No troughs yesterday to worry about, but definitely some sharks if you weren't paying attention

Upper mountain at Squaw today was good. Heavy chalk and creamy windbuff in some spots, smooth and chunky in others.
North facing aspects off the top of Headwall were the jam.
Skipped riding over by Shirley and Granite Chief because it was socked in with fog/clouds all day.
Lower mountain (we hit Sun Bowl around 1pm) was really, really chunky and gooey and pasty (especially that bowl down by the bottom of Headwall, next to the groomer/easy way down from KT).
Bailed at 1:30, mostly due to jacket malfunction (zipper broke and my jacket was flopping all over the place).
Good post-pow day though.
Hoping this next weather cycle delivers.
Funny about all y'all being over by Red Dog yesterday...I was lapping the area under that big rock outcropping in the saddle just before you get to the top of Far East during my stint on the hill.

How many people have been skiing AM. I get that it sucks, but as stated, Vail set the bar pretty damn low. While they are still operating the Heave, ya gotta access via the Gondi to ride two short not steep east facing lifts. Most spring days that shit is cooked by the time you offload your first chair.
All things being equal, I’d rather they spin Summit over KT. I think. I used to love spring skiing at AM off of Summit. $29. Groomers first thing, then ridge hikes skiers right, then to High Yellow, then Keyhole, followed by bumps when things got too heavy. Perfect. At Squaw ya gotta go all over the place timing the lifts. And the groomers kind of blow there. So short.
Anyway, better than not spinning KT.
Why they don’t keep AM open one more weekend is perplexing as I’m sure it things will be more crowded next weekend.

fuck them. i went there cause it was the last day and now i have to do it all over again!
just kidding it was a blast. completely worked after four runs but it's getting better and i'm cleared for skiing again on 6/18 so i wanna be ready for that.
went in search of corn up red lake peak main gully today and found it but got turned around early with a broken dog nail.
doesn't really matter cause tomorrow is another pow day, but the corn had set up but with intermittent sticky spots and it was schmoovepowdork.com - new and improved, with 20% more dork.

OFFICIAL TAHOE 18/19 STOKE, CONDITIONS, WEATHER THREAD
There and KW. Late spiting I prefer KW for its mostly north facing steeps. OTOH, inversions can fuck up the overnight freeze. Summit@AM offers way more varied terrain, and the groomers are longer for early morning firm. So I guess it is better spring skiing, as different aspects soften at intervals thru the day.
Killing it at the pass gents. Can’t believe how fat crescent looks.

Damn... looks like this would have been a great day at Squaw. "Cold" temps and no sun.

How were the temps? Snow wintery... and better yet, staying wintery? Forecast is showing temps staying at freezing or slightly below into tomorrow morning.
