profa_212Unfortunately, if they get what they are expecting it is pretty unlikely anything opens really. 80+ mph winds are expected through Sunday
Where are you staying? There can be some decent rails in places. But travel can shift to difficult/impossible pretty quickly with visibility/crashes/closures.
theabortionatorI wouldn't be surprised if everythings closed for a while. Northstar holds up decent in winds but the storm right now is gnarly.
Hopefully your trip is long enough to get to sunday/early midweek when things chill out.
somburdWe leave monday... welp
theabortionatorDamn do you have the ability to check out other mtns? Check in with Northstar and maybe even Diamond Peak.
Idk. I think it really depends on if the winds stay high through the storm. Good luck though. Hopefully you get at least a decent day in.
somburdWe can go to northstar for sure but the epic pass does not work at diamond peak. Worse case scenario we go to diamond and take an L and spend some more money. Gotta do what we can to make the most of the trip. Im definietly skiing street tho.
Plus I can use any unused passes at Afton Alps in MN haha. (That place sucks but whatever. Fuck Vail).
somburdThat being said, if anyone knows any good street spots in incline village, let me know asap
somburdI just skied the most insane powder I have ever seen. We made it to northstar and winds were minimal actually. Many locals saying it was the most snow they have ever seen haha. Wild time.
theabortionatorFuck yeah! If you didnt make it in there Martis camp is my favorite lift. Sugar pine glade in there is sick. Nothing huge so you can send anything you see. Fun underrated
zone.
Glad you made it! They do way better for winds but its been so windy at night I wasnt sure if they'd even be able to open. Hope you get a good day in tomorrow before you gotta leave!!
Weird jerries and jaded squaw locals will rip on it and say "flatstar" but I've had some of the best powder days of my life at that mountain. When its good it's good. Deep snow in the open trees is super fun.
Stoked for ya!! We didn't even open at Mammoth today. 100+mph with a gust of 170 last night.
somburdWill definitely check it out, more lifts will def open tmrw. Comstock opened around 1:30 and when we got to the top, that was the most intimidating thing I’ve ever seen. Can say I did it in Vishnu wets, not the most optimal ski for that haha. The pow was up to my waist (I am 6’3” so it was high), absolutely insane.
