Looks like I better leave an hour earlier in case there's slow traffic on 88. If 88 is closed i'll probably just go snowboarding on Sunday instead.
There is no way i'm going to take 50 to 89 and then down to 88. Did it once and I'm not going to do it again.

The whole dealio w/ folks flopping around loading/unloading is the M.O. everywhere on holiday wknds. Sat @Bear was way less crowded and, thus, much smoother w/ the lifts than Sun was. As far as the "weird" lay of the land: it just takes experience & familiarity. I rarely ride there, but know it well enough to get around w/o much difficulty. And I still have fun despite how madhouse the place can get.
Oh, and I love that Hollywood hit under Chair 4. It's about 1/4 - 1/3 the way up fr the bottom, yeah? I made my buddy's eyes bug out the one time I almost landed on the li'l tree in the run-out.
It's called the Hollywood hit? It's right under the lift after the groomer gets narrower, and is about 1/4 of the way up. A ton of people were taking it when I was there, and it was a blast.
Contemplating doing a kwood day trip on Monday, but might not go up if it's all tracked out.

Yea I've made the drive to kirkwood the long way one year. Up 50 to 89 and down 88 into kwood. I don't recommend it, but it did only take 5 hours despite driving through some serious snow. Thankfully there was next to nobody going to kwood that day, had the mountain to ourselves just about.
I unfortunately won't be able to make it up in this storm. Since my son is turning 1 next Friday, and we have the party set for Saturday, I have a ton of honey do list work to get completed.

Ya Ive havent done that route, nor do I want to. If 88 is closed I just dont go up. Only time Ive gone to Kirkwood via 50/89/88 is if I stayed the night in Tahoe.

Then the next week can do the same thing but at my place. You stay over and just roll out with me. I'll drop you off on the way home Sunday. That way we can get a day in each weekend.
If you want to ride this weekend drop Jordan a line. He was asking me if we were gong. I'm bummed. Sunday looks like it's gonna be sick.
But whataya gonna do.

I wish I could. I looked around the house and figured, there is no way I would be able to go this weekend and still get the house in shape before next weekend.

Looks like I'm a No-Go for 2mrw. But Sun, it's on @Kirkwood!!! And I still wanna catch up w/ y'all who plan to ride Sierra on Mon. I just need to figure who'll be taking my buddy home after shredding KW on Sun. It shouldn't be a prob b/c I know 2 other carloads of folks who I hope to catch some runs with.
So Matt, if there's space & I can work out a rtn ride for my boy, I likely be pinging you sometime soon.

C'mon make it happen, Justin. Goes Tazmanian Devil style on everything that needs to be done.
