Oh-9/Oh-10 Tahoe Weather, Stoke, and What's Up Thread

[rlewis]

A skin up buckboard is your best bet. Safe and thick with snow.

Top of the hill is real scraped. Corner Chute looked good by Gimpy/SC. I imagine there is snow in the Saddle, based on last w/e winds. If you are solo, I would not go in there. There could still be some nasty layers with a ton of wind loaded snow on top.

Thanks Ottime- I'm gonna be a loner this weekend, so looks like it might be chair 5 and buckboard for me

[The Dad]

We might be up for dinner on Friday.

Skiing Alpine on Saturday.

Us too, on both counts. Although dinner is less likely -- doubt we'll make it in time.

With such thin coverage, you'll find ganr off of 5. I would bet lower Monte Wolfe's will thave the Experts Only skull & cross bones sign

Any idea why one of the Level I courses is Fri - Sun from 8 until 3:50 and the other is Tuesday and Thursday from 6 until 9:50?

The Sun - Fri class is a over 21 hours but the Tue - thurs is only about 8 hours.
They both say AIARE level I. I am assuming I am missing something??

The T/Th classes include two days in the field:

Lec: T,Th (1/05, 1/07) 0600PM-0950PM Room: E103
Field: Sat, Sun (1/09, 1/10) 0800AM-0350PM
Instructor: Feist, T 1/05/10 - 1/10/10

a quick check-in.... i think the Truckee maggots need to get together for some "pray-to-snow" gods boozing. anyone in for some drinks this Fri or Sat? Blue Coyote? Cottonwood? BofAmerica? Moodys? do we have any old skis burn in effigy??!?

oh, Freshies and other Tahoe maggots.... i'll be out of town Dec 21-Jan 1 visiting family/relatives on the East Coast. thank you very much.... i am sure it will be DUMPING then...

hey all truckee mags, how about we meet at the cottonwood friday night for a pray-for-snow-season kick-off drink-fest? say 7:30?

and ohc, way to take one for the team: i fully expect massive snow storms starting the 21st through new years

picking up my pass friday and will be hitting the WROD @ Alpine Sat

Hey just wanted to alert everyone on the 1-day Avy Avoidance & Awareness class at LTCC (1/9/10).

Just registered - with fees it was $12.50 (I <3 LTCC!) Figured it would be a good refresher along with rereading the Bruce Temper book. Registration for new students is tomorrow morning at 7am - good luck to all those trying to get in on AIARE Level I classes!

If I wanted to just take this one class at LTCC it would cost me $12.50 total?

hey all.... unfortunately i am OUT for tomorrow night. i completely blew it and forgot about something on the family calendar....

if folks are game for Sat night.... i am pretty much down for that. given that one of my lil maggettes will be out on a sleepover (and i am trying to arrange for lil maggette #2 to also go to a friends).... i am guessing i'll be without kids ....

anyhow.... how does Sat look for Truckee Mags? i'll buy the first round to make up for my screw up....

Yes. Plus you need to pay a $35 finder fee to Julesrules. And I will collect a $10 answer your question fee. PM me and I will forward my paypal. Oh, please add 3% + $.35.

Thank you.

make it Sat then! (but I might be heading down to SF to see the Black Crowes @ the Fillmore after skiing).

[The Dad]

I'm willing to guess that I'll be the only single dad schraping the WROD at Alpine on Saturday with three kids in tow, one on teles. Shout out for change.

[dookeyXXX]

i'll be at AM Sat and Sun taking the Instructor Clinic.

that said, i'd be down for grabbing a drink Sat. in Truckee, especially if OHC is buying!

[skezen]

Word is that you can ski Alpine (Roundhouse) if you show on Friday after 2PM - but who wants to do that?

[julesrules]

Completely fogged in this morning - can't see the bridge at all from my office. Feels colder...come on remnants of typhoon Nida, don't let me down!

P.S. Houston's getting up to 6 inches of snow today. WTF. We'd better get our storm!

[deciblast]

I'm registered for 1/15/2009! Thanks Jules.

[~mikey b]

freshies - Black Crowes were HOT on Tuesday night - worth checking out if you can get a ticket - I know Fri and Sat are sold out, but last I checked, Sun tix were available

[BiznessTime]

Damn damn damn.

I missed the registration for the LTCC classes and now they are booked. I want to take one in January with my gf, and I'm guessing I'll probably have to pay $200-$300 now. Sheet.

Any other recommendations on good classes/instructors? Level 1 is what we need. Thanks.

[Zeppelinskier]

when is this said storm expected to arrive?

[The Dad]

First real waves look to arrive Wednesday into Thursday.

[Ottime]

Because LTCC is so inexpensive, people often just do not show up. If you are willing to take a chance, just show up the morning of class. If there is room, you will be allowed to register. Just be sure to be registereed as a student prior.

When I took my class it was fully booked. Day of the class, four people did not show up.

Looking like this Sun/Mon should have an event of very dry snow. Blower on rock. Gnaaaar!
