This just in from a friend in tahoe:
well we received a very nice dry & cold 18" here in Tahoe over the long
weekend and the skiing's back on in a big way. and Hot Buttered Rum is
playing in Incline Village friday night.

http://www.hotbutteredrum.com

almost every ski area is also running a $20 special on sat & sun..... it's a
beginner package for a lesson, rental equipment and lift ticket. all for
$20/day
and it's happening @ Squaw, Alpine Meadows and Northstar.

it's happening above 6000' up here in a big way



so, you've got deals and bluegrass on fri night. sounds good to me...

If you're not hitting rocks you're not trying..

You really don't need a rock board 5 days after a storm. Ever!

Really? Thanks. sarcasm Tell that to my NeverSummer that I scrapped up
more in one day at Alpine Meadows in Dec 01 then I have since then. It
snowed about 2 feet a couple days before then but there wasn't much of a
base. So you go off-piste in search of the goods and your board gets carved
up like butter.

Two feet of light powder condenses to to 6 inches after 5 days. Plus,
if, at a relatively small resort like Alpine Meadows, you find
untracked snow there must be a reason...like rocks. Sorry you
thrashed your board.

Wise words mate.

I think that goes for any resort. I had a graphic reminder after getting
carried away at Jackson Hole. I just *knew* there shouldn't have been any
untracked left, but I went for it anyway not really thinking. Put about
10 core shots into my board as I then went tumbling face first. Luckily I
landed on the outside of the rock band. Could have been worse.

I haven't posted here for years but I just spotted this. I'm here for the
season so I can keep you all informed. It's been dumping for a couple of day
now, probably no need for a rockboard any more.

Not that I'd know I'm stuck at home injured until mid Jan.

Have fun
