That looks like a blast!

 

[Philpug]

Damn..didn't hit the banked slalom.

 

[Jed Peters]

Damn..didn't hit the banked slalom.

We didn't exactly "miss" it, did we?

 

[Susie]

No... that banked slalom course along with the bumps course looked a little too sketch for my taste... though, enjoyed the entertainment from the lift!

 

[Alexzn]

Damn, that banked slalom looks great Happy end of the season everybody!

Now, what are your predictions for the next season?

I will start, lets get the really stupid prediction out of the way first- there will be some snow at some point next ski season ;-)

But seriously, what do you guys expect the next Tahoe season to be now that we got at least a one-year respite from the drought and the state of panic that gripped Tahoe ski industry for the last few years.

Fun times with @Susie @Philpug @4ster and Alfred--don't know screen name.

Missed the Pug ski banner even though my car is the blue one directly in front of Phils car. Met @Philpug and @Susie as they were about to leave.
Also missed them on the hill. Met another local Dave -an epic guy. Skiing was actually quite good for a closing day. Couldn't decide between sades
or reverse traverse. did reverse traverse. Palisades looked super good and were going off with a lot of people.

My prediction -

• There will be snow
• We will ski
• We will talk about skiing
• We will get together with friends and socialize
• We will ski some more

It is supposed to be a La Nina year. Will that bring the 800" inches we has last time? Probably not but between what we had this year, and that, would be great. What Squaw did at the end of the season with the $19.00 tickets was brilliant, it brought many skiers to the hill that would have otherwise hung their skis up, they are proclaiming Squaw to be the "Capital of Spring Skiing", I see that carrying over. Mt. Rose under new ownership? I heard a rumor that they were in escrow. Could it be Mammoth? Maybe, but that is a name that was speculated. Northstar's parking will be even more of a mess. I haven't heard of any new lifts.

This photo was taken on Headwall. That is a lot of snow!!

 

[Susie]

It sounds like Mammoth still has some really good skiing. Who is up for a day trip there from Truckee/Reno this Sunday Jun 5?

 

[Stev]

Dookey67 skiing near Tamarack Peak on June 1st.

 

[Tricia]

Little bit of rain last night....
Mountain biking is going to be off the charts!!

 

[Tricia]

I was thinking about this time of year in 2011, coming off the LaNiña season and the difference in snow pack at Squaw compared to actually skiing Squaw on 4th of July just 5 years ago. Hoping we see this next year with the promise of LaNiña.


Screen shot of Roundshot at Squaw today.

This sure looks better than it has in a few years.

No
That was the year after LaNina
We had over 800 during LaNina

Is the blob still relevant?

I would be thrilled with average. This past winter was nice and active, skied lots of powder and everything filled in nicely. More of that. More cold storms would also be great.

If someone sees BA drop one of those early midsummer observations post it here.

I thought I'd bump this thread to let all of the Tahoe people know about this Mt Biking skills clinic for women this coming weekend.
July 9, 10th

I hear great things about Dylan and his clinics.
