Naw.
I'm just afraid if I mentioned the name then all the non-local kooks would start going there and turn it into Squaw.

I think I just FOMO'd. Damn.

For those of you that were talking about Bay Area skiing (Mt. Diablo, Mt. Tamalpais, etc), do not forget Mt. St Helena above Calistoga.
It tends to get snow now and then.
Plus there's an easy access hiking trail and then a service road, so it could yield decent rural suburban turns with a great view of the Napa Valley to boot.

I boot-skied it once some 23 years ago, fwiw.

FWIW, interwebz is reporting it got to -2 in Truckee last night/this morning. Guessing that's in Martis Valley by the airport (which is where I've heard they have a temperature guage).

If it's the same incident I saw via a friend's Instagram earlier, that was Josh Daiek throwing the backflip over the road and the Caltrans guy was stoked and took his own video. lol... didn't see any CHP in the pictures. Pro photographer on scene so maybe we'll see it in Powder next year.

Considered by some to be the most under the radar skier in the U.S.

His Instagram is certainly a fun follow. Some great POV clips.

Holy moly...

Yesterday at squaw was, as advertised, one of those best kind of days. Reverse traverse provided the untracked, but sun going down at the end of the day on rockgarden was awesome. The snow and the granite and the rocks, tough to beat.

Stoke level is high in here right now! Love it!

Years ago I watched him line up a huge backflip off the top of Soul Searcher. Inspiring. Just sent it and stuck it.

The ten day Euro is showing monster snowfall numbers to very low elevations...

Great day at Sugar Bowl, the bowl that keeps on giving. Skied the super soft deep pow off Lincoln in the morning and then Crow's nest when it opened in the afternoon. Some long-time locals on the lift told me this was the best pow in memory.
