THE OFFICIAL 20/21 TAHOE SKI & SNOWBOARD THREAD. PANDEMIC SCHMANDEMIC!

[Mokomahonah]

Good to meet you guys.
Dreamy tracks coming down R.
Two of our party of three stayed dry on the creek crossing. Somebody didn't get their ski far enough across...

[Paul Blart]

Love the shot of the creek crossing. Commitment.

Looks like a rescue operation more than a creek crossing

Edit - oops just saw mokomahonah’s explanation

[gimpy]

While we haven’t had many days of over the shoulder conditions this season ...... it’s been the year of the reliable pow carpet. Just about every time we only get a few inches.....tracks reset and it skis bottomless on north aspects and loaded gullies. I don’t recall a single dust on crust day this year

Strong work everyone that’s sharing in the groove ++++

Deep graupel today......cool different sliding experience.....icy ball bearings that skied like super fast cold pow

[mr. hankey]

Teledad, onehotchilli, sorry to read that it was your friend that passed. Condolences.

Nice work and great pics Mokomahonah!
And the same for the trifecta by AK and Doc:
I agree Gimpy. This year Tahoe has been pretty memorable. Lots of great days (not as many as you tho )

[jorion]

Epic stuff, thanks for sharing!

Also really sad to hear about yet more tragedy this season.

[rod9301]

I really hope you're not the fucker that removed my driver side mirror a few weeks back, passing in the shoulder while both lanes on 80 were at a standstill.

I thought it was legal to drive in the emergency lane, if you're in a hurry.

Moko, looks like your got halls of God in gear conditions. One of my favorite couloirs in Tahoe.

it's also not technically the roadway, so you can legally operate a vehicle while intoxicated there. pretty certain that's what happened when 666 clipped mmm...pow!

[Ottime]

What did he have such a big mirror hanging off his car anyway?

For those season pass holders, Vail reduced their prices by 20%. Their official reason is “to make it easier for everyone to enjoy the mountains”. My guess is that the pass renewal rate after this Corona Virus ski season is not that great.

Totally agree.

I don't remember another year where small storms skied this well.

I have no words to describe how insanely good the snow was at Squaw today.

[lepistoir]

Totally agree.

Maybe 20/21 has you appreciating what you got?

I remember saying forever ago that once we have a base, we only need 8-14" storms every 3-4 days.

we all are.

[Ottime]

No way. I was super serious. Super duper serious. I am going to mammoth.

[dookeyXXX]

That last shot is $$$$$$

Technically they woulda had to straight line through their S-turns to make it $...

Not that any of y'all care, but Tuesday at The Star was a sweet somnambulistic surprise.
Monday night/early Tues snow created a soft blanket that covered the previous days crust completely. Ankle to boot deep in spots, plenty of untouched stashes in the trees, and the wind kept filling in my tracks all day. Total refreshment.

And to Gimpy's post above, N and HE have been the solid jam aspects this season, at least at the resort...

[chickendance]

Anyone else notice that Rose is apparently moving up its close date to April 18? I think all the other mountains seem to be closing more or less at the same as they do on normal years, but normally Rose spints lifts through at least the end of April, and usually into May. Is this a new policy, or a one-off "because of COVID" thing?

[Superstar Punani]

Love the shot of the creek crossing. Commitment.

And I think all ya tahoe locals and all y’all Bay Area yokels get in my way all over the place. On the road, in the lift lines and setting traverse tracks at the bottom of my straight line.

That’s why I’m going to mammoth next week. That will teach y’all.

I present you, Jabroni Alley. 3/20/21
