Tahoe '24/'25 - This Thread Shall Not Be Privatized!!

[old goat]

Hah! In my 50 years here I've never seen R3, on 80 or anywhere else except Northwoods.

[bobz]

I’ve seen R3 in both Yosemite (120 to west entrance) and SEKI NP (south from Wolverton). In SEKI we blew it off and drove the Subie without chains without problems; in Yose they were hardasses and so we went out 140.

I have seen it once on Brockway 25 years ago. I was trying to go from Northstar to Steamers for pizza. CalTrans told me to go home.

I assume all the talk of R3 means that it is still raining in Tahoe. No pics of storm skiing or conditions?

Today skiing at sb was great.

Twas great at the Ghettos for about 90 minutes. Sherwood and TLC were the only lifts opened. Warming temperatures (rain) and limited terrain lead to a limited day. Cool pinwheels and rollerball kind of day...

[SnowMachine]

It has been snowing for a couple of hours at 7k. Accumulation is still only 2-3 inches. I heard SB was great today. Country Club kind of day.

Snow level seems to be dropping from north to south with the change at about tahoe city right now

The same line three of the last 4 days keeping above the rain. 1 day at alpine above subway that was good enough to hike up 3 times (inbounds sucked)
Cornices are growing huge and fast

I thought they shut down around noon due to power failure

Very possible. My friends were finished before that. Their website shows only the gondola on the schedule today. Maybe they have ongoing issues this AM.

18" up top but the 6" on my deck at 6400 yesterday morning is completely washed off. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this snow might be on the heavy side.

Desk jockey report here...looks pretty windy with Headwall and Sibo currently stagnant.

Being a desk jockey is over rated. Web cams look nice. I&#39;m going for some ground truthing.</p>

What a delightful morning at AM.

[gone2alpine]

Alpine Meadows good today. Hard to go wrong anywhere off of Summit. Afternoon wind buff situation was the best of the season. It was far better than expected given the heavy rains in Truckee last night.

Yeah, the drive was as expected, the skiing was not, and the lack of people was surprising. Sunspot was particularly nice--deepest snow I found, no wind slab, and few people skiing it. Mine were the second pair of tracks in that whole area.</p>

I got a kick out of the snowboarder who had taken off her board on the runout and was gently encouraging a little mouse off the groomer into the trees.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

I don&#39;t know where the &lt;p&gt; came from.&nbsp; Did Musk&#39;s crew get access to the TGRs?</p>

seems like they forgot to close the door behind them, thats unusual. Can confirm G2A and old goat&#39;s assessment of the Shralpine Meadows. Cold creamy buff to be had. Even the rain crusty was not frozen so hard, more like a Crem Brul&eacute;.</p>

Fuck today at kirkwood was rad. Blower is overrated

Wow today totally over delivered. I got a late start on purpose, to let them get things open. Boots on 10:30. Snow was very confidence inspiring. Not really deep out there but you could rip anything at any speed you like, very flat everywhere it seemed.
Sibo popped a little after noon and was the best skiing on the mountain, you did have to avoid some ice but it was very easy to see. After doing a few long laps down headwall, I went to check on granite. Ending up getting the second chair 3pm. No ice to be found over there. Got 3 quick ones before they closed it.

[SnowMachine]

I was at the top of Sibo at 2:45 with my crew when a patroller rolled up and told me Granite was opening at 3. We got two amazing untouched laps before close at 3:30. Today was amazingly good. It was a bit rough down low, but even Chute skied great for about 3/4 of the lap. Looking forward to tomorrow.

Edit: Truckee Joe, I must have been right behind you. We were on chair 6.

[meepmoop24]

Rose was skiing great today, the wind was buffing everything out and giving free refills. Friday should be even better!

[Truckee Joe]

Storm skiing is the best, when there is no line at kt...

[FigureELEVEN11]

That was great untouched Sentinel Bowl lines all day. Wonder if they let people up 6 after it shut for wind around 230? Doubt it.

Hopefully tomorrow everything wraps up early and they can get the hoards over to 4 before things get too beat up off 6/10. Yesterday after 2/3/4 opened I just kept lapping 10 through Eagle bowl since no one wanted to ski it after their first run to get the backside.

Lift opened at 3pm on a weekday?! What kind of money hold is that? Kids these days have it so easy.</p>
