    Skied another random Nevada spot yesterday -Dogskin Mountain by Pyramid Lake. Really surprisingly good, with fantastic Mahogany Forest lines! The snowpack above 5,000 feet in NV is nuts right now.

    Check out the pics and TR if so inclined, and hope everyone has been having fun this weekend!

    Went up to Castle Peak today. Got dropped off at the rest area. Caltrans guy was there blaring his horn at another group warning them that they would be towed. Skin track was blocked off with caution do not enter tape, but we found a way around. Didn't see another group out there.

    Wind was howling. Mixed bag of conditions.

    I was saying the same thing to tBMSftS when we were out there last week. And when I ski under the radio tower, I call it radio tower, so it already has a fitting name. BTW, so many chutes filled in over there right now. Looks insane.

    Yeah, I thought north-facing trees around the corner from there would be good today but the wind got its tentacles on everything. Oh well, that won’t be an issue for very long will it?

    What a season, eh? Some Jake's stoke from Saturday.

    Time to kick the feet up and wait for more.

    Cold Snow in Tahoe gives me life

    More weather than expected at Squaw today so it was KT22 and Red Dog were where the action was. Snow was better than it had any right to be, bless actual winter temps, cloud cover, and blustery winds refreshing my runs. Red Dog glades were super fun. I think this is the most enthusiasm I have ever had for the lower bit of Squaw, happy ski times.

    High mostly north facing lakeview trees still held good powder. The transitional stuff was good if you hit it in the transition's sweet spot. And there is no Saxon Creek Peak

    I picked up one years ago... then another... and another... No regrets. Get yourself into an Avvy 1 course this season especially with this deep snowpack you'll get some great insight. Cheers!

    Rossingol Sushi split. I think it's something like 28cm in the waist and 40+ in the nose. Probably one of the widest splits on the market. You can see in the first clip around 11 seconds I almost get bucked because it's my first time on it this season and I wasn't prepared for the amount of energy it takes to get the thing on edge. Absolutely incredible to ride in fresh, the deeper the better. Skinning with it is tricky... on those blown out ice/off camber skin tracks it's a struggle, especially since my skins don't reach the full width of the bases.

    It's definitley not a good split to have as your only split but super fun to switch it up. Purchased for a trip to Japan where it was developed by Xavi.

    My other boards are more all-mountain directional twins, Prior BC and Burton Flight attendant. Both highly recommended. Prob more info than you wanted but I'm all amped up looking at storm totals for this week!

    KT is almost to that point in a few places. One of the local pros needs to build a kicker and jump over it. #hucktoflat
    TLDR; Ski faster. Quit breathing. Don't crash.

    I apologize for the sideways pictures. They are oriented correctly when I pull them from documents. I have a samsung s6 active. Any tips would be appreciated. Pictures are from yesterday (sunday).

    I think any photos that come straight off a phone will do that. I know I always have to "rerotate" and resave them on my computer to get them to correctly orient.

    Yep, this. If you load directly from your phone it's fine, but something gets screwy when saved to desktop.

    Storm this week keeps getting larger. Now looks like 4-8 feet by Friday.

    Got my godson on skis when he was 2. 11 years later, he is starting to rip. And he has hiker lungs. Or kid lungs. Don't matter.

    Here's what was going on at Northstar the other day: https://www.sierrasun.com/news/local...ift-for-hours/

    I'd be pretty pissed to get stuck up there for 3 hours! Seems like a major problem for a lift that's only a few years old.
