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

**TahoeBC** · 12-16-2020, 09:10 AM

I busted up Laughing a couple days ago as I was heading into BevMo this guy walks out in a shiny white jacket carrying his box of white claw and then hopped in his Tesla, really wished I hadn’t left my phone in the car.

Friend of mine in mammoth says town is really cracking down on hotel/vacation rentals, says it’s pretty quite in town.

South lake isn’t enforcing anything at the moment as far as I can tell, riding a chair at S@T 2 days ago dude who joined our chair was bragging how he had no problem getting a room the night before and a massage.

I hear for an extra 50 bucks the masseuse will inject you with Covid directly. ;-)

Wait can we just go back to the part where they installed artillery at red lake??

That's one way to deal with your parking lot pooper, tho seems a little overkill.

Yeah that's pretty awesome. Is this at the east shore of the lake? Would they be firing at the south face of RL peak?

**powdork** · 12-16-2020, 07:41 PM

yes indeed. although it would be really cool to try and skip one off the lake in the summer too.

**bonewrenched** · 12-16-2020, 10:56 PM

Right? That would be great fun... er... practice

**shakyknees** · 12-16-2020, 10:57 PM

They haven't needed the LoCats for several years, but all of a sudden they're needed during a drought?

Given that the Sheriff of El Dorado County is refusing to enforce the stay-at-home order, maybe CalTrans is taking matters into their own hands.

That's a good one.

No spousal (s)/ kid crying arguments. A-holes riding you for 1.5 miles. Vons denuded. Race punks and cig smokers...

Been nice

**powdork** · 12-17-2020, 01:20 AM

this thing coming at us is starting to look fairly impressive.

If it did, it must have moved through quickly. We got the expected 2" here but mountains are all 3-4". Still coming down lightly, but not in an accumulating way.

**powdork** · 12-17-2020, 09:42 AM

WE WON!!!!

**old goat** · 12-17-2020, 09:59 AM

I hear bombs

**Ottime** · 12-17-2020, 11:23 AM

Mammoth reporting 9-11”. For a storm that was supposed to fizzle further south, it looks like they won.

**Powcruzer** · 12-17-2020, 11:35 AM

2 outta 3 slipped south. La Niña is a hoax.

I just cleared 6+ out of the driveway. Seemed like it was training over Meyers a bit cause it's more than Kirkwood got. And it's been dumping for the last half hour.
Betting Sierra is money.

**davjr96** · 12-17-2020, 02:19 PM

Checking the cams and Summit at Alpine and Siberia at Squaw are both spinning... Not open or loading but that is a promising sign.

**TahoeBC** · 12-17-2020, 03:27 PM

I’d say close to a foot in spots at Sierra, skied bottomless, close to 8” in Xmas valley

**gimpy** · 12-17-2020, 04:18 PM

6-8" top kbury........3-4"of light over a dense sponge........perfect lowtide storm...........should be set us up nicely if the evil E stays away even if no more storms 7-10 days out
