OFFICIAL TAHOE 18/19 STOKE, CONDITIONS, WEATHER THREAD
Ski week means, Truckee/marin/Mendocino etc school districts close down. Groms everywhere! Just like spring break but for skier families.
Hence me staying home this midweek to ride mtb. Then resuming midweek pow hunting next week, tue looks sweet if BA is accurate.Drink to remember not to forget!

Several years ago i was skiing spring corn off the back side of heavenly. Snow/dirt line was about 7500K feet. When I stopped to put on my skins and a guy comes up to me asking how to get to the lift. I told him it was uphill to Mott chair or several miles hiking down the dirt road to Minden. I'm guessing the walk out took him most of the day as well as ruined his ski boots.

Ski week article on sfgate: https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/artic...A-12638966.php
Heav won't be bad midweek, lifts open 8:30 so if you want a nice parking spot get up there before 7:30 for stagecoach, 8 for the other lots. Ski the top (sky, dipper, comet) in the morning then head lower once those lifts become a cluster.
Overheard so many beaters on the lifts and in town talking up doing the minden mile lately, it'll end badly for somebody if it hasn't already.

Looking for knee doc recommendations in the Tahoe area. I'm in Tahoe City, but don't mind heading a little further out for better and hopefully cheaper care.

South Lake is down a Orthopedic surgeon since Banner passed away. Getting a Appt might be a bit slow for Orr.
Jeff Cummings in Carson Valley is very good, fixed up my girlfriends knee last season and will be doing mine next week.

Grubbers
6 or 7 knee repairs combi in the family, my picks would be:
1. Dr Shonnard in south Reno.
2. Dr Dodd in Truckee if you want to stay closer to home.
They both do a shitload of knee repair. Good luck with it."if you plant ice, you're gonna harvest wind..."

Where is everybody? I drove out to carson pass for a tour and the usual BC parking pull-outs were mostly empty. Finished out the day at Mott canyon with no lines and secret pow stashes still all intact. I just wished I had more leg left.

The wood was good. Had two plans fall through. No matter. Just skied fresh lines all day inbounds. Holy refresh.
Trying to convince friends to drive out to KW tomorrow instead of staying in town. I know where I’m going.

Been asking myself the same question the past few days.
Today at The Star I basically rode right on to every lift...no lines.
Pretty much every run I did with the 5 kids in my charge was empty, too.
Easy commute home to boot.
Hell, even 89 to Squaw (at least from Donner Pass Road to West River) this morning at 7:15 was empty. WTF?
FWIW, I skied on some 165cm 13m radius slalom skis today.
If you really want to know how good of a skier you are, then ski something like this on a semi-pow day.
They were pure ecstacy on the groomers, though.
I may take 'em out again tomorrow just to abuse myself.

Fuck injuries.
No one at the wood all week. Today was especially empty.
Found a line that skied really well in Thunder Saddle today. Went back and put tracks right next to mine. No one else around.
