tomorrow but very limited terrain will be open. We are hoping to open Gold Coast and Snoventures but that is it so far and it is not a guarantee.”

**powdork** · 11-25-2014, 01:32 PM

so i guess that means you're not heading to kirkwood for thanksgiving.

**Ottime** · 11-25-2014, 02:21 PM

Have you looked at the weather forecast? 70F and fun surf with off shore winds.

Monday/Tuesday looks like they could get fun tho.

**skier666** · 11-25-2014, 02:34 PM

I'm in Hawaii...that generally helps the Tahoe snowpack

**powdork** · 11-25-2014, 04:31 PM

Squaw's email says Gold Coast tomorrow. Tickets only $76!!! :-)

**~mikey b** · 11-25-2014, 04:59 PM

Yeah fuck that

**Huck Pitueee** · 11-25-2014, 08:54 PM

I just saw images of Mt Lassen on the KCRA evening news. Looks like the south face has great cover! Any snow
info on that area?

**old goat** · 11-25-2014, 11:14 PM

Last season I skied Gold Coast more than in the previous 37 years combined. This year I think I'll sit out for a while.

**LongShortLong** · 11-26-2014, 02:03 AM

This was the warmest November I remember for the bay area, and I'm getting to be an old fart. It feels like a warmish October.

I'm sure the next few weeks will bring a dump though. Almost always do. (Though I am worried that the ground ain't wet and the air is dry)

Hey Jahroy, you still out there!

**RaccoonFace** · 11-26-2014, 03:06 AM

Can someone give me beta on the resorts with the deepest snow right now?

I just bough my new Volant Pure Silver skis + Marker Duke touring bindings and I really need to get out and rip the powder snow on these fatties.

okbye

I have an old freezer I haven't defrosted in a while--that's as deep as anywhere.

**powdork** · 11-26-2014, 10:17 AM

OVERALL CONFIDENCE HAS DECREASED THIS MORNING...

uh oh

**TahoeJ** · 11-26-2014, 11:06 AM

There's some serious waffling going on every few hours. Both have storms, but the amount of snow is fluctuating quite a bit with temperature swings.

**soul_skier** · 11-26-2014, 11:06 AM

The fact that it is snowing everywhere but Tahoe is simply a test, we must persevere. However, the fact that i'm sitting in an office in NYC and watching it puke while the Sierras are dry makes me want to step outside and scream at the heavens!

Reno office.

Fingers and toes crossed. In the meantime, Turkey Trot shit and maybe some dirt in Auburn.

**~mikey b** · 11-26-2014, 01:39 PM

Sac office forecast a little more optimistic but not much.

I've always found it interesting to compare the two offices. Sac is almost always more optimistic. It may reflect their differing forecast areas, with Sac covering the favored area for precip, but it seems like it goes beyond that and applies if the Reno office is talking about the crest as well or some area of overlap. Been like that for at least a decade.

At the risk of beating a dead horse, BA's latest is just as optimistic as before, but with a simple timing change.

All hypothetical until it's on the ground, of course.

**alfajores** · 11-26-2014, 02:41 PM

I am lazy. Enough said.

**alfajores** · 11-26-2014, 02:51 PM

Anyone recommend an AIARE 1 course over another? I am hearing good things about LTCC. Any time of the year better to take the course? Late January?

That was my take when looking at today's runs. And kind of have a guy we were moving that way anyway.

Looks slower and more drawn out and not as heavy. Could still be similar totals, but with a better chance at binding well.
