We did not load lift until 10:45 after leaving cabin after 9 even though I saw 6K rpm on uphill at 8K+ elevation passing lane going up Carson Pass in my 326K+ mile SUV. We were one of three vehicles parked at end of lot near Timber Creek where snowcats cross road. We spent a long time getting...

Our plans changed so that instead of skiing before going to and on way to Benton Hot Springs to celebrate friend’s birthday over the weekend and see part of CA I’d never been to, we drove back to and stayed at So. Tahoe cabin Sunday night and I skied Heavenly. Wind kept Sky chair, gondola and...

I only dropped my phone skiing once. I must have missed my inside pocket on way to Montezuma lift my only time at A-Basin (17 year ago). When I noticed it missing, I went to nearby top of lift shack and it was there. But phone suffered for a while from being in the snow so I could only text and...

Another not beer that I bought today at Grocery Outlet where all their wine, that often sells for 25-50% of what they say is list, is an additional 20% off for a week. I bought two Sauvignon Blancs, one from New Zealand for $5.59 and this one that I'm wondering if @jamesdeluxe has ever seen or...

Kirkwood, CA April 2, 2025 Friend whose place I stayed at was moving a little slow and when I got to my SUV to get out skis out, shuttle that we had not yet called went by before he got there. After texting for another one and not getting response, we decided to drive the less than a mile (in...

After seeing the OpenSnow predictions for the first part of this week for Kirkwood on Sunday and Monday evenings and hearing about it from friend who was at his place here with plenty of room for me if I could get there, I drove up Tuesday morning, leaving San Jose at 5 AM. I saw snow mixed in...

Their Methodology includes "The Washington Post used the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate Divisional Database (nClimDiv), which provides monthly temperature data at the national, state and county level between 1895 and 2018 for the Lower 48 states." I remember hearing...

Not everyone happy about Copper expanding. https://www.summitdaily.com/news/copper-mountain-traffic-congestion-interstate-70/

Yes, that drink has 50 mg of THC. I found they sell drinks with 25-100 mg of THC in CA. This dispensary is at a former large bakery near where my Grandmother lived. https://caliva.com/collection/beverages?menu-products-production%5BsortBy%5D=menu-products-by-price-production Enjoy Amsterdam. I...

I drank this last night. Bought at last big liquor store in Fruita, CO off I-70 before returning to UT. Not that special, but OK. Lucia bought this at same liquor store. Not sure they sell stuff like this in CA cannabis stores where prices are high priced due to taxes compared to other states...

Finally adding some details and photos from Tuesday March 4 and Wednesday March 5. Started writing this on March 9 and tried again earlier this week. Monday night there was a party hosted by Racewax rep in his condo that was less than 10 minute walk from where we stayed. It started snowing about...

I don't have time to look through all my photos of the Lake from Heavenly, but I do think Heavenly's lake view's have some advantages: 1. Top is over 1K' higher that all other Tahoe ski area except Mt Rose, which has some Lake view's but generally looks towards NV 2. Since Heavenly is at SE...

In this thread, @Tony Crocker says "Homewood’s views of Lake Tahoe are rivaled only by Heavenly (in background here)". Some of Homewood is too close to Lake so you don't get view of whole Lake. This is friend on Headwall at Palisades with KT22, Alpine and Tahoe in background. Heavenly and...

Lake Tahoe from Crystal Ridge Run at Diamond Peak. Looks like more than a couple miles of the Lake although not all 21x12. Next photo is from their Lakeview Lodge where we attended a couple of their Last Tracks event. Wine tasting, heavy hors d'oeuvres followed by a freshly groomed run. Was...

Better than Tahoe from Homewood, Diamond Peak, Heavenly or even Palisades and Northstar? I had my first two days there last season and enjoyed the skiing. How was your drive there from SLC?

The Secretary of Defense denies this happened so we can never believe anything he says. Many think he should resign. He has a long way to go to catch up with number of lies Trump told in his first term (30K+) and the first 2+ months of his second. Maybe @jamesdeluxe can share...

Mineral Basin opened today after being closed for 23 days. Posted on FB: Mineral Basin is OPEN. Huge thanks to our Mountain Ops crew for their hard work and to all of our guests for your patience. Mineral Basin, Baldy Express and the Peruvian Tunnel are now accessible.

Steamboat, CO March 2, 2025 (Sunday) We had late-ish start due to friend forgetting his jacket at vrbo in Hayden causing ~20 minute delay and then we had to park at Meadows lot and shuttle. Then we had to go into ticket office as friend who I’d sent Friends and Family link for 35% off if bought...

According to Google maps, my family's cabin is 3 min drive to Heavenly's Stateline gondola parking garage (where you always have to pay or a 16 minute walk). Due to dispute over whether Heavenly should be annexed so City of South Lake Tahoe collects some of the sales and other taxes paid by...

I'm only at 88 after adding Steamboat and Copper Mountain last month. Those are my first new CO areas since I skied A-Basin and Beaver Creek in 2008.
