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

[TahoeJ]

^^ I got a grass roots pow surfer a few years ago and they are super fun. You can have a total blast on mellow terrain, which has been my go to when the snowpack is sketchy.

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

Haven’t been to Northstar in several years now but learned today they moved their openings this season from 8:30 to 9. Seems like a great way to make things even worse traffic wise - it’s not like there’s much control work needed to open the mountain and it takes so fucking long to even get up there anyway.

Yeah I'm definitely looking forward to using it on those types of days!

The sun has done its work, but shady slopes are still fantastic.

Ended up at Palisades Tahoe yesterday, as the wife and kid wanted to meet up with some friends. I had lobbied for KW, but they knew I would go skiing anywhere. The ride home on 89 and 80 was a lot slower than anything I've experienced on 88. The skiing, otoh, was fabulous wind blown wintery goodness all over the place. We had a blast. Finished the day by riding Red Dog with our friends and seeing them in the right direction to the hotel at the bottom of Resort Chair. My son and I finished on Poulsen's Gully and it was a total blast watching him kill it top to bottom. Snow was soooooo good. Now off to Naples Florida. Enjoy the powder dump.

Damn dude, I would have met up with you! The steeps below Red Dog and between Red Dog & Resort Chair are skiing well.

Have fun in Naples...was just there for Thanksgiving.

[powdork]

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?

Looks like Open Snow is now subscription only. At least the summary is still free...

That would have been fun. Tho most of the day I was on full on family ski. We lapped the best snow in Shirley Bowl I've ever seen for a while. Then spent a hour tracking down our friends where we finally met up with them on Meadow. When they and my family headed in to eat some lunch, I ended up on Sibo. Kind of wish I had been lapping Red Dog, as I've never been to the resort when the snow was good off piste off Snow King. I bet you could show me around, if I did no lose you in the trees.

No Chicago folks for me. My parents moved thee a few years ago to be with al the other retires.

From China Peak (can it still be called that without offending someone or wanting the name changed?)

From the sounds of it, they don't mind people being hammered on booze and beer, but a hard no on weed. Yes, there are plenty of other ways to consume without combustion, but come on....who are these people whining about the smell of weed. Probably cigarette smokers.

China Peak Mountain Resort had a message for certain members of its customer base Sunday: Staff members are going to start cracking down on marijuana use at the ski area.

“Just a gentle reminder,” the resort posted via Instagram, noting to folks that although legal in California, marijuana “use is illegal at our resort, as we are 100% on United States Forest Service federal land and must operate by their FEDERAL rules.”

“Because of the complaints we have seen over the weekend, we have to crack down on its use at our resort starting now with staff in the parking lots as well (as) on lifts to ensure that we are all obeying the rules.”

Those caught using marijuana “will be removed from the resort for the day, no exceptions.”

Further resistance will result in customers having their season pass “voided for the rest of this season and you will not be allowed to purchase a pass in 2022/23.”

“Please do not make us play this game!” the post concluded. “We want to keep China Peak fun for everyone and maintain good standing with USFS. Thank you for your understanding.”

We were in Florida watching the news of the RNO airport flooding. My neighbor blew our driveway because you couldn't see the garage doors.

HWY 50 also was......BURRIED

Being hammered or use of alcohol is unrelated to cannabis law both state and federal:

It is illegal in California to consume, smoke, eat or vape cannabis in public. It is illegal to open a package containing cannabis or any cannabis products in public. This includes but is not limited to parks and sidewalks, business and residential areas.

Sure, and jay-walking is illegal too, technically.

I think the China Peak overreaction is kinda hilarious.

[~mikey b]

it’s really just that they’re sick of hearing the complaints and want people to settle down

I kinda get it - it gets old listening to people bitch about it

also, it’s in NF land so…

[bodywhomper]

Don’t you all mean December 1996? I had some great ski days and adventures during the cold storms on hwy 88, sugarbowl, Reno, 395, and June mtn before hot deluge.

I tried hard to use up the pow before the next storm, but failed. First headlamp use of the season. There's still plenty out there. I love the low sun angle this time of year! I also got to follow a bear for a bit.

Was wondering if he was still at China Peak. he was up here in tahoe last week.

The reality of the situation is that they would probably prefer to ban the Karens that are complaining about the smell, but there is no legal standing for that. And whoever is complaining probably threatened to get the feds involved.
