Might be going up to North Star Monday, don'on t feel like getting stuck on the road though haha

On the road from bear now. Lot was almost full yesterday and today. Killed both days though. What u drive up? Wrecked my back but still crushed today.

Obviously that is the route I would have rather gone, however a $6 roll of painrer tape vs $350 clear bra, tape wins hands down

Well...my bro's been staying with one of his bro's in Truckee and they rode Squaw on Monday (limited lifts due to wind) and Northstar today. No lines, no waiting, powder all day!

They're riding tomorrow...more than likely Northstar again...I'm gonna brave the storm and drive right in! Going solo so if you're a strong rider and don't mind crazy weather hit me up...I'm gonna leave about 5:30 ~ 6:am from Roseville and see how far I can get...maybe I'll only get to Sugar, Donner, or Boreal...but I'm riding powder regardless if the roads are open! But the plan is Northstar unless the wind dies down...then its Squaw for sure!

Good day to try out the Gore-Tex AK gear from Christmas

Was hoping to use this free ticket I had but couldn't cause of the holiday and didn't have the $84 for the holiday lift ticket.

Yup. The same time I checked the road info, I looked into how the resorts were going. Lots of 'em closed completely or were on SUPER limited lift ops due to TONS of snow & that "nasty" wind.

Sat is supposed to rip! If you can swing it, get as much time on the mtn as you can... esp. since their lifts are those "lovely" slow triples & doubles like the ones we've become very fond of at Bear.

I'm heading up to the North Shore on early Fri morning, then coming back after getting our slide on Sat! I may pack my snorkel since they'll easily reach the 6+ feet of fresh from this series of storms.

Even though last week's predictions had 10+ ft in their forecasts, I think I can "manage" just fin w/ "only" 6 ft or so.

I'm just glad the Bay finally got more rain & our mtn playgrounds got more pow!

riDONKulous! powder turns for days! We shut it down about 2:30 as the storm was getting crazy with the wind and snow...but we just worked the back side of North* to the boarders right (or left when you get off the chair) of the mountain...tree runs with 2 feet of fresh all day!

Drive home was top 3 worst storm driving ever for me...and that's saying something with 19 years of boarding under my belt. Road was closed for awhile so just grabbed some Taco Bell and waited.

One dude spun out in front of me, caught the guardrail, bounced back into the slow lane and kept going!!!! caught me a bit off guard but no spin for Lowball.
