Snow Reports for Tahoe

TAKW what a difference a week makes. Lot of crust still, but the groomers are choice and bare spots are gone. Schralp!

Location is actually Mammoth but lucked out the past few days and scored fresh powder every single one of em. There are some killer flight / lift / and lodging deals going on with the resorts out there. We stayed in Juniper Springs and it felt like some lifestyles of the rich and fabulous setup, which was sick!

What Kirkwood lacked in new snow, it made up for in bigger crowds. All smiles. Sometimes you just gotta ski. #TAKW http://t.co/f4LAymUl

http://t.co/jX22GbMS - TAKW patchy in parts, but well-groomed where there's cover. Sunny, minimal crowds. I did it for the Phresheez.

Mt. Rose being up around 9000 feet has definitely benefited the most from this weekend.
Friday: it was dumping in Tahoe city but didn't turn into snow until night around 12.30ish, there could be an extra foot of snow if it was colder bummer...

There's not much snow in Tahoe, so my 'Fair-' is relative to overall conditions. Not worth $101 unless you're rich or desperate. But if you have a Northstar pass, it's still kind of fun right now.

There were very nice man made snow conditions over the weekend with a few hard bits and bare spots but nothing too bad. I had a fun time screwing around on skis one day and a snowboard the next, as did my wife & kids. The place was empty and the sun was shining.

"N* got schralped by the crowds and warm up last week during the holidays. But we just had ..."

"waaaaaaait... @platypus - did you just deliver a report on ob AND tahoe this morning? Not ..."

"Tahoe was the weekend, OB was this morning. Yeah, order was funny, but I didn't feel like ..."

Light crowds on the Nevada side. Groomers are in good condition. Huge pseudo powder piles all over Olympic. Get out here!

"Is this a joke?"

"Yeah. Everyone should go skiing. Nothing to see here in the City. "

$101 tickets, literally zero coverage where they aren't making snow, and icy conditions where they are. Pretty terrible conditions, but at least the runs were uncrowded. The Village was another matter. Jammed with people not skiing.

On a side note, not sure what they've spent $30M on at Northstar... Same crappy beads & candle stores in the Village. They dropped another lift on the Backside, but that just means they tore out some great tree skiing. Oh, and they added another bar/restaurant mid-mountain. Generic Asian/Mexican/American fare.

"Sorry to hear the report @sticker. I'll surf some pretty junky conditions, but not gonna ..."

"Yes. Poor- decision on my part. My only consolation is I hear it was still better than Squ ..."

"When I'm trying to describe how cool it is being able to get really good surf walking dist ..."

Royal Gorge - they had 4k, which is rapidly melting away. Snow had some dirt...and sticks...and rocks. Still fun to get in some xc skiing and use the paddling muscles for something else.

I just spent way too much time in the shower coming up with a hierarchy for different types of tans, then questioning whether to share it.

"I'm not sure how the hell this ended up on stokereport, and as posted from the location of ..."

"Heh, just figured it out. The 4 letter posting code for north star is ... "TAhoe North Sta ..."

60 degrees at 10,000 feet. Thursday. Was up at donner summit for two amazing days of skiing, sun and heat. $15 at boreal on Fridays. Of course the snow got a bit sticky by mid-day but not a bad price to pay for skiing in a t-shirt. Light crowds but it we were there weekdays. The powder days are probably over but the sno-pack is awesome and there will be corn snow for a while.

Nice day trip to Sugar Bowl. Thought I was done for the season, but it keeps on storming. I rocked the one-piece, which is superb in the pow, but unfortunately less than ideal in the stall.

Wasn't too deep today, plus it was a whiteout, so only great minus. Still, it was my first time at SB, and I likes what I sees. Especially a bunch of the steepies we weren't allowed to go on today.

"SB was good because they were closed the past two days. Tomorrow should be even better sin ..."

"a poo zipper would make my onesie complete. did you know they double as a sleeping bag? ..."

"I'm pretty sure Airblaster came out with a ninja suit with a poop shoot."

Double plus Epic. Dropped the wall first tracks. 10 ft of untracked powder. Felt like skydiving. Kind of cried at the bottom.

"this made me cry tears of joy for you."
