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

Still working things out with the mom boss, but I think we will be having a boys trip as well, skiing Sunday w the 7 yr old, recovering from a broken ankle. Wear orange pants if you really want to fit in with our steeze.

Anybody using their newly purchased sqauwalpine Icon passes yet at mammoth? What's the protocol? Ticket window or are they supposed to just work as a pass?

Doesn't help sfbay peeps this weekend, but tioga is scheduled to open Monday

^^ You must go into ticket office sign a few papers and they will issue you a
Mammoth only IKON pass for the rest of the season. You have to download
your pass pic this summer and they will mail you the real pass in the fall. Enjoy!

I have a pretty great view of Mt. Rose ski area and the Tamarack/Relay area from my home. Slide still looks skiable, don't know how thin some spots might be but I'd be surprised of the Rose side isn't solid coverage.

Fireplug face is burned as is the south face of Incline. Proletariat looks to be getting thin but definitely skiable. Hourglass is holding and Relay's SE side looks good to go. Broken glass and other north facing lines I'm sure are good.

ugh I sure was wrong
it was 3-8" of sticky slop... even at 10,000 it was extra grippy
we just need a hard freeze now that its smooth again for a proper corn harvest

**MTT** · 05-17-2018, 04:47 PM

I was wondering what you guys would get up there. from down here @ 5000 feet it's obvious that it snowed last night. Never good for a corn cycle. These late season storms the past few years have really messed up the corn skiing.

Rode fine at 4:00 yesterday. Plenty of cover on a west aspect.

**margotron** · 05-17-2018, 07:35 PM

visiting dad in reno on monday/tuesday. Looks like it is supposed to rain. Any local beta on this incoming warm front / storm?

**tahoearmada** · 05-19-2018, 08:37 PM

squaw was super nice again today
where is everyone?

**Ottime** · 05-19-2018, 09:23 PM

Asilomar today. Santa Cruz tomorrow. We are gonna escape to Mammy for a day tho.

**jorion** · 05-20-2018, 04:11 PM

Is there not wind down there? The winds have been insane in the Bay Area for the past week. Maybe I should quit surfing and take up kite boarding.

**TahoeJ** · 05-20-2018, 05:14 PM

I’m in SC / Aptos right now and it’s windy AF. Nice dirt on the trails though. Nice thing about mountain biking as opposed to skiing and surfing, there aren’t really bad conditions... unless it’s pouring rain I suppose.

You just go early or late...

**mcski** · 05-20-2018, 06:18 PM

Crazy windy in the city this weekend too. Probably blew piss back on a lot of bay to breakers runners trying to sneak a leak too

Windy as fuck. I don’t surf much on the weekends anyway. Had to be in Asilomar for family stuff and checked out Carmel. Small. Up until Wednesday was great, but Wind picked up early Thursday. Surf is clean in town (S/SE facing). So if you need to get wet, there are options. I’m waiting until Tuesday or Wednesday when the next south fills in and the wind backs off a bit.

Nice thing about the central coast is it is never that hot. Okay, very rarely. But then you just sip a beer at the beach on that day every five years

**ski_trader** · 05-21-2018, 12:17 PM

does anyone have any advice on finding a ski lease at kirkwood for the 2018-2019 season? i'd like to rent a condo/house for my family for all of next season. the kw real estate office has promised to let me know if they find anything, but didn't inspire much confidence. if you have advice for finding a place in SLT, that would be appreciated too. thanks for any help.

**emcee** · 05-21-2018, 12:41 PM

been out of the game for a few weeks -- where is the snow line in the basin now?

**old goat** · 05-23-2018, 10:20 PM

Golly gee, that sure is some weird weather we've been having, doncha know.

**Westmeister** · 05-23-2018, 10:55 PM

Morels be poppin, best rainy spring in a few

**NorCalNomad** · 05-24-2018, 10:07 AM

Hows the skiing at Squaw right now? Thinking of coming up this weekend to do just milage touring/ ski squaw/ climb some rock.

**TurxSki** · 05-24-2018, 01:33 PM

SV?
I hear all the cool kids are heading to Mammy this weekend.
Passes (mountain, and season).
