Josh Daiek is a way better skier than me
I know trains are cool and all but the amount of crushing stacked into this video is seriously impressive.
Got to love some local (ish) stoke.

I'm delighted to see my monorail post sparked a lively positive discussion about rail transport to/in the basin.
But y'all missed the fucking point.
MONORAIL, not down the 89, or along the lake.
Replace the rim trail, monorail on the ridges FTW. Peak to peak gondolas are so 1970s, step up the game and be the future!!

I know the guy who filmed that and I can assure you he used a helium-filled balloon with a GoPro taped to it and then a very long piece of string. ;-)

I'm thinking build a four lane huge road from 267, right through Martis Camp that heads for the big meadow near the 06 road. Build a huge parking lot there and a monorail from there that goes to Squaw, Alpine and Tahoe City bus terminal. Maybe just pave over the whole Lahontan golf course for parking?

Its 2020...where's the flying cars?
On the train issue, a dad at my daughter's school was really looking into a possible private train setup to Truckee from the Bay. Don't think anything came out of it but I'll ping him to see what he found.

trains are cool and all but when are we going to start flying in to SLT on 737s again?

One would have to convince the freight rail companies that it’d be economical for them to allow a private passenger train in that corridor.... or convince them to run the passenger trains themselves....
There’s that cool city aerial train thing in “run Lola run.” That’d be neat along the 89 corridor.

If i still lived in the bay I'd be betting the next best evolution of the slog to Tahoe will be a fully autonomous ride up where I can take a nap, snuggle the hottie, watch a movie, have a few cocktails while never looking at the road and have in n out dropped through the sunroof by a drone without stopping.

You know what's crazy is that Lyft started as ZimRide, and ZimRide's initial carpool program focused on ride-sharing to and from Tahoe. I met one of the founders when that was still ZimRide's focus, and thought "wow, Tahoe carpooling - what a cool idea."
Turns out it wasn't that profitable. And I'm a dummy for not begging homeboy for a job.sproing!

The Official 19/20 Tahoe Ski Snowboard Thread. Plus bonus Bootfitting Recs!
I know Blue Lakes area is closed. And I know state fishing season has been delayed until May 31 in Alpine Inyo Mono counties

Sounds like a phony flex IMO. Not sure they can just change state-wide SAR billing policy on the fly like that. I know there was a bill proposed several years back that was shot down. I believe they can charge a different county in the state if that's where the person being rescued is from. But not the individual.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Haven't been out skiing in a couple weeks, been dedicating myself to long neglected home improvement projects.
Anyone getting out want to chime in on the magical corn hour on N facing above 8K feet today?
