    JXN to Tahoe?

    Anybody get any recommendations to cut that drive down beyond the google maps advice of driving through Pocatello to twin falls then down to 80 in Nevada and across?

    This, though keep it down from Twin through Jackpot as there are often speed traps.

    The pow skiing is insane here currently, so the drive will be worth it.

    Yup that's the route.

    Agreed on the route. Also recommend a Valentine One radar detector.

    Dude, the cost of flying in or out of Jackson in the shoulder season is mind boggling. I saw 1400 to PDX.

    got my New Orleans flight next week out of JAC for under $500
    Something about the wrinkle in your forehead tells me there's a fit about to get thrown
    And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
    It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
    and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.

    Yeah flying is super expensive and I'm bringing the bike. Hitting downieville tomorrow and hopefully some of the lower shit in south lake over the weekend. Bachelor party. Any strip clubs in south lake? Maybe ride Reno on the way out if we get shit down in south lake.

    Prepare for some rain (and maybe a little snow) during your rides...

    That's the route last time I checked. Second the V1 recommendation, though I picked up a Passport 8500 x50 off ebay for $200, and it works fine.

If someone could make a jacket of those three things it would no doubt be the most popular and prized item in all of your closets.

    Bottle service at Vex attracted bachelorette parties when I was at a bachelor party over memorial day weekend 2009. So, if you get the right girls, they're your strippers?

    Many thanks gents. Besides skiing powder indoors, will my chance to ride Mr. Toads be fucked by this snow? Looking forward to lapping the corral trail either way.

    By Saturday evening there could be 6 - 12 inches above 7k feet... so it might. But Tahoe storms have been highly unpredictable the past few years so who the hell knows. It might just rain.

    I don't like strip clubs anymore. Those women are worse hoes than the hoes at Mustang Ranch or any other brothel.
    At least at Mustang, you cut a deal and blow your load in the hoe. Unfortunately, $40 quickies are a thing of the past.
    Strip clubs - if you blow your load, I guarantee it's gonna leave a wet spot on your pants.
    And you'll prolly spend more at the strip club.

    Toads had snow pack on the upper section a few days ago. Monument / Cold Creek has been good. Check the Tamba trail conditions page/FB for updates.

    This. If porta strippers are required you best bet is probably importing from Sac.

    Funny enough, at that same party, two chicks came back with us from beirut on the beach and other shenanigans at Zephyr. They ended up in the hot tub with like six dudes and the bachelor doing body shots off their tits (he and his bitch wife split after three years). Turns out they actually were strippers from Folsom. Believe they were at that Centerfolds off 50 in Rancho Cordova. They were up for the weekend and basically looking for a place to party and crash, and the enormous VRBO place we got off Pioneer Trail fit the bill. Didn't actually find out they were strippers until one of them visited a buddy in SF later.
