MAKE TAHOE DEEP AGAIN ~ 2016/17 OFISHUL SNOW/FOOD/WHINE & STOKE THREAD

[ski_faster]

Chair 6 just loaded at Kirkwood!

[4matic]

Is the road still closed? The locals earned it.

[TahoeJ]

You mean 5PM Tuesday?

Fuck, I know. If it doesn't pop up online as "in transit" soon I'm just going to bail.

I believe the road is still closed.

Maybe your skis are with this driver.

No kidding. Need something to do while you're waiting to be able to flush the toilet.

No way KT opens today. Maybe 12:30 tomorrow.

Wow, just saw it was updated to open today.

Nice to see Squaw opening KT early after a big storm. I guess it can be done :/.

Kudos for Kirkwood opening chair six too.

[TahoeJ]

Meanwhile at Granite Chief...

[neufox47]

No Squaw for you this year? I haven't seen Brad up yet this year - hopefully he makes it up this weekend!

Hey, Ill be there this Sat to Monday. Yea, hell be up here this weekend.

The Mellow Mtn Hostel is sweet. Nothing fancy but very clean queen room for 67. If the gondola was open it would be amazing.

Does anyone know if the west shore highway pullouts are shoveled/available? Once the Avy danger subsides all that terrain should be firing! It would suck to drive all the way there only to end up being one of the assholes that parks on the street inside the lines. Thanks!

[gimpy]

^^^ id suggest bringing a shovel with u. plowing pullouts is the last thing on the plow drivers minds right now

I drove out to pickets junction after riding Heav for a while. It's dire. Maybe pass opens tomorrow. They have one bore through the spur.

[MashedPotatoes]

pass is open just now as per Cal Trans 4matic.

Spur is the question for me.. Will it pop tonight?

Damn. I would have waited to get a few 6 laps. There is a chance spur opens tomorrow if it's sunny.

Heck I would have stayed at Kirkwood tonight.

My Rose highway closed in Incline at Fairview for dealing with abandoned cars buried in the snow.

Here are a few pictures from the third creek area neighborhoods







And here is the tree that kept kings beach in the dark until midnight last night:

IS REOPENED FROM 2 MI EAST OF KIRKWOOD (AMADOR CO) TO PICKETTS JCT (ALPINE CO) AT 1143 HRS ON 1/12/17

Curious what Caltrans means by reopened at 1143 HRS on a 2:32pm update? 4matic, when were you there?

Hardly anybody loading 6. Must be nice - lift powered heli runs.

edit 2 add - maybe it's not open to KW, only 2 miles east of there?

Man. That irks me. Caltrans and CHP were there at 11:45. I was parked and CHP headed East. The caltrans guy said not today and the few cats there scattered. WTF? I was prepared to wait till 2. Damn! Would have made my trip.

[MashedPotatoes]

yeah, you're right LSL.

"IS REOPENED FROM 2 MI EAST OF KIRKWOOD (AMADOR CO) TO PICKETTS JCT (ALPINE CO) AT 1143 HRS ON 1/12/17"

what is 2 miles east of KW that would block the road? weird.

I need a crystal ball.

[LongShortLong]

Might be a lie. The 1:52 update still said closed. Or maybe it opened and they updated later.

2 miles east sounds like the caltrans depot. Could be avies on that corner between Caples Lake and the Inn, where everyone likes to skid on the ice. /insert link to pileup in last year's thread
