Yikes! What do ya mean by "rough?" We talking bullet-proof sheet of ice? Or just pretty firm in the morning & in the shade, but softens up OK by lunchtime? Just wondering, bruddah, cuz I've got a daytrip in my crosshairs tmrw.
Oh and glad you got a pair of days in. How many so far? I'm still sitting on ONLY 3.
But stoked that the storm door's re-opening by Wed next week! 
Nice! Sounds like you fellas made the most of your wknd!
Can't wait for our annual. We gotta do St. Paddy's Day! So bummed I missed last year.
Shame on me.

Shame on me.it was hard as a rock. A couple inches of snow came in over night and during the day but it was snow on top of a brick of ice.
The sun wasn't out long enough to loosen anything up. No wind so that was good. But yeah... groomer racing type of day.
And the 3 of us were having ummm... balance issues first thing when we got there so it was a slow start.
St. Patty's day is the front runner for a date right now.

I went to kwood yesterday and as we were rolling up there it started snowing real good. I was thinking that they might be getting more snow than they anticipated. I get there and was with a bunch of folks who had to rent gear so I just hopped on cornice and caught one of the first several chairs and it was 6+" of fresh fallen snow that was butter smooth a d effin amazing even on the groomers it was just all new snow from that quick little dumping they got that morning. I went to go try and link up with my buddies and by the next chair all the new snow was plowed through and it was soo ****in icy. Very sketchy conditions with all the tracked out new snow and ice layers. I was riding my park skis and they couldn't hold a edge very well, even slipped out from under me a few times on edge. I need some nice fattys badly. It stayed real cold all day but around 2 the conditions got a little better. Still had a blast though.

I found a few runs that not to many people get to that still had a nice layer of untouched on them. Was able to blast through that pretty good a few runs until it got chewed up. Once the fresh was moved it was nuthin but brick.
Nearly got taken out by a 14 year old kid. I sware... if the kid was older I would have broke his nose.

at the "balance issues" yesterday morning. And what the hell were y'all drinking that tore your throats up? 151? The bar's private blend of 'shine? 
And much mahalos for all the conds updates from all of you guys. Even you, Steve, ya two-planker!

Gonna take a look at some webcams & reports to figure out which spot to ride. For now, it's btwn Alpine & N*. Both spots will be $50 w/ the deals that are out there. 50% off or more! WOOT WOOT
Looks like all my regular shred bros can't come out & play tomorrow, so I've got 3 open seats in my wagon for my solo (so far) day trip.
I've got Alpine Meadows & Northstar in my crosshairs. If you're not a passholder to either spot, both places will be $50 via a couple different deals. I've got a Shell 2-for-1 for Alpine, and Sierra Avalanche Center has an online pre-purchase (by midnite).
Any takers? Especially you Tahoe Super & EPIC passholders!

I didn't end up hitting the slopes today. I did a li'l Uncle Day Care for a few hours. But I did shred the asphalt on my freebord for a couple hours.
So I'm trying to line up a day trip to N* on Thurs. Any Tahoe Local or Epic passholders wanna ride Shaun & Torstein's mtn?
I just PM'd ya to see if you'd be down for N* instead of Homewood.
