NorCal Skiing and BS Thread

I didn't know the snow could get that crazy in the Sierras. I can't imagine being buried inside your house or having to move hundreds of cubic yards of snow to leave.

 

So is it going to be snow or rain tomorrow at sierra? Wondering if it will be worth driving up?

 

Im hoping thats true. Skiing in the rain sucks.

 

Thanks Jason. I'll be driving up the mountain around 7 am.

 

Im going to wait until mon looks like it might rain on sat at sierra

 

So I was looking on Caltrans ( http://quickmap.dot.ca.gov/ ) and it was saying that even 4x4s have to chain up? Has anyone else heard of this? Being from Colorado we don't do that.... I mean I know what the normal chain rules are, but didn't really think a 4x4 would have to chain up. Jason you know anything about this?

 

Must be R3 conditions

Well that's the thing. Some of them I see say R2 but then the other ones just say MAX, no R3. So I am assuming they mean the same thing?

 

Probably. Jason might know to be sure.

 

Yeah I imagine he will see this at some point. But thanks for that insight though; I didn't know about the R1, R2, etc.

 

I was waiting for your epic story You seem to always have one in the bank lol. Well thanks man that definitely helps clear up things. Are you planning on hitting the slopes any time soon?

 

Aww I'm so jealous. Do you go to NS? Let me know how it is. I might take a comp day Monday and go ski if it's worth it.

 

Might be hitting up Kirkwood on Sunday or going wheeling…..tough decision!

 

Drove up to kirkwood last night and rode hard till my legs fell off around 1. It was a little wet and heavy but got great fresh tracks and it's been dumping all day/afternoon! Debating whether to stay another day. My body is hurting!
