Here comes the white stuff! Is everyone ready?

 

In tahoe rite now!! snow is dropping ! just got back from the gas station and had a nice little drift around a couple corners

 

Sweet! I'm itching to get up there. Gotta wait for November though... tic... toc...

 

Finally it's come! I'm really thinking the SV and alpine pass is in my future. time to break away from the double whammy and swoop on a bad *** new pass.

 

Lake Tahoe Six Pack Ticket (2011-12 Season) | Ski Lake Tahoe

Just got this. I have only been to Boreal, Heavenly, and Northstar to board so I am excited to finally be able to try out Kirkwood, Sierra, and Squaw etc.

I had the triple whammy last year and was only about to go up twice since my car was not running, hopefully I will actually be able to go up this year! I just hate going on weekends and with my job it is going to be tricky to try and go up during the week where it is not packed as fffff

 

this winter is looking very promising already...need to go buy some new gloves and goggles!

 

Hahaha definitely was Cliff! Don't have to use the phrase "my friend online told me...." anymore hahahaha

What's the rules for being on closed resorts land? Don't get caught and your good?? I seen a video from someone up at Alpine Meadows talking about the conditions and mentioning people should come up before this weekends heat rolls in. I'm not aware of any resorts being open.

 

I love going to squaw, esp since I get free lift tix during the weekdays lol. (Military Discount) I hope they apply it to the new mountain merger!! Was driving through last night and yeah the snow was falling all over the place. Boreal Hill looked like it should be open there was so much snow

 

2 feet at the wood today!

 

Are the tickets you get via military discount only to be used by yourself or just a regular ticket? I ask cause my brother is in the military and has heard how they get free and discounted tickets but we weren't sure if only he could use them.

 

When you go to ticketing and show your active duty ID you get a free day pass. They may offer a discounted ticket for family but Im not sure. Other mountains offer discounted passes for family members and a free pass for active duty.
*edit* He should be able to go to his outdoor rec/MWR ticket office on base and get discounted passes if hes stationed in the greater norcal area. I know they do it here on Travis AFB

*edit 2* from Homewoods site:
Homewood Mountain Resort stands behind all of our men and women in the armed forces. As a thank you, Homewood offers active duty military FREE lift tickets, with a valid Common Access Card. Spouses and children of active duty military personnel also receive 50% off day lift tickets when accompanied by active duty military personnel with valid C.A.C. card.

 

Awesome!! Thanks for the info, I'll have to get on him about looking into that since he's stationed in Colorado.

 

asdfghjkl my R.E.I snow report app just alerted me to 12" of overnight snowfall at Squaw/Sierra and 22" in the last 72 hours...that thing hasnt gone off since like march lol. Im ready to hike out somewhere next week if it holds damn! I hope it keep scoming down and they open early

 

Boreal is going to open on Halloween. They're gonna crank up the snow makers every time it snows till then. Let's pray for more white gold.

 

yeah I drove through the pass the other day and holy sheeit it looked like Boreal should have been open. it was snowing as I was driving at like 3 in the afternoon and the whole hill was solid white lol. I wanted to go park and hike around (my board was in the trunk lol) but I didnt want to get arrested or something. As for it being open on Halloween, I dont think Id make the drive and pay to go to that hill. Just not worth it to me. That, and I dont have my clear bra on my car yet so I dont want to get any more chips....
