Make sure Squaw is in your plans. By far the best resort in Tahoe. Kirkwood is pretty good also.

this has been a slow season for me too! One trip to Colorado (Copper and Breck) and one trip to Whistler; nothing in the east. I might do a late feb weekend in VT. Killington is the likely destination (haven't been there since i was 16).

just booked tahoe two weekends from now! It's looking like Squaw on the 21st and 22nd. flights, hotels, and cars are so cheap right now; you peeps should take advantage of these deals! i just booked EWR (newark) to SFO (san francisco) for $250 (two weeks from date of booking). Harrahs in Reno for $60 a night, and a car for $30 a day.

i wish continental flew to SLC so i could go there and get points.

Be careful out there Guys.

7 feet of pow pow in the tahoe area while i was there. omfg.

2 days at kirkwood, one day at heavenly, one day at alpine meadows and one day at squaw valley. err yeah definitely spoiled. it's a totally different feeling going through thigh deep powder.

What kind of board did you use for powder? Sounds like a sick time im definetaly jealous!

i was using a 154 custom ICS with bindings set all the way back... this helped with float a bit, but i regret not bringing my 160 custom x for cutting through the pow pow.

7 feet of cascade crete wasn't as fun as i thought (i had it a few years back at Squaw). It was soooo heavy and i would get stuck easily.

I was in tahoe 2 weekends ago - squaw and northstar. It fucking rained - i was drenched, but on the up-side, northstar has a ridiculous park.


I'm going for seconds in colorado at the end of march. Probably hitting up Cooper and Arapahoe. Also, I'm definitely trying woodward while i'm there. Two words: FOAM PIT!!

yeah tahoe's snow is thick. but depending on the resort it wasn't so bad getting out. heavenly and some portions of squaw are difficult to maneuver because of flat portions. kirkwood is pretty much downhill thankfully. alpine meadows was the worst experience ever.

Squaw is undoubtedly the best resort in tahoe. KT22 (steeps), Granite Chief (rocks), and Red Dog (trees) are all sick. It's only flat when you're crusing to the bottom from the top of the funitel.

Next time you go to cali you should try Mammoth. The main problem with Mammoth is how far it is away from civilization. It's a 5 hour drive from LA, 5 hour drive from Vegas, 6-7 hour drive from SF (even though it's closer - all of the passes are closed during the winter), and even 3 hours from Reno. Since mammoth is about 2-3K feet higher than tahoe, the snow stays around longer, and from my experience, the snow was a little drier (it's a little dryer the more south you go). I went in May a few years back and was absolutely blown away by the place (still not better than whistler - based purely on terrain).

one last trip -- stowe this time. hooray for slush

Going back to colorado this upcoming weekend. Summit county is expecting about 20 inches of snow tonight and tomorrow, and snow showers throughout the week. I'm pretty excited the weather is forecasted to be cold, considering the long range forecast a week ago was for temps in the 40s - 50s this entire upcoming week. It looks like I may get a little powder at the end of March.
