The Nebelhorn

This Zone has many names, on the map its "Nebelhorn" Some Oldtimer's call it "widows" People even call it "Sierra at tahoe side country" but thats a long bootpack past huckelberry :lol:

Ive even heard respected BC shreders call it a legal snomo zone, (more of a grey area snomo zone) I too have been guilty of mobbin the sleds in this zone. :shock:

Ive even heard of homeowners in the area trying to start a BC snocat operation

That would be cool.... Anyway this Zone is full of pillow madness and I truly enjoy exploring the area!

With a little more snow mmmmm

NS 161 revolver R. The ride for today

Movin on up

Pillow lines often hold hidden danger, so be on the lookout for any Cali Crevases

Bowlrider finds a nice drop in

not tryin to poach a local SL zone but do you park off the 50 to start skinning? just curious because over the years i've salivated following huckleberry all the way out to that ridge...love dem early season Sierra pillows and that looks to follow suit...nice!

Nah thats no mullet, just trick photography. The way Dom skiis he should sport a mullet though! So stoked to see the snow come to tahoe, today bottomless inbounds! Some cool lines are gonna open up in the BC, be safe everyone!

So jealous! I've been in AIARE Level 2 class all day today and worked all week.

Seriously everyone be safe out there. Check out the Sierraavalanchecenter.org site tomorrow. There was some crazy avy activity on Silver Peak in North Shore today or last night. There is still a really deep facet layer.
