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

wait .... are you claiming it???????
Regardless, if that was hit, they need to buy us all Lotto tickets .

Coverage was pretty much 100% where we toured today. What was dirt 2 weeks ago is now full game on.

Hoar

What's the parking sitch like this year for Rubicon? Guaranteed ticket on a weekend?

Well, yeah. Nobody is going to own up to it publicly and so there's no "official" way to be sure. But the point still stands--this is early for Tram Face and I wonder if it's been skied earlier.

Oh wow! I actually didn’t see the tracks the first time around, just thought it was pondering. Yeah that’s legit.

[MakersTeleMark]

Thumbs up on that.

Not claiming. Just noticing. Props to the sender. It means things are definitely full on. People hiked into the fingers from exo. For some reason so-called Palisades Tahoe Olympic Valley only ran lower mountain lifts today, even tho lines were ridik. They still don't have chairs on headwall so don't expect that tomorrow. Scratching my head a little... Some additional bombing in the afternoon. We were too late to get summit laps at "PTA" so feeling lucky to enjoy soft bumps and mop-up stashes during the day.

I’m sure they are dealing with staff shortages. It’s kinda funny the resort is now named after terrain that they don’t open on the weekends. Heh.

[powdork]

People are asking the same questions about why the Heave hasn’t opened nv

What time should I be hitting the 89 to hit minimal traffic on the weekends?

Photo dump from past week ….. got posting figured out. Mostly hippy hopping until it settled n buffed out the past couple days

Who dosed the punch?

No driving anywhere this day

Lots of backyard wiggling after digging out


Last storm dropped fast buff and finally allowed for proper shredding

Sorry was vague. Heading up from Reno with the fam, haven’t had an Ikon for a few years so the only time I’ve driven south on the 89 on weekends was for dawn patrol on the west shore or deep creek. Not worried about first chair just wanting to hit it with minimal traffic.

I think Turx was calling out the "the", not the "89".


Nice that the crowds will get a sunny weekend before the next wave of storms hits (looks like around Tuesday, intensifying into Thursday). I think I'll do a mellow-angle tour tomorrow.

Resort arrival anytime after 8am on a busy weekend in LT puts you behind the curve.

Wow. Bad timing to get caught sleeping with the plow spouse?

minimal traffic.

Sadly, this is no longer a concept here in the Truckee area, especially on a holiday weekend right after a major dump.
Last night trying to get out of The Star was a 2+ hour gridlock.
I got off work at 4, wasn't able to leave until 6:15, and it still took me an hour to get home (normally a 20 minute drive).
That was Friday with people supposedly still working and kids in school.
Came home to 15 SUVs overflow parked in the STR next door.
Today through next week is more'n likely to clusterfuckery supreme, especially end of day..

On the bright note, the snow is skiing/riding great.

Nice Gimpy. Looks like the NV was open for skiing and riding after all.

Braved the traffic and went early to Palisades today. I was annoyed where we were in line for Wa She Shu and then about 30 minutes went by and I turned around only to see it insanely long. Photo below. I was pleasantly surprised after finally get up the mountain because I thought it would be a shit show. My older son and I hit a lot stashes before the masses got up the mountain (which was around run 5). We were able to do 9 runs and then got hungry and bailed early. KT was spinning - I saw what looked like a lift op going up (not ski patrol) so maybe they are getting it ready for tomorrow. 60mph winds coming so it would be nice to add KT to the schedule. Snow today cold and felt great.

Castle SnoPark was getting close to full by 9am. Nice out there.

[TahoeBC]

Coverage is really great and it looks like the snowpack could double over the next week, game on!

267 this morning at 8:30 was backed up to 80

Wow lots of awesome stoke and pictures! No action shots from me but after several sunrise bowl laps I pulled this guy out and laughed my ass off going down 15° slopes
