A fair amount at Sugar Bowl today. But after a couple of runs I started seeking out the less steep stuff because it was a lot more fun to ski instead of scraping that icy bottom layer on every turn, which happened even in spots where it was wind-blown foot deep. Should have brought my powder skis.

The kayak surfing thru downtown Truckee during that one was epic! Cushing blue house flooded, casinos closed, REMSA flooded, and tons of gnar landslides up at the bowl. That was epic. I was living on the summit for that one......so much rain!!

What we had today was a flood of tourons ready for a big powder day. By 10:15 lines were out of the corrals at Schralpine and cars were being parked by Deer Park. They sold a lot of Ikon passes this year if ya did not know...

Today's condis at The Star were either nice-on-ice, fluff-on-scruff, dust-on-crust, or pow-on-ow, depending on your particular verbiage affinity.

Second consecutive visit to a low angle still closed for the season resort zone where we had to direct a rope ducking snowboarder how to get out of there. Dude today was drunk and took some convincing to not just keep riding fall line Which would have ended in a search and rescue operation for sure. Couple inches of fluff over a thin crust with 2’ of facets underneath making for horrendous booting conditions........ dumbass

People pay for forecast? Why would you do that when they are giving them out for free. I know this a manipulated free market but I don't get it. It's not going to be any better it's all just an educated guess. Maybe some people can read the government data better and having a 10 day forecast makes people feel good to pay for that speculation. I for one will never pay for weather guesses. I don't need to plan that far ahead.
When is someone going to do an avalanche forecast that is good for next week. Might pay for that...

I predict several Priuses with snapped ladder cables stranded on 267, at least 3 minivans backsliding on Northwoods, and one monster SUV wrecked somewhere on 80 between Blue Canyon and Donner Pass this week...

Northstar this morning was backed up almost to the Schaefer's mill light at 9.
Castle peak snowpark was full when I got there but somebuddy left right as I arrived. At least half of the vehicles are full of kids that won't last more than an hour so there's a good chance you'll get in even if it's full when you get there. It's still possible to drive up castle peak road and park at the gate too, at least through tomorrow. Maybe through Tuesday at the outside. I took a pic because I wanted to bitch about rubicon parking (if CHP can ignore this shitshow when it's obvious there's no interference with plows, why can't eel dorado sheriff tell rubicon Karen to go pick up trash?). After I took it tho, I realized CHP probably did have to get involved and tow somebuddy so that the folks parked up at the gate could get out.

God damn, maybe I should just get real chains. Then again, my ski buddy and I have been essentially isolating this whole time, the storm cycle might just be the time to carpool in the subie forester (famous last words).
Went for an xc ski up to woods lake today, on the way was behind a Mazda suv for a bit that had on too-big chains that were absolutely slapping. I mean jeez, the wheel wells of that suv have to be destroyed. Also why get an suv that doesn’t have awd/4wd?

If this train doesn’t derail.....I guarantee that it will be rated high or higher for at least weds if not wed and thurs......and it will prolly be accompanied by an avy advisory going out on local NOAA forecasts by Tuesday night. The local avy center knows the froth is real so it seems they pro-actively try to tame it at the onset of every storm forecast for storms measured in feet (smif)
Pray for smif!!!

I remember both those.
i moved up here in Summer 92 and that Christmas was the first time I was back in the Bay. I was watching MNF with my buddies and that was the last game Joe Montana ever played for the Niners. It was absolutely pissing rain at the Stick the 2nd half! The next day I left at 6AM to drive home, finally made it about midnight via Hwy 49. A long line of cars following the snowplow almost all the way from Downieville to Sattley. Then I had to shovel for an hour to get my truck off the street. A few days later we had that NYE storm you mentioned which dropped another several feet.
In 96 I was living in Jackson ("wettest Dec since the white man had been there" they said) and just about everything I owned was in a storage locker in south Reno. I'm watching CNN and see folks in rowboats in downtown by Harrahs & the Cal-Neva. Figured I was screwed but I chose a good location and my stuff was OK. A buddy of mine in Carson told me they were hiking the local hills and skiing bottomless pow a couple days before Christmas and then he drove over Rose on NYE and it was just plain raining hard all the way over the top. In Jackson it was about 40 in town on NYE, probably rarer than it being 40 below that time of year!
I'm not seeing anything close to being that juicy next week but at least by Feb we can hopefully have our real start to winter."The mind, once expanded to the dimensions of larger ideas, never returns to its original size."
