TAHOE: LAND OF THE SNOWFLAKES -- 17/18 STOKE

[Huck Pitueee]

Only guy who had the balls to hit lookers right on the Y couloir with me Saturday. Hot pow in there.

Does anyone have suggestions about how to find out the lows last night at different Tahoe Basin locations? In past years I could do this on the Snowtel and NWS websites, but they have changed both websites and I can't seem to find the right links. In the past you could find links to data from remote websites and look at temperature by the hour for the past week or so. Is there anyway still to do this?

ottime: Ive been doing reverse traverse to the slot first thing then national chute to north bowl then some groomiez then the park... makes for a fun few hours on the hill!

[TahoeJ]

Do National and Main have much life left in them? How about Granite Peak?

[mcski]

National is fine. Main is a little spicey and I think technically closed. GC chair is done so that's a long haul up to chief peak from Shirley

[TahoeJ]

Thanks. Definitely sounds like multi-sport day time.

[mcski]

Definitely. MTB is starting to come in and should be good to go mem day weekend

NWS still has mountain top readings but they moved it. Go to the Reno office forecast https://www.weather.gov/rev/
Click on a town in the map which will show you the forecast for the week at that site. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on "mountain top and other remote".

Do you know where you can get remote data for dinner if the peaks in the East side?

Saw this after, but hit Slot around 9:15 and CII maybe around 10. Never made it up the palisades. Tried my proper ski boots for the first time since ankle surgery. Foot is still a bit big for that boot. Kept me from hiking again until I went to the car to switch out liners. By the time I got back up Sibo, foot feeling good, Palisades were closed. RT on Shirley toward Granite was fun today. Glad I got out. Will be back Saturday with the 7 year old.

I was crushed.

Lots of data, but not a ton in the high mountains. Great for winter season conditions, especially in Tahoe:

Between Mammoth and Slide Mtn, you can get a pretty fair idea of upper elevation winds and temps. Rule of thumb, about -3 °F/1000 ft (except in some very windy cases where mixing is very good), so 40s at Mammoth means it might have froze at 14K.

Thanks, this helps

Cool. I’m sure we will see you. We will both be in orange pants.

Man, the melt off at KW has been intense. You care barely ski back down to the lifts.



Windy afternoon in the Central Valley. Seemed dust bowl like. Pretty breezy up here. Upper 30s. Stars. Expect a freeze tonight.

[mcski]

My "Facebook memories" have been flooded everyday this past week w epic powder from the spring 2011. Ugh.

[skier666]

Anyone at Mammoth over Memorial Day? I'll be there with a recovering sprained ankle and all. Been a busy month of no skiing...moving, birthdays, injuries, little league, damn kids...AND I NEED TO SKI DAMNIT!

Ok, so my 2 & 9 year old will be in tow but its a boys trip. haha

[tahoearmada]

I thought snow levels were like 9k? https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/rev/avalanche/

666, you guys moved after that monster remodel? Damn. Good luck with the healing, and hope you get your fix.
