"...rain And Snow Headed For The Sierra And Western Nevada...
The First Of Two Pacific Storms Will Move Into The Central Sierra Tomorrow. This Storm Will Bring Slightly Cooler Temperatures To The Region...and Produce Isolated Showers And Thunderstorms Over The Sierra From Sonora Pass South To The Mammoth Lakes Area.
The Second Storm Is Over The Central Pacific And Is Forecast To Reach The Northern Sierra And Northwest Nevada Between Late Saturday Afternoon And Saturday Evening. This Storm Will Bring Rain And Mountain Snow To The Area Saturday Night And Early Sunday Morning. Snow Levels Will Start Above 8000 Feet Then Lower To 6500 To 7000 Feet As A Cold Front Passes Through The Area By Sunday Morning. Several Inches Of Snow Are Possible Above 7000 Feet. If You Have Travel Plans Over The Sierra Passes Saturday Night And Sunday Morning...be Prepared For Winter Driving Conditions. Widespread Travel Difficulties Are Not Expected With This Storm."

Luckily, it's still really early in the season. Hell, winter doesn't officially begin until Friday, Dec. 21st @ 10:08pm PST. But if Xmas rolls around and only half of the resorts are open & they're still depending heavily on snowmaking, I'll be sacrificing virgins I tell ya!!!
And since I'm not looking to become a senseless homicidal maniac, I urge y'all to do your part & help get Mother Nature on our side.:RockOn - not mine: Get your snow-dance on like these guys!!! :RockOn - not mine:

Attn: Mother Nature
Bring the Bay some rain! And dump some pow on our mtn playgrounds!

Just got back from the snow show. Saw a few subys one most notably by the entrance/exit of the parking garage. WRB 04-05 w/ FMIC, supertones and I-club sticker. Also the front plate was moved to the passenger side EVO style.
From what I saw the selection was alright for apparel, and plenty of bindings/boards and boots to choose from; butron bindings especially.

boreals website says they got 5" of snow, and they are also using the snow machine to put more onto it.
says they might open tomorrow, the 12th

5 inches of Fresh Snow + Making Snow
(picture)
We've turned on the snowmaking and we are fired up adding snow to the 5 inches that fell Saturday night. We are working hard to get open (tentatively) for Monday, November 12th (Observed Veteran's Day). Please call before heading up. Scheduled hours for opening day (only) 12noon-after dark. Tentative schedule includes the Gunnar's Chairlift, offering one trail for intermediate skiers/riders, our moving carpet for beginners, and some jib features for our park riders.

^ iiiii seeeee FOOOTPRINTS!
thats cool, i want to drive up and just make a jump and maybe bring a rail to session...better than driving up AND paying $60 for a lift ticket.
or we could hike up the gunbarrel once it really starts to snow...whos with me?

My prediction is that I'll get my first turns in 5 weeks!
My hope is that we'll have substantial coverage & that most resorts will have more 50% of their runs going! Woohoo!___________________________________________
