Not so Heavenly

Post by irab82 »

Tahoe resorts getting slammed by snow, r*in, wind. Closed again for the 2nd straight day. The Pineapple Express is wide open.

Looking at the cam it doesn't look promising that they will be open. Lifts are buried. http://www.skiheavenly.com/video-and-in ... -cams.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thought they might have been able to open.

Spring break 1982, when everyone else was in Ft. Lauderdale, a group of us were in Tahoe. Last run of the last day after 6 days, was GunBarrel. Was a warm late winter day and the moguls were huge, I mean really huge. Base temp was probably over 50 and half way down, the snow got really heavy. By the time I got down, I was done but the memories linger.

Will never forget first time seeing Gunbarrel from the base lodge and thinking .. 'this place ain't so big'.
What a surprise once you clear that first ridge :shock: and see the expanse of terrain .. all the way down to the cacti. :like

Hope they get all the avi work properly done, as this last storm looks like it set up multiple slab layers.

today was pretty heavenly. opened up gun barrel at around 1230. waist deep in the woods in spots if you sank down. skiers left and right woods down gun barrel were insane. all time conditions and a few more feet predicted for tonight.
mount rose was closed because the mount rose highway was closed.

Looks good. Temps stayed cool and does not look mankey.

5 more inches today and sunny Friday and Saturday.

Motts should be good by then.

Looks like things are still a mess out there. Most resorts closed again today. Power outages. Supermarkets running out of food and gas stations running out of gas.

Mt Rose announced via fb this afternoon that they will "try" to operate tomorrow. They haven't spun since Sunday. Their fb page has some pretty unbelievable photos.
