Official Tahoe Thread

theabortionatorEven though regionals are deader than NS in general I'll say hello.

Probably North Lake for the next few seasons working at Northstar. Living in KB for this year. Mostly just riding the VRs. Trying to get to Kirkwood more but it's a bit of a mission. Also a few Boreal days and some BC stuff when we get some fucking snow.

mirozI made the mistake of going to Northstar yesterday. It was insane. The park was fun, but the people, parking, and snow situation were awful. I know it was a holiday, but I probably won't be back unless I'm looking for weekday park. Were you there?

theabortionatorNah i fucked my neck and back up so i havent been riding the last week.

mirozDidn't miss much. I'll be at Kirkwood tomorrow afternoon and Sunday, hopefully there's still some snow left.

.CJ.Looking for a homie to shred with at North Tahoe. Not sure which resort yet, but it's looking like its gonna be Boreal. Probably gonna be there Thursday or Friday but just PM if you wanna try to link up.

mirozIf I remember correctly (and forgive me if you already know this), Boreal does $15 tickets on Fridays if you have a college ID.

theabortionatorMy season is donezo. On tuesday I hooked up on the donkey of the zfd rail.

If anybody want to have a beer or 5 ever north lake let me know. Kinda trapped at the aparment. Might go to the grid tommorrow and get drunk. Cant ski, not super mobile yet and kinda bummed on the season ending but whatever. I still scored a few pow days.

theabortionatorFer twenny blaze

mirozI know you're donezo for the season, but do you have any idea how Northstar's parks are holding up this week after the rain? Thinkin' about playing hooky tomorrow and skiing some park, and as far as I know, Northstar >> Heavenly.

theabortionatorProbably pretty good although 2 weeks since Ive been out. Ive been south lake and now Sac since Thursday. Ill be at the mtn tomorrow or the next day. Can update if you dont end up going.

JoeF2661Bump for autumn hype.

hippy.I saw Opensnow saying we may get mountain snow this week. That will be followed by "regular" systems heading in after that.

JoeF2661Yea. I've been following the forecast myself. Fucking praying el nino makes it dump this year. Where you ride?

hippy.When we get dumped on Diamond Peak (3 minutes away & doesn't close, awesome expert terrain), but mostly SVAP this year because IKON isn't bad. #fuckvail

connecticuntjust moved to south lake and in dire need of friends, message me with your applications thank you in advance and I have a very cute dog who is a 10/10 good girl

theabortionatorI wanted to pick up a couple days there but Northstar runs us 5 days a week. Wish I could do 4 10s and pick up 2 and the occasional 3 days at DP. They seem to be trying to get their park program rolling. I've still never actually ridden there though. Maybe this season.

RimJobberWassup girl







Also back on my bullshit, gonna be patrolling at Northstar again this year. If anyone wants some discounted tickets or to ski around while I'm at work one day hit me up

theabortionatorI'm making snow until mid dec ish and then moving back to park grooming. Working grave so usually cruise in the mornings and then gtfo unless it's deep or I'm with friends.

RimJobberHellya! I'm on vacation right now and won't be back until December but after that I'm around all winter. Down to rip some runs in the mornings when I do my work!

Sk1fr1endHey guys, im looking for some advice. Im moving next year to start ski bumming and cooking full time. Im pretty much dead set on north shore tahoe but im wondering if someone could play devils advocate and tell me some shit stories or give me reasons why you moved. Feel free to DM me brothers.

theabortionatorHousing is getting harder. It's not even as much about $$$ as it is about just finding a spot. If you're here year round it's not as bad. You can jump on a better spot when you find it.

Truckee traffic is pretty whack. Kings Beach can be a clusterfuck as well when it's busy. Driving from KB to Northstar for work at 3:30pm the Tuesday after MLK it took us 1:45 for what usually takes 12 min. Also any roads that head toward the bay. Even taking 50 from South Lake toward Sac.

There are some fun mountains, My cars fucked atm but trying to ride more places this year. I like it here though. I dig it more than when I lived in CO. I moved here to work at Northstar, only here for the winters but I like it.

If you're set on coming go for it. Honestly for the most part if you're set on moving anywhere you should. IF it's a super sketchy, horribly terrible idea maybe somebody should talk you out of it. That said, I'm guessing you like to ski, there are mountains and snow. You cook, there are restaurants. There's a lake, there's more mountains, there's good music, idk. Maybe you love it maybe you don't but might as well check it out.

mike_eanyone know of any cheap places to shower in mammoth? or showers you could easily poach?

SeekingseasonsHot springs?

mike_eyeah, i camp out at the hot springs and probably will for like a month in may. i want to take an actual actual shower every once and a while though.

BagOTricksGonna be at Northstar/Squaw from the 23rd to the 27th. Anyone know the status of Northstar's parks? Also, how far is Woodward from Northstar?

theabortionatorNorthstar is about 20 min from boreal if there aren't traffic issues.

Parks are on point. Jumps are fucking killer right now, rails are hit or miss. Some of the take offs or general sets are a little wonkey and lower pinball could use less boxes but otherwise solid.

Also have 2 pipes side by side because mad snow. Mini pipe isnt really my jam but the 18 has been riding real nice the last week now thst it isnt snowing a thousand feet every day.

Ill be up there pretty much everyday. Usually ride 2 or 3 days a week after work.

If you like big jumps the 2 jump line in straights is killler but its more than i feel like hitting this season. Jut got back on jumps and almost blew out the knees already. Today was first day hitting 123 in pinball in 2 weeks. Felt good and honeslty 2 and 3 are pretty big. Nothing wild but you get some hang time.
