Ya'll are so grumpy I thought I logged into the Jackson or Montana thread. Jeez. We had how many weeks straight of amazing conditions? Best run in a decade? And since Thursday (as in three days ago) it has kind of sucked. But Tuesday and Wednesday were some super fun powder skiing.
As Powdork pointed out, there are probably a few clean lines at CP already. Another wet storm will smooth out more.
We will have high and dry spring soon enough. I for one would prefer cool and breezy as we move into May keeping that corn window open longer. And a refresh every few weeks.
But I get it. Had fun skiing Sun-Thurs this past week, but Sunday was my favorite. Overnight freeze, and warm, but not hot, afternoon. Slight breeze. Perfect snow wen we hit the snow at 1:15, and was still great when we called it at 3:45. I am looking forward to spring, but almost never say no to fresh snow. Even heavy snow can be fun to ski, especially for jumping off things.

took the dogs for a skin behind the house and the corn was good enough i had to divert the skin to a small hill where i got in 15 very nice turns. low elevation is already corning up and i'm guessing the entire east side of the lake is doing the same.

Saying hopefully it doesn’t rain next week is considered grumpy? Damn, it’s getting soft around here. (Storms have been waffling so there’s a decent chance much of it will indeed miss Tahoe)
I ski 135 degree chutes switch to the road.

Also stayed low today and in the morning it was quite nice. It got a bit sticky in the afternoon but that’s to be expected for April. Like others said, I think we got so spoiled by the amazing conditions this season that good conditions seem just meh. This may not be the biggest season for snowfall but for conditions is one of the best I remember.

Well, just because I’m stuck at home today not skiing or surfing, I’ll point out, technically speaking, that is not what you typed. To lazy to go back and quote, but is started with a wish for just sunshine. You never mentioned rain, or snow.
Being an essentially selfish, and honestly so, person who only gets to ski about one period (1-7 days depending) every two weeks, this last cycle worked out fine, and expect things to be repaired prior to Easter, when I’ll next ski. So I don’t need to wait out the poor stretch right now. I even enjoyed skiing groomers Thursday morning, cause it felt kind of like winter, but much warmer. But after two hours, I was ready to go. It would be worse if I lived up there and had daily opportunities. Even worse if I was headed back to work within the month.
But from my deck over looking a calm Pacific with a moderate winter swell hitting the first week of April, after two plus months of epic skiing conditions, I can’t be too bummed about what happens to the snow this next week, because I have faith in the second. And these storms are exactly what is keeping the swells pumping and not allowing the usual spring NW wind flow to develop.
Anyway, and just being an e-dick cause I’m mostly watching kids, cleaning house, making dinner and organizing my work week so I can get into the water Monday. And until that happens, we’ll, I’ll pick e fights where ever I can get them.
Btw, thinking of spending on the ikon. If that happens, I’ll be praying for corn season. And I’ll ask you to show me around. Kind of stoked on the idea of skiing Squaw and Mammoth not on the day ticket dealio.
And while I’m on the long ass post, had so much fun skiing last week. The runs with my kid were pretty damn fun. I got to keep reminding myself to not make him just lap 10, cause he can. But he develops a lot more off mellower terrain. And the day I had him in ski school (btw, Tim did a great job) I had a blast lapping Sentinel and Pali. Just fresh creamy lap after fresh creamy lap. Crossing a track here or there, but most runs not. Fun to be there when it is empty and most people don’t know where they are going. Shark fin and cave huck, and a few to the left of Dan cliffs are the only rock left out that side of the hill.
If your still reading, a little rain down low doesn’t bother me, as long as things stay pertty above 8K. I want to lap and skin chair 10 again this June with perfect corn to (what was) the ice rink.

You guys talk as if your opinions about spring conditions matter. Ma Nature doesn't care. She will do what she will do. Kind of like our wives.

Nuking winds today, could hardly stand our ground much less even take a look into our intended line, retreated to lower angle and more protected and skied pretty much corn, fun enough. Girlfriend got delayed an hour and 1/2 coming back from Sierra for avalanche control, they opened traffic back up and shortly after she got though lots of emergency vehicles started heading up echo. Word on the street is two cars got buried in another wet slide, still closed. Same thing happened to me a few days ago, got delayed at the summit to clear slides, they let us go and on the way down I watched a slide come down and completely blocked the west bound lane, car coming the other way stopped just in time, was able zip by while it was piling up higher

^^^^I can imagine there is so much snow up there, that wet slides could be a concern for some time. When I was going over echo this winter, after a storm, with some wind loading, I saw at least two natural stuffs, or really mini avalanches, with 1-2" crowns, break and slide onto the rode as I was heading into the basin. It was pretty damn light and made more of a cloud than anything, but still a bit concerning as I watched them release and come right at me.
I don't, but it was pretty damn stacked a month ago. Jealous of whatever mission you are planning.
