checkout the Tahoe thread. Storm really delivers in the CP/KW area. Impressive May system.

Top of Gaylor skied great today. But you want to start super early. Lots of skiers at the pass.

We're here too. Come say hi if you see us. We'll have a quick beer at the Mill parking lot after skiing but today we're leaving soon because it's family call day. We're leaving on Tuesday afternoon.

Fun morning on Sunday with the snow holding up until about noon. Here's a few pics from yesterday.
I was in the ch 2 parking lot just after 7:00 a.m. There was a plethora of quality rigs already there by then.
Got in line at about 7:20 a.m. with just a few folks ahead of me.
The snow set up Saturday night, but it wasn't a hard freeze. More like the top layer froze.
As the Top softened up I did a couple climax laps.
Looking back up. Quality mank.
Lots of racer types on the hill first thing.
I decided to head over to the Noids and found out it was going to be a bit more work to get in than I had anticipated.
It was a bit of a scramble to get in, then more work to click back into my skis.
Snow was soft enough that the sun cups weren't an issue. Not bad for this time of year.
The dude that I was parked next to had a sweet looking VW Bus. Nice ride bro!
Beautiful drive back home in the afternoon. Springtime on the East Side. Doesn't get much better.

Drove up Sunday morning in time for a few laps before skiing Monday and Tuesday.
It ended up being really fun, as others have said. Monday I started with a few groomers, then kept lapping Sign Line on Climax. It was slushy and fun, and not too grabby, although a bit sticky by the afternoon. I expected it to be stickier, and was pleasantly surprised. I skied from 930 to 130.
Tuesday I got to the mountain around 9 am. I started with a couple of groomers, then headed to the top. The Cornice groomer was slushy and fun. After a couple of those I tested Sign Line, which had softened up other than the apron below. I ended up heading over the the skier's right area of Climax, under the center of the Top of the World cliffs, and found beautiful slush. It was some of the better spring slush I have seen this year, soft and rippable but not grabby. I ended up doing 5 more laps there, before doing a dropout lap and then finishing with one more lap in that same Climax zone.
Dropout was fun too. I skied the skier's left area, pretty much the ridge right under the chair. Once you got below the slush bumps the face was really fun if you stayed skier's left.
Fofo, great to finally meet you!
ESS, sorry we didn't get to meet up. I think I sent you a PM, but I'm not all that good with TGR on my phone. I'm actually surprised the post I sent from the mountain on Monday went through. Good work getting into the noids. I gave some thought to traversing in, but decided against it.
Overall the best turns I got were on skier's right Climax on Tuesday.
Here is a video of a Sign Line lap on Monday, then Dropout and Climax from Tuesday.

Mikey, I hope that you're feeling better and that it wasn't covid.
ESS, no worries, we may be back or Memorial Day too, and we'll have more beer in the cooler. If your avatar/thumbnail is a picture of you, I may have seen you at the Mill (blue and white clothes I think), but I thought it would be a little bit weird to go to a random guy an be like "Hey, are you Eastern Sierra Skier?""Um, yeah, I guess".
LDD, yeah, it was good to finally meet! Cool video, by the way. I could feel my legs getting tired just by watching it.
And someone was having fun (and sweating like crazy, I imagine):
