It's just as bad as the North Shore vs. South Shore around the lake. Haven't we learned fr BigE & Pac? hehe"Can't We All Just Get Along?"
ok... before you say it, El Jefe, I'll shut up now.

Bah. Tahoe. Who needs it. LOL!!!!!!
I like my small homey mountain with nice stashes and no lines......for now. They're making all kinds of changes. Bah.
Personally I hate heavenly. Too expensive. Too crowded. To tight ***. When the snow is good the mountain can be outstanding....if it was empty. But if the snow is good I'd rather go to homewood. Homewood rips when the snow is good. Or Sugar or Kirkwood.
So I'll see you guys in a couple hours and el dukeh. eh.
We'll have to set up this weekend and pick a couple dates for the options on the next one. When we get better snow...>I hope.

heavenly sucks... i got a season pass for x-mas there because its like a mile from our cabin but i dont like it at all... first of all the lines are horrible, its always crowded, you have to ride like 3 or 4 lifts just to get to the good stuff, AND there are flat spots everywhere!

i grew up in placerville (about 50 min from tahoe) so i always went to sierra mid week... but now im livin down here in SF and work m-f so I only make it up on weekends... but sierra is the best cuz the parks are good but you can also just cruise down the mountain and hit the trail jumps..
my fav. run @ sierra is sugar & spice to corkscrew to beaver.

Northstar is up there in lift lines, but getting in/out of northstar is 10x easier

Ray & li'l Jeff are meeting up in Tracy w/ Justin. I think they're leaving @noon. From Tracy, Justin will be taking his wgn w/ Ray shotgun. Li'l Jeff will be driving his whip as well b/c he's heading back on Sun after breakfast (such a dedicated college student!). I was gonna meet up w/ El Jefe & we were gonna roll up in the pimped out SRT2 fr Mt. View. I'm able to leave w/ the other 3 guys. I was only waiting til later so that he had company on the drive. If it looks as if you & Jeff could roll out together, maybe we can work something out so I roll w/ the other 3 fellers @noon.
Btw, this is Cliff.
