Ok. I live in Tahoe. I just got back from windells. It sucked. I got sick about half way through and had to leave early. To fill the missing hole in my heart for skiing. I want to go to the patch in south lake. I've heard that it's still good. And people are sending rods and cork 5s and stuff like that. I've heard about it. Never actually been there though. Anybody been there lately? Tips. I think I know that it's near red lakes out about 25 miles. Reviews on the snow there would be helpful.

not allowed, ski patrol will kick you out.
The patch is pretty neat. I wouldn't expect seeing any significant amount of snow up there right now though.

Yeah pretty rough year for snow. Can't imagine there is too much left.

I was up there like a month ago and there was still a ton of snow. There was a couple jumps set up. Im sure a lot has melted over the past month. Probably not enough left to build a jump. I think there are some pvc tubes up there though.
