22 Blue - Looking ahead to the New (aka Fuck Summer (aka Tahoe Thread))

[Powcruzer]

Home for the holidays and tree skiing turned on in AZ. Merry Christmas Tahoe locs and lurks. Enjoy your holiday stashes!

Blizzard here at the wood. Somehow 6 has been running most of the day.



Merry Christmas to y’all.

[powdork]

merry xmas all. anyone know where I can get a test today?

[climberevan]

It just started nuking here in Carson. Luckily we did our little ski while it was only crazy windy. It was a rare hardshell day for me.

Merry Christmas Tahoe crew. Home in MN for the holidays and it's fuck cold with no snow.

[MashedPotatoes]

wow, all roads into the basin closed at least from the west. would not want to be in stuck in my car on 80 or 50 right now.

and why god why does the one commitment I have next week have to be on Tuesday when this cycle finally breaks, argg.

merry xmas mags!

[powdork]

with all the work they're gonna have to do I wouldn't be surprised if wednesday is THE day. It'll still be good anyway I doubt Kirkwood will see 25 degrees before Friday

[shakyknees]

Sorry to hear about the road closures, but with cold smoke piling up and no electrical outage (at my location at least), maybe Santa is real after all. Merry Christmas everyone!

Nuking snow in Galena tonight.

[MTT]

I just woke up from a long nap. It is really snowing now

Nice snow at 5000 feet. Must be cooking up higher

Nice to see they care about customer safety. They are lying cunts that will not open today.

[powdork]

They might get something open. Gunbarrel is currently spinning anyway and if they have power at Stage that's a good bet.

But this is why I think Wednesday could be the day instead of tuesday. Ops haven't been working at the tops of the mountains and likely won't again tomorrow. They're gonna have so much work and snow safety to get things going itll be ridiculous. And with the staffing levels and covid going around even longer.

I'm betting on Wednesday, now that I realize I won't be up till Wednesday. Thought I was flying home this afternoon, but that is tomorrow. Betting on Wed-Sat being pretty damn fun. Might even bring the touring gear for an excursion Fri/Sat. Paging Powdork if he passes his covid test.

Anyone know where I can pick up a SnoPark pass on the west slope these days?

KW closed for the day to dig out. But I thought there was more storm moving in this evening. So tomorrow will also be closed??

Do you guys have relatives from Chicago? When I grew up in Florida, Naples was the goto for Chicago and upper midwest retirees.


Also, just reading BA's forecast for the 10' of snow this week. Does anyone remember '97?

I remember ‘97. Skied Bear Valley after a three day 8’+ storm cycle, almost unskiable and terrifying bottomless. Like, I’m 6’4” and it was over my head and heavy if you fell. I think KW had a base of 288” at the summit.

Make good decisions, everybuddy!

[emcee]

They don't "sell out" of snopark permits, right? I don't have mine yet either

[powdork]

as far as I know they don't. If they do then Oregon's work too.

I don't see how they are being cunts? KW, Rose, AM, and Pali are closed today. Maybe you're the cunt to throw such strong words around like that? [emoji19]

I think he was referring to them inviting people up despite the fact that the're likely not to load anyone. But it's hard to tell since it was just a screenshot of his phone with zero relevant info.

[NakedShorts]

Amen Dork.

They were inviting sightseeing Ganjola riders this AM!

You can get a SnoPark pass at Amador station on 88 just past the 76/Ranger Station.

All roads still closed this morning although I wonder how hard the 50 "spinout" closure actually is. I have some friends trying to get out of South Lake..


I could maybe make Wednesday work possibly although it will cost me some points with the wife..

[powdork]

They're not getting out of SLT any time soon unless they're first in the miles long backup. Not sure what you mean by spinout closure though. They've been bombing all morning and Google is showing it closed from Pollock Pines.

[MashedPotatoes]

ouch well it's not like I didn't warn them it would be teh suck to maybe impossible to get out..

Yeah the caltrans website says 50 is closed "due to spinouts" I dunno.

sunny down here in the bay right now..
