great surfing conditions at Tahoe - Kirkwood

104
Friday 4pm - Tahoe - Kirkwood, great skiing

Kirkwood is reporting 62-68" in the last 24 hours and a storm total of 130" at the top. We arrived a little bit before 10 and took one run down chair 6 when we got word chair 10 will open soon. Ran over to 10 and got 6th chair and first tracks down the Wall. After a few runs there, we headed back to 6 because Sentinel Bowl just opened, and we dropped some huge cliff drops and then played around on some cat tracks. Took me about 5 tries, but I landed my first front flip today. Not very many people there and plenty of fresh everywhere. Another 2 feet falls tonight for a refill tomorrow.

The weather was nice and mild. Lightly snowing all day and around 27 degrees.

Sick!

Things felt a bit heavier today. Kirkwood would have been perfect. Steep enough to handle the shitloads of snow. Homewood was interesting . Everything stayed untouched for hours until someone put in a track (read : got stuck and dug out) . Once there were escape routes from powder doom, things got interesting.

You have me wishing I hit kirkwood! (heard Sierra was good too). South lake represent!
