I think you were talking to me on this one...I do have the 12.5:1 RevLab setup, but I think they must be out of business or changed the web-site.

I'm in Sac so I don't really go to any meets in the BA. Sac meet is gone; closest is Davis or Elk Grove which I've maybe attended once. But if you want to get together let me know...

 

Damn, you are one picky SOB. People travel from all over the world to ride, work and live at Tahoe.

 

I understand what the base is I read you the number of their base. I've never seen fresh snow not counted on the base? You seem to be not understand how it works.

You add the base and new snowfall together that gives you the new base (assuming you don't wait 2 days after the storm)

The new snowfalls and is there 20 inches lets say. the base is 20 inches higher, maybe 2 days later some has melted and blah blah so the base is less. I think you are incorrect man..........

and who cares??? when there is 12 feet of new snow I don't give a **** what you want to call it.

All I know is many people agree Tahoe has awesome powder. You saying its the worst ever shows me you didn't ride tahoe much or you started riding in the last 2 years.

We **** on the whole country and even canada for a while a couple years ago. It was amazing snow, very dry powder. You just can't deny that.

 

How can you tell what region has better powder? do you have a teleporter or did it take you a few days in between to get to each location aka variable aka i dont think anyone can say where has the best powder.

I'm sure there is a nats *** difference though

 

Wow! Why in the world are we arguing the nuances of snowfall measurement? We're all loco for that.

One thing I'll have to disagree with you on though is your statement:
"...tahoe is well known for some of the best powder because they get really dry pow."

First let me say that the only places I have ridden outside our beloved Sierras is Mt. Hood & Big Bear. Although I don't have first-hand experience with say Utah's renowned "CHAMPAGNE POWDER," I do understand basic meteorology. If you do, too, you'd know that our proximity to the ocean means our snowfall has the highest percentage of H2O. So I'm a bit puzzled as to how we have "dry" powder. Maybe I'll call my buddy that lives in Colorado to explain your theory to me.

So that's my piece o' the pie. I hope y'all get a chance to enjoy our cool & sunny conditions. I'll be @ Heavenly on Friday to use my Warren Miller voucher.

 

i went to Tahoe Dec 27th and i was sitting my *** in the dry powder all day waiting for slow pokes and didnt get wet.

I'm sure theres a difference but people who complain about a certain areas are just snobs or *******s...or PRO snowboarders

 

i've ridden long enough and far enough to have a view of many places in the world for snowboarding. indiana, tahoe, colorado, utah, wyoming, the french alps, the swiss alps, to name a few. i've seen my fair share of snow in my young life time, and yes, more than just 2 years worth. I believe to have myself a very wide view of types of conditions, types of powder, types of snow and types of terrain. tahoe is a mole hill. simple as that. tahoe does not have dry powder. not in comparison to many parts of the world.
Don't get me wrong, it may be dry compared to others but its middle at best in the spectrum of snow conditions. i'm not denying the fact people from all over the world come here to board, thats truth because almost EVERY location that has skiing as a tourist attraction has people travel from across the globe. You can name almost anywehre that has a mountain and snow and it will be a place where tourists will ski at.
Again, i LOVE tahoe, its fast, its convenent, and has great places to board. but its still tiny. I love every moment i get to shred up in the sierra's. It can be absoulate slush and you'll still see me in the park. THere's just bigger and better places out there which i prefer. thats all.

 

go to utah any year anywhere inbetween dec and march. you'll be blown away.

 

quoted for truth, at least someone has an idea of how things work.

 

Nah, Kyle, I think it's more of a "To each, his own" kinda thing!

And remember that these are generalities that Tahoe & the Pac Northwest typically has "wetter" snowfall in comparison to that which falls in the Rockies. Key word: typically

Now let's squash this & go butter some bread...

 

And when you go, get off the beaten path and head to Powder Mountain and Snowbasin. Promise you'll have fun with way less crowds too boot.

 

Daredevil sure has a way with words. "Tahoe is the ****tiest place Ive ever riden, but damn its great, I love it!"

 

Kinda like saying, "Of all the L.A. "10"s I've shagged, by far, the worst lay was... Jennifer Connelly."

translation: So yeah, Tahoe's awesome. But it's not my numero uno. That's all.

 

Heres a few pics of my alpine trip last weekend.


This was some great trea riding on the backside.


Waxing is key

 

that's all i'm saying


plus the part about "typical snowfall is very wet"
