[TurxSki]

There is a MtBohemia thread on here that gives truthful insight.

No man we skied a steep couloir loaded with 2-4' of thick snow in the high alpine after widespread facet issues, why would we dig a pit?

[TahoeBC]

Everything out there above 9k is totally spackled.
Jeff - Was that yer skin track I ran Into yesterday up here?

No but I did have some friends head that way the day before you and got turned around because of visibility and last Sunday Abe G got the middle one on what looked like surprisingly decent snow.

Nice Score, saw a pic from your mission yesterday looked deep

I assume this is sarcasm, but it's hard to tell.

Colorado is reportedly far worse than Tahoe right now. If you're going to be satisfied with groomers, you'll probably be OK here. Set your expectations low.

Yeah, my bro that works at Vail says it sucks out there. He tells me “You don’t know how good you have it .”
Ain’t great here, could be way worse.

Indeed... It's time to ski what we have and look on the bright side. Slalom skis coming out Sunday

Ba's blog is reading like porn this am
Winds were shaking house at 7.7k last night and this am the snow mostly showed the result. Some soft pockets of depo but generally windfuk.

Heads up - seeing lots of posts on vehicle break-ins on Mt. Rose Hwy at the Tamarack pull-out over the last week. Reports suggest it might be a red Tacoma.

Git the basterds 'n string em up.

What or whose blog is that? (Since mother nature isn't putting out at the moment, porn sounds nice.)

[TurxSki]

My guess is Bryan Allegretto

After beginning the season with high pressure and rain, the possibility of getting over a foot of snow looks like hard core porn . Bring it on cause we need it. I am sure it will dump good because I will be out of town.

[old goat]

FWIW S aspects at AM were soft at about 11 today. Where no one had skied there was a thin, easily breakable easily turnable crust.

It's not so much the foot storm next week but the return to a kickass winter pattern in play for the foreseeable future

Heads up to Peninsula mags:

Any Mountain in Redwood City has some good prior season stuff on sale, including 190 Squad 7s and 179 Pettitors for $270.

yo PLEASE report back w/ conditions. Thinking about heading up this weekend, too

Skied Shasta today. Went up avalanche gulch, to Helen lake. Got there around 8:30. Continuos ice chunks falling. Since I got hit by one three years ago in the same spot, I decided that it wasn't worth it to continue.

Snow was really firm, edgeable though. Firm from wind, I think, but there were a few sun glazed spots as well.

Good coverage, skinned from bunny flat.

If not for the ice bits falling, I would've skied Trinity chutes, they looked awesome, but of course all the rocks were covered in ice or snow, so I think the ice fall will continue for a bit.

West face looked good too, and maybe safer.

Actually, felt like a wimp for turning around, the ice chunks looked kind of mellow, zipping by me. But then I thought, if these were rocks, I would've turned around a long time before.
And ice chunks hurt as much as rocks.



Lassen North side looked good too, there looked like it avalanched, not 100 percent sure though.

Lassen could be a slog though.

Indeed. If the pattern continues like next week we are good to go whether it be a foot, 5 feet, or 6 inches... Active es bueno

Skied Shasta today.

Wrong thread, but thanks for the beta.


Waa waaaa


There is hope

You can tell it's the wrong thread--there's snow in the picture.

[Dhelihiker]

Finally I found the right thread
I skied Shasta, I said fuck you the ice fall, I got hit by one nearly hit by several. Skied 5k of perfect corn. I don’t the chutes are skiable from the top without a rappel.

[TahoeJ]

Is it Friday yet? Actually, Thursday could be a pretty fun storm day too.

[Ottime]

Plans set in place to be skiing w/o family on Fri/Sat. Ankle feeling good. Can’t wait. Hope my legs hold up for a full day of fun.
