[4matic]

Just don't drink a beer named Leftover Salmon.

IMHO there is ony one jam band and it died with Jerry. YMMV

Allman Brothers?

[old goat]

IMO there is only one jam band I didn't like and same.

You had to be there.

Ha. A McCarthy novel that has snow as the demise of mankind.

All the Pretty Snowflakes…

Looks like good coverage in Tahoe.

I actually remember doing this in my garage when I was in junior high

Just saw this poster today. One more showing tomorrow night in incline:

[LongShortLong]

Didn’t mean any disrespect, but I just imagined with all the closures and collapses that it’d be an absolute shitshow. An awesome spring, but aren’t supermarkets closed? And kirkwood telling people to stock up for a week of not being able to move?

Maybe I’m just reading the sensationalist news.

Idk. It's fine. I figure if they don't want people to come, they'll close the ski hills. Getting news out about the supermarkets is useful. As a touron myself, 2 of the 3 SLT markets I know are closed and they're usually weekend shitshows. I'd bring all my food, as usual - I'm here to ski not shop.

KW is reminding their residents what they already know, and potentially warning a few tourons to make sure they get out before the passes close. KW regulars know the drill.

Methinks the residential collapses are mainly sensationalist news, unless you're living in that building, then it's a disaster. Summer is high season, so there should be sufficient tourist lodging now.

The local governments probably want fewer people around, or want them more prepared. Plow guys are slammed. Plows run behind in some areas. Some neighborhood roads were going a few days without a plow (weeks in San Berdoo ). Some are icy. Others too narrow to pass. Occasional berms block streets. Rain this last week helped a lot in lower elevations. OTOH, the local business is tourism so come on up?

The KMart poster last week offended some regulars, but accurately described many of the flatland visitors... Folks in this thread are more likely to help than need help (those who scotchguarded their jeans back in the day know about snow now)

There may be reasons not to visit the south shore as in general they seem to be suffering more from a roads/infrastructure standpoint and Heavenly's complete inability to get their shit open.
The north/west shores have their shit on point (sort of, kind of). YMMV

Oh geez....

Squaw was really fun yesterday once the morning ice melted off. Combo of chalky smoothness covering the entire upper mountain and corn skiing on the sunny aspects. Plus sunshine. Glorious sunshine. Looking forward to skiing today.

If you don't wear any pants, you'll dry off much more quickly between chair rides... Just sayin'....

T'was magic out there...

Glorious indeed.

[Mokomahonah]

Chalky spring goodness indeed.
Like cream cheese on toast. Very smooth and nice where it did not get skied on Tuesday (rainbuff!), a little crusty down lower. No lines when I showed up at 10. Snow seemed to get better as it warmed up some. Highlights - East bowl, 75 chute, kids still sending and punching through the crust.

[Powcruzer]

Spotted on the south shore. Is there a roof missing it's berg?

[Mokomahonah]

Must be a car that got dug out just enough to drive dangerously.

I have an old Jambay tape where they jokingly riff about playing an epic one chord jam with leftover salmon for 45 minutes.

I was more of a fan of Inna Godda Davida (sp?) myself.

More crowded today. Word that the mountain is skiable must have gotten out.

And btw, I wonder how much manpower it takes to run the base to base gondola at Palisades. Especially after a storm. Inclduing rebuilding the cattrack to the mid station. There were 3 grooming machines parked there today. Seems like resources could be better spent.
