Ultimate Ski/Snowboard Interest thread!!!

I was gonna say mammoth until I read through your post fully haha.

I'm stoked that I'm going up on Saturday and it is supposed to snow up there every day til. They got 19" yesterday alone.

 

Many good resorts in Tahoe especially with this El Niño season. I live in the Bay Area which is 4 hours away but my suggestions are squaw valley (they held the 1960 Olympic). Heavenly and kirkwood. I prefer the smaller resorts for $$$ purposes and the home feel (my parents owned a house in Tahoe so I spent a lot of my childhood winters there). Anyways the smaller resorts I recommend are Sierra at Tahoe(south Lake Tahoe), alpine meadows (north shore), and currently my favorite with the best view of all Lake Tahoe is Homewood ski resort. (Pictures above)

 

Got 6-10" predicted for tomorrow and another 7-14" tomorrow night


Hopefully the top of the mountain gets at least double that.. Easily could.

 

Looks like a great place to ski. Is that PBR beer in the top photo? My Dad would be proud!
If I can rent a decent 4x4 I'll head out to the small places; if not I'll probably try Heavenly.

This year was Vegas again. I had a good time, but the quick elevation change gave my altitude sickness. Still managed to get some Go-Pro footage

 

That most definitely is some pabst. They got a helluva deal at the bar right by where that picture is taken. A 22oz of pbr and a shot of jack, or fireball for 5 bucks. Merry Christmas!

 

got some new snow last night in big bear lake.

 

I may not be skiing there, but I know where to drink. So, 22oz beer and a shot for $5? This is could be bad, very very bad.
Many thanks for the suggestion. I'll be sure to check it out if the roads are open. The last time I was out there, that entire side of the lake was shutdown.

 

Just waxed all four pairs of my skis and we've gotten two feet of snow in the past to days

 

bump for more pics..

 

From earlier this month.. Alyeska has the most snow of any resort in the entire US and possibly the world currently. Sitting at 460" on the season, with 14' of that falling in the month of January alone..

 

Wow!..down here in so cal/big bear mountain. Our base is around 3-4ft.

 

Yea i was up at Snow Summit last weekend and it looked nothing like that lol..
Still tons of fun though!

 

I am very sad to say, but I Do not think I will be getting to go snowboarding this year. I had a trip planned to go to Killington VT with my family. I was going to get my 5 yr old duaghter and 8yr old son to learn this year. I usually spend a week in UT with some friends of mine, but now I do t think I am going anywhere this year. It's a bummer.

 

It's been a pretty epic winter so far here out in Lake Tahoe

 

Making up for the past few. I think it's coming back your way again this weekend.

 

Sure is... Ima go up on Monday

 

Anyone else learn on one of these?

I see that they are selling them again. Would be fun to stash in the truck for those nice little meadows that you sometimes see.

 

I'm not a boarder (God gave you two feet), but I saw these in a Sweetgrass movie: http://www.gentemstick.com/

 

And ten toes and one.....

 

Lol and... us boarders use both those feet to ride with too
