[TurxSki]

Saw the new TGR flick at Squaw last night...

Bollox! That went totally under my radar.
Where is FilmTour420 when you need him?

Seems like we're already posting new season stoke. Maybe we should just keep this thread going until the next drought? I can edit the title...

That's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, if'n ya know what I mean....

If I didn't have all those things and break my ankle on Wednesday, I'd be there too.

Goddamn we're some serious fucking dorks.

Speak for yourself. Oh wait, you are.

Nice job on bluebird TAY at Carson Pass! Man I already miss South Lake ... all 3 parties who skied Sisters were friends of mine, funny to compare the various photos on fb/tgr/instagram!

Moving over to alpine meadows this weekend and I'm very excited to be a part of the hood.

[TurxSki]

Congratulations. And good luck.
We enjoyed our time there last season

I think you mean "this season", unless Dookey decreed the Rubicon passed.

Alpine was a ghost town this winter? The parking lot would be full by 9:30, including the lots down the road.

I mean, sure, people aren't flocking to the end of chalet road, I guess.

Welcome. What neck of the hood?

No.
It is more that it made us sad that those condos are so underutilized in Winter.
We only met one guy who was living there full-time for skiing, but actually prefered SV.
He moved over from there to AM as it was too busy in summer.
And one dude who ran his electrician biz from there.
So 2 full time residents + us = ghost town, imho.

Ok right. The year I was there I only met people from one other condo. Kind of a waste for such a great location but at least the parking was never an issue. :-)

Just dont piss off the plow guy, right?

Just saw on a Kirkwood community FB page that 7800' is no more

S/E face of Basin Peak was mad busy today: me + 2 random snowboard chicas and their dog.

Snow was a weird combo of fresh leftover splotches and compacted slush/ice/hardpack from 16/17 season. Yet it was surprisingly edgeable. Windy and overcast, but otherwise pleasant.

Guessing the swatch will hold, so not a bad option for those hunting for October turns (though I think Carson Pass up near Round Top and East Bowl is still a better bet in terms of pitch and length of the runs. Basin is pretty mellow. Still, nice views of the area and a moderate hike make for good skiing).

Figure 8'd about a 1/4 of the patch and then skied all the way down the side hill. Shortest run: 7 turns; Longest run: 18 turns.

I'm guessing there aint a chance in hell, but figured I'd post it up anyway...and it's not in the "Half a Pair" thread. A buddy lost a Spatula at Heavenly this winter - anyone find it? He says:

"I lost a Volant Spatula with Marker red and white bindings. I was about 800ft down from the gate behind Tamarack Lodge. I lost the ski in a concavity feature. it was lost January 21st. Pin drop: https://goo.gl/maps/HFJYXf6DJ972 "

He guessed it was on "Raley's Ravine or Firebreak" but he doesn't really know the names.

Anyway, it's a damn Spatula, so figured it was worth a shot! He went looking for it this weekend to no avail.

I'll ask my bro that patrols there.

Party of 5-sized crew on the frontside of "The Nipple" apres noon today. Overcast and chilly, with a light snow falling from the sky. Snow was bruschetta-style: crusty and soft, edgeable here, not so much there, freezing up as the day got colder.

[NorCalNomad]

That count as skiing on new snow? :P

Side note, anyone skied or been near Mt. Lassen recently? I remember looking at the cam a few weeks back and it still had a ton of snow.
