Default Tahoe general Report

Yeah - it keeps coming. 67 inches this storm so far. It's however,
pretty warm so the snow's very heavy, and has accompanying high winds so
the upper slopes are closed, which is fortunate since there's lots of
wind loading. Avalanche danger is hard to predict, even inbounds, see above.

When we get a cold storm it should be epic, if it doesn't all slide off
and fill the bowl bottoms.


Listening to news reports it sounds as though the amounts are going to
approach the 82 buildup. It doesn't sound like it's to that level
yet.

My brother's band was scheduled to play Alpine that day/night but was
unable to make it there too.

Wasn't "packed" on the north lake - hardly anybody around but locals, no
lines, nothing. But the freshies were cold fluff, and deep, and still
tracked out in an hour, including the hike-to. Nature of the game.


How's it looking out there snow wise. I moved to PC from NShore just
before the base area was taken out at Alpine, end of '80. When did
happen? 82? 83?

The news is sounding like some serious snow has fallen and is on the
way. But you know how the news is! Catch me up!


Here's a catch up. I created a brand new email address to issue my
annual challenge for you toshow up and talk **** in person
You saw it.
You read it.
And you're hiding like the cowardly ppppppuuuuussssssyyyyyyy you are.
The news is that you are a blowhard coward. Same news, different day.

Web site is here with pictures.http://www.nogodforme.com/Reno2010.htm


One day of rain and snow, the next was sunny, which is in the web
page.


Slopes were packed. * It was 16" of snow the previous day. * Trails
were groomed to start, turned to crud later in the afternoon. * Some
trails were not groomed which was more of a challenge. * Wiping out in
them meant walking down the hill to a flat spot.


This time of the year can be summed up as 2 days of snow (bad
conditions), 2 days of sun (go go go).


Gambling sucked, slots and VP machines were tight. * I have another
web page which talks about that.http://www.tribalwar.com/forums/show...624243&page=11


Mexican food at Lakeside Inn (Latin Soul) was the best.


Great trip. * *Heavenly is a great mountain. *Start out with the
gondola, ride the California trail, stay on the California side to
start, explore, then take the sky express to the Nevada side and eat
lunch at East Peak lodge. * Ride the Orian trail thinking of Sonny, do
Comet, and everything on the Nevada side, then head back to the
gondola. * * There's a grocery store next to the village with a great
pizza place next door, which has garlic crust pizza, yum. * * *In the
morning the grocery store has bakery treats to pick from. * *Grab a
milk and you're all set. * Buy your lift tickets 7 days in advance to
get a discount. * Rent equipment from the powderhouse here.http://www.tahoepowderhouse.com/


There was a clock tower in one of the pictures, a meeting place??


The clock tower is the Heavenly village. Yes, it can be a meeting
place. Directly under the clock is the ticket center and the
gondola.

On the north side is the Marriott, that's where I stayed.

On the south side is the Powder House ski rental shop, a breakfast
place, and a few other shops. Around the corner is an ice skating
rink, more coffee shops, a movie theater, and the Marriott vacation
resort. Across the street from that is a grocery store, pizza
joint, and more strip mall shops.

So basically, everything is in the village area, just depends on how
far you want to walk. Yes, you can tell people to meet you at the
gondola clock and they'll know where to go.

Agreed.
