Im down for sunday, what's the road up to Kirkwood like? Windy 1 lane each way? And does anybody have a tahoe card or something similar, to save money on the lift tickets?

 

The road to Kirkwood, highway 88, is a 2 lane curvy road. It closes often during storms for avalanche control. So when it is storming going to Kirkwood can be a pain. I don't have a Tahoe card because I have a season pass to Kirkwood.

 

sunday works for me. we can probably get more people to go also if its on sunday

 

Well, its only a day away so, maybe we should make some plans. When/Where are we meeting and who's going?

 

COSTCO

i work @costco & i also have the tahoe card. the 4pak ticket vouchers for $169.99 thru costco means you only pay $42.50 to ride pow! they do only come in sets of four (duh?). w/ the tahoe card, your tix would be $47 ea.

just my $0.02...hope this helps...have a blast y'all

 

alright, we need a place to meet. i was thinking somewhere in Dublin/Pleasanton along 580. as for time, ? i haven't been up there in years so i don't really know when is best to leave. so if anyone has any input on that cool. any other suggestions?

 

If we want to be on the mountain when it opens, then we need to leave Pleasonton/Dublin area by 5:30am. We can either meet at the Stoneridge mall or the Hacienda crossings (where the Imax theatre is). Probably the Hacienda crossing would be easier to find and the people coming up 580 could stay on 580.

For anybody that doesn't make it there by that time, or can't for other reasons. We can meet on the mountain somewhere. Either by a lift. Or we can meet for lunch in one of the lodges. Let me know what's easier.

 

so should we say meet at hacienda crossings at 5am.

meet in front of best buy?

 

Works for me. Meet at 5am. Leave at the lastest by 5:30 am

 

Hacienda Crossing is fine for me, don't mind a little back tracking.

edit: Who's going that doesn't have a season pass? If there are three more people I can get one of those four packs from Costco.

 

i don't have a season pass.

Oh R_master isn't going because he is in LA.
