As I've said before any day in the snow is better then a day on the beach. Ut this day stretched that statement to it's max.
Wagon train part Tres.... Can't wait. We need to get up there a couple of times before that though.

I need to get you that coupon broham. Still holding it for you. I got my tires. They look pretty sweet...actually quite similar to the pzeros. Little softer though.

When I first rode Bear I thought it sucked. Ray knows the Mtn. very well. He changed my opinion of Bear. Besides the slow azz lifts, bear is a great place to ride. I too love Sierra. It does funny things to me.

It does funny things to me.yup...it's all about where to go. It's a small mountain and can be very limiting at times. But when the snow is good and you're trying to keep up with me and jordon it's a hell of a time.
Sierra rips...we definately have to do some tahoe trips this year...I'd like to hit homewood once or twice this year as well.

costco has a double pack for like $50 right now for homewood. I plan to get one.
Tickets are mucho cheap there...they do midweek deals...multi-day deals...
You just have to hit it after it's gotten snow. It's low and small but when the snow hits there it's awesome. Some of my favorite runs ever have been there. The chutes and the trees...awesome. the triplets off to the left RIP. Drop the chutes into the huge rollers. You can literally come out of there hit a roller and float 50 feet to a perfect landing. it's nuts.

Damn... Ya folks have been doing some serious salivating while I've been gone.
Ray, ya know I'm down for Wagon Trip: Episode III. Wouldn't miss that. Da grub, da brew, da crew... all good times, bruddah!
El Jefe, too bad the cond's weren't better when ya & da wifey hit Kay-Dub, but at least ya got your first turns in already. Looks like I'm heading out in 6 hrs. Not sure where yet... gotta check all the early bird reports when I roll outta bed.
Eli, should be cool to add ya to the mix this season. Oh, and don't worry about "keeping up" on the slopes. My body's been reminding me I ain't so young anymore. Back-to-back nites of softball every wk are taking their toll. I may have to be a li'l more mellow w/ my riding. We'll see in a couple days. :crosses fingers:
I know a couple ya boyz got passes to different places, but hitting up a diff mtn, like Homewood would be cool. That place reminded me of Bear as far as facilities & lifts. Plus, it definitely had that "local" feel. Nice & chill.
Well, gotta hit the hay... I'll try not too be too graphic when I report back tomorrow nite!

hot ****ing damn
Did anyone get caught on 80 last night? Decided to hit up North* thursday...it started to snow around noon (great afternoon conditions BTW, lots of fresh stuff up top)
Well we decided to head out a bit early knowing the roads would be bad
Just our luck, we headed out like 5 minutes too late, the completely closed 80 for 3hrs (was stuck just before donner summit), then even after they opened it it was only plowed for a few miles, then after that 25 miles of unplowed suckness
All and all it took over 7 hours to get home, the evo and the pzeroneros got me back safe
Pzeronero-great in the dry/wet/slush/light snow/packed snow
slippin and sliding like a **** in 6-7" of unplowed
Man Today is going to be SICK! I imagine well over 14" fell last night
