Little edit from NYE over near Rubicon. So nice riding west shore trees again. And with this new lake level snow the lower elevations hopefully get a little less stump-filled. Fuck yeah, Tahoe!

4 to 6 on Phouse when we dropped at roughly 215ish. Skied well and the interface seemed to be well bonded. Snowing steadily the last bit of the skin with a harder burst coming right as we were getting back to the car.

First wave seemed weak here in south lake city, but I found ~6" at emerald bay late this afternoon. 2nd wave was kicking in nicely, 4" on the car after a 1.5 hr ski. Sloughy not slabby, wind light. There may be some good skiing tomorrow.

skied squaw today, they got a good amount of snow already. nearly a foot by now, it seemed around 8-10 inches when I was riding there today on the lower mountain.
Heavy and wet, careful on your knees where it gets tracked out. it's really grippy. if it actually snows a good amount tomorrow thursday will be a proper pow day in the upper elevations

I assume squaw never opened up top aside from Gold Coast? If the same happens tomorrow Thursday should be pretty nice up there.
I ski 135 degree chutes switch to the road.

KT delivered. Rode til noon when things warmed up considerably. Before that it was run after run of refills. It was a ghost town the first hour too. Maybe every 4th chair loading. I was so wet and exhausted coming home I thought I was getting the flu. But after a nap, some food, and good scotch I thankfully am feeling better. It was fucking puking. Probably snowed 6" in the 3 hours I was there.

Hope to get a few turns this weekend in between introducing my 1 year old to skis at Kirkwood. Looking forward to that but reckon I'll be missing some prime touring.

Rosey was pretty good this afternoon. Bouncy where its bumped out underneath but I had my 10 pre-scoped lines of smooth (half in the chutes) that delivered. Now...debating how to attack tomorrow and still cram in some work. Laptop in the lodge could be the correct call

I ain't even mad. If they keep it closed tomorrow (at least granite, Silverado, and headwall then open it on Thursday the getting will be good and hopefully not so crowded cause Bay Area folk still recovering from holidays.
I'm on 9 of 10 days on the hill so tomorrow will be a good rest.

^^^ I'm sure Mt Bachelor lift managers can explain how it happens...

DD, that ridge is VIsta, and it is good to go. Been so for a while. Once they open the t-bar it gets fucked. Too many people gaping their way down. Worst lift expansion ever, as it was only ever a short hike from the top of 2, or a ridge walk down from 4. Oh well.
A solid cell just moved through SC and is headed ENE. Hopefully we get some of that juice in Tahoe. Half an inch fell between 3:30 and 5:30. Rain just started to fall again. Grounds are super saturated. Good stuff.

It was full on downpour in Marin this AM. Perhaps we get an upside surprise.

Lake Tahoe 2015/16 - Year of Godzilla Baby Jesus
Shitty visibility at Alpine this morning and they finally closed Summit around 11 in a complete whiteout. Scott and Lakeview have been good though and you can actually see. Heavy snow but still fun.
The top 6 inches or so is not bonding well at all, go over anything steepish or rollovers and it just cuts loose in mini slab pieces. In other words, don't expect much to open at Squaw up top today (duh).

Northbowl chair is actually pretty damn good on a pow day. Right under the lift has a nice steeper double fall-line pitch and the boundary trees under Olympic chair ain't too bad either.
Friday at the Wood for me...can't freaking wait.
I probably won't venture too far into the BC but any of you fools been in West Shore at KW yet? Spur choked filled in? Upper Cham skiable? Need beta.
