Just saw that slide footage on Snowbrains. Wow. That's crazy... lucky dude. Glad he's OK. We were there that day... I think we skied right through his avy debris...
Anyway, that was an awesome day...
Could only pull off a 1 day trip... how's the conditions up there? Wet?Last edited by telek; 01-21-2016 at 11:58 AM.

nice!
today was a pleasant surprise. more fresh snow than expected. looks like it snowed down to at least 5k ft at some point late in the storm (at least on the western slope).
The helicopter's presence in searching for the kid was very eye opening because it was very noticeable. heartbreaking. i hope he is found soon.

Looking for a touring partner for Wednesday if anyone's interested? Looks like it should be a nice weather day. Obviously caution and a conservative approach with the current setup. I'm open to skiing anything that makes sense and is safe. Shoot me a PM if interested.

KW delivered today. Had 4 runs off the top with my 10yr old nephew. He wanted to start with Cham, so it was not a bad beginning. Then I had four off 5 with my 7yr old nephew and my son. So much fun watching them in the powder. Got a good work out picking up my son. Gotta love the harness.
Pali and backside were still closed when I left around noon. Did they eventually open?
Pali was closed all weekend. Figured it was due to the rain on Saturday and fear of wet slides. Today it seemed weird that they went to work on the backside and did not yet have Pali open.

Pali was utter windstripped, refrozen garbage last weekend, the worst conditions I found anywhere at KW. I imagine it's very slide-prone right now.
Bunches of fun at Vailwood the last few days. Oodles even.

Lots of small slough slides out of Gate 2 at Sierra. Anything over 35 deg slid and propagated throughout the immediate area. Breaking 6-10" deep 10-30' across.

I skied a few laps of some soft served ice cream during the snain storm Saturday afternoon and skied over some avalanche debris beneath the chute as drawn. The closed signs were in place on Saturday, but I have no idea if they were closed on Friday. The snow pack has filled in significantly to a mid-season feel, and separate from avalanche hazards, there's enough snowpack to open the Palisades now.

Maybe just part of the zone was closed and part was open? And the idea being that if people aren't going to respect the closure then fuck it we'll close the whole zone? I'm completely guessing of course as I am not familiar with the intricacies of SB at all.
In a similar vein, think about the Palisades at Squaw and when they choose to open them. Do they ever open on weekends anymore regardless of conditions? Too many from the B&T crowd making their jobs harder. I'm not even sure but is that no weekends deal actually official policy now?Last edited by TahoeJ; 01-19-2016 at 05:21 PM.

It's getting very rare, but they do occasionally open it up on the weekend. Seems like a lot of concern is around keeping tourons on the traverse from getting straight lined in their poopenhausen. Other than spring, it seems to be limited to short sessions when the snow happens to be good on sat or sun.

I hope they don't close sb palisades permanently this season. It's looking very good to go at the moment. Better than other years than when its already open.
It's surprising that homeboys shared a video of them poaching. Didn't a mag on this site get some super bad shit from kirkwood for doing less.

Anyone make it upto rose today? Way to wet and heavy on the summit. Hoping that relay might be high enough for some decent turns
