I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you meant you got blown off after one lap Sunday. Glad to hear it was money on Stevens!

Uh yea... I was at red lakes Friday and Sunday.... Stevens on Saturday.... Friday was titties and sunny, but yesterday was windy as hell and I wanted to get the f outta there... Lots of folks at red lakes on Friday BTW

It is looking like Wednesday (or Tuesday) are going to be good days to go play. Might be time to take a PTO

Raining or sleeting in south shore right now BTW one thing I know it aint snow.... Hopefully that changes soon seems cold I am making progress on an X-mas present though

Yup, definitely not able to make up it's mind...but that super low high for tomorrow, plus what's left of the moisture in this system ought to make it better up above 7k. Carson pass perhaps on Wednesday just to have an easy-ish day

Next week may shape up to be pretty nice..

We are in Tahoe for the holidays.

We climbed up a ridge above the west shore today. The snow at lake-level sucked. Thin, wet, no base. By 7k', things were looking better. Once on the ridge we kept climbing and found deep, relatively dry snow and more was falling. North-facing slopes were holding snow well. We will go back up tomorrow and do some laps in the trees. As long as you stay high, there is decent potential.

surprised we didn't see ya A on RL on friday. We almost went to stevens on saturday. love that line down into the back bowl.

HEY - I'm trying to get a split delivered to Jm13 in south lake from the Bay Area. I can't get up there until before New Years. Is anyone in the Bay Area, hopefully north bay, going to south lake this week or weekend? Can you deliver a board for me? Thx.

Kirkwood was all time today A lot of folks have talked shit on the wood when vail took over, but i tell ya what they got the mountain open today like clock work like it was back in the 90's opened chair 6 at 910, with less than 50 people lined up for opening and got the backside, palisades and thunder saddle opened by 11... Never waited in one line and got fresh tracks all day! Hardly anyone there.... I scoff at all the fools that got the squaw valley/ alpine pass, Im sure that was a shit show Dumpin when we were leaving... Goin back tommarow and bringin the splitty

We did some west shore BC riding in the forest today. I suspect I would get crap from the locals at how inefficient our approach is so I won't even be specific about which ridge we rode, but let's just say it was within walking distance of our current pad (important when you don't feel like driving anywhere) and it was good exercise.

Lake level and up to about 500' above lake level still pretty much sucks. Too thin, too much brush, etc.

Above that, life gets pretty good.

Nice pics ya got there philipAK! Snow looks ripe out there on the west shore! Did you guys see any natural or human triggered avys? I know the report called for considerable danger.... I think tommarow is gonna be the day to get "the goods"

No obvious signs of instability today, but then we stayed in the trees and didn't go on anything particularly steep. No whumpfing, no cracks, no slabs or sloughs in the trees where we rode. On steeper slopes out in the open could be a different situation though, and we could hear avy control booms from Alpine both days we have been out. The vis was pretty poor so it was hard to see what was going on on the peaks around us.

Darren, I'm heading up this weekend (Sat AM most likely) but as you know I'm in Oakland. Get at me if I end up being your only hope.

thanks BB. i may just have to deliver it myself.

i think eco and i are gonna ride saturday too. I got your #.

good to see west shore is coming along. nice pics philip. were you around stanford rock?
