Without a doubt that's what northstar is best know for, their parks are world class. As far as everything else? Meh. I'm just a advanced skier and I'm not really challenged by anything there. Don't get me wrong I have had tons of fun there, but I kinda think most of the crowd that goes there is the Bay Area once or twice a year gapers, lol....which I have nothing wrong with.

Hit up Bear Valley today with a few i-club folks (xxSti05xx (Steve D), Onemanarmy (Ray), stg2lgcy00 (Justin))...boy did we make the right decision on heading to Bear with this monster storm coming in. Bear's base is at 7600k and snow levels were forecasted to be at 7k+. I was watching the weather.com doppler all night and after 2 am it started to get real good and snow was piling up. We showed up to Rays cabin in Arnold early as hell and headed to Bear, all rain the whole way till 6k and it turned to heavy snow that was sticking. We got tons of fresh turns in with lots of yard sales, and double ejections on my part, lol. What a day, good powder turns are so hard to come by I knew that bear would be the best chance for me to work on my deep pow skiing. Here are some pics of today.

Hella fun day for sure. My legs are sore as **** right now though 
That pow was deeeeeep and heavy. Helped Sr20steve(Steve) recover one of his skis after his yard sale. It was buried somewhere and he couldn't find. When I unstrapped and stepped off my board, my foot sank into waist deep snow.
You had to be super cautious and careful out there today for sure.

In Tahoe right now, Sunnyside, Tahoe City. Lake Level.
Rain still at 8pm. All the snow is washing away. On the drive up it was pouring rain the whole time, even over Donner Pass.
Hoping for snow tonight or I just might have to go be dumb in Reno tomorrow.

Today sucked.... All the snow that we got from last night is almost gone. I am only hoping we get more snow because we just got washed away with all this rain. I was hoping to would snow this morning which is why I stayed last night since I figured it would be awesome but we got punched in the face with a rain spell.
Also smart move as to going to Bear... I was told they got dumped on. If I wasnt so hung over from last night I wouldve gone with my buddy haha

Current plan is to hit up Kirkwood on Saturday! I wonder how close they are to opening the backside. I can only imagine how bad the holiday crowd will be if only the front is open.
