    I picked sierra cuz I bought discounted tickets through the company I work for a few months ago. I went a couple months ago and they had limited stuff open so the were selling tickets at sierra for like $40 bucks so I didnt use the other tickets. Now im going back to use them cuz there will be snow. If you can go anywhere go to northstar.

    ...too much shit to list.
    Northstar has the LEAST amount of snow of all the major resorts right now. Having just rode it...I can't agree with you.
    And believe me...it is my favorite resort and it pains me to admit it.

    I just had a good weekend there. The snow was good and most the runs were open. My favorite part is they can handle a crowd and the top of the mountian is limited to blue and up skiers and boarders.

    I'm not saying you can't have a good weekend there, I was just saying that it's not the best resort to go to given the current conditions. Truckee and North Lake got half the amount of snowfall from the last storm compared to South Lake. Just like everyone else, NS has less than half of their runs open, which is far from "most."
    Not trying to discount your good time, but I live here, ride twice a week minimum, and just trying to stay objective for those that are wondering about conditions.

    No worries. I believe you. It's been a sad year for snow. Because of this I've only made it to Sierra and north star this year. Of the two my advise is north star even though I grew up going to Sierra most the time. That's cool you get to go twice a week. I hope I live close to a resort at some point in my life.

    Sweet ones.
    Jberry, what do you think about kirkwood for the weekend? I'd like to dodge crowds and love to hit steep terrain, esp with the pending forecast.

    Could be fun. Not a lot open at Kirkwood right now, but this storm could change that. No matter what there's an ice layer at the bottom because of the warm weather in Jan.
    Always keep in mind...89 SUUUUUUUCKS in chain control.

    I have seen a few tacos rolled over on 89 in bad weather. Jberry is right about it sucks when there is bad weather.

    Sweet ones.
    Can you elaborate? Is it just super slow or actually treacherous? I've driven in bad snow storms before, so I know what to do. I was actually thinking of driving up Friday night and sleeping in the truck (cause I'm cheap and don't want to get a hotel room) so I get first tracks Saturday. Would taking 50 in be any better?

    I'm trying to choose the mountains with highest elevations. And if I recall you said squaw gets wind and I think it's gonna be windy sat.

    Both. 89 can get pretty gnar.
    Sleeping in your truck is not a good idea, just saying.

    2010/2011 89 on the way to Kirkwood
