I heard about the avalanche death in the Rubies, but know no details. Called Ruby Heli last week, and they said they were going through a major avy cycle that basically mirrored what Utah has been experiencing. Said they had seen "Hundreds of 2, 3, 4 sized natural avalanches across the range".

What we saw this weekend was the facet layer improving through melting and consolidation (where we were at least). Snow was very good.

Wow. Kind of hoping to see what happens behind doors number 1, 2, or 3 below.

Wow. Kind of hoping to see what happens behind doors number 1, 2, or 3 below.

Nothing too crazy, since the nearest hospital (battle mountain?) isn't even exactly close, and basin snowpack is often thin...



I'd also recommend this recap for anyone interested. Conor has been killing it on the media end.

[powdork]

That was worth watching.

[jorion]

Love it

[frorider]

Great vid. Liked the mud scraping with a stick side note.

[oldskibum]

Beautiful edit

[climberevan]

That was worth watching.

Indeed.. That was a great video!

I spend a ton of time on bike and moto trips out there every year, but aside from skiing Patterson a couple of years ago I just never get it together. Central NV is very cool, though.

Central Nevada stoke for the win! Love it!

[Wobby]

thanks for the positive feedback all. Glad to see the hype on our missions in East East Tahoe.

Great vid. Liked the mud scraping with a stick side note.

Mud is wicked out there right now, almost got ridiculously stuck on Saturday night. "Trenchtown" is both a ski condition and road condition apparently.

That's a really well-edited vid. I could see that in the BC film fest or Banff.

By the way, anyone know this guy? He was first in line at KT @ Squaw on Sunday.

[powdork]

Took a tour to the lake on Sunday, which was fun porn


And was pleasantly surprised with the soft conditions today. Disclaimer- Found a few spots where the soft and not soft looked identical


and oh my god the biking (gets the knee loose in the morning)

[TahoeJ]

Great video. Your friend has some legit editing skills.

Now THAT is some STOAK!! I'm feeling it - thanks bud

PD, gimpy - awesome stuff as usual - thanks for sharing peeple!

Loved that mellow pow cycle the last couple weekends - found some new zones, explored stuff I've never skied at the Resort before. I think 90% of the time, I like the small storms better at the ski area - less feverish excitement, no friends driving/flying in from Washington or Wyoming, much less the BA-driven Bay Area madness, ski onto KT at 9:15, then ski pow everywhere all...day...long

Give me 8" anytime!!

[Ottime]

^^^^absolutely.

I think it was 14/15 where we barely got a 12” storm all winter and I skied endless ghost town powder days of 8” and no lift delays. Fucking brilliant.

[GoSlowGoFar]

Give me 8" anytime!!

Insert obligatory Michael Scott "That's what she said" joke here.

Powdork. I watched a YouTube video last night where you jacked up your leg.

Is that recent? Are you out of commission

I think I figured it out. Youtube just decided to push out an old one in the recommend feed.
