1/6-7

PN and I are thinkin' maybe a few laps at KW Saturday morning, then OB, or Carson Pass. Maybe hit up the super duper secret spot on the north side.

Anyone else gonna be out that way?

The SLT ski lease starts this weekend and I'm headed up there with breadbox & others to ride BC on saturday and sunday. I heard an unconfirmed rumour that jimw is in on the ski lease and headed up this weekend, too. I don't know where we'll be riding yet...

Sounds more like a split lease.

Storn - I got your cell number. I'll call ya and see where you guys are going.

Cool, man. I hope we meet up... maybe take the new NS for a spin.

Got out this morning. High ridgetop E/NE winds. Everything exposed facing NE (like top of Hourglass) got its snow stripped badly. Some thick wind slabs (2'+) in weird places like in the trees, but they seem to be bonding okay, but so be careful. I have my kids on Saturday, so won't be partaking...

Oh, and everything is getting tracked so quickly - lots of people out today.

I would wait for more coverage to break in a brand new board. Around K-wood might be okay though.

Thanks, KS - I've been agonizing about it all day and 1/2 wishing that it arrived on Monday so I wouldn't have to make the call. Reread this to steel the nerves. But now I think I'll bring the FR66.

Rode Waterhouse dawn patrol with SLT Joe today, winds were rippin from N-NE at the top transporting a bunch of snow to the leeward sides. 15-18" of superlight freshness in the trees.

God, it feels good to ride POW again !

Anyone heading out this weekend? Cold snow possible Wed/Thurs.

If you are looking for powder salvation from this cold front coming through with 120mph winds and no moisture you are in for yet another disappointment.

The only thing that might be worth watching for is some lake-effect snow.

Are you telling me there won't be any decent snow for sliding in the Sierra this weekend? Come on, hall pass secured--throw me a bone.

Good weekend to take off.

Look for lake-effect snow that currently is around Mt.Rose. It will shift southward as the wind shifts and maybe hit Heavenly later. Also some wrap-around easterly upslope snow may help the eastern Sierra. I still doubt it will amount to anything more than 6" or so total at the most.

The winds are gone at least.
