anybody out there? i'm getting reports through resort that it's still dumping out there.
is it really? i'm thinking about hitting it up next weekend for a long weekend. is it a good time?
14-18?

 

[SkaredShtles]

They are reporting another foot overnight. And 152" base. Sounds like great spring conditions to me.

Although wouldn't Utah be a much shorter drive? Snowbird is reporting another foot in 24hrs and a 152" base as well.

[JRB]

Drive?

Yeah - for the times you don't have your airplane, bike, tractor or train.

ps - I think he was TRYING to be funny. He misses that mark quite a lot.

Why do you stalk The Toninator?

 

[JRB]

Why do you stalk The Toninator?

How am I stalking him by being funny. Or I think it is anyway. I posted on mojo how he can actually get the answer by PMing kidwoo or amydalana, or someone else that lives up there. Why do you stalk me???

 

[Brian HCM#1]

Why do you stalk The Toninator?

Because he's horny?

 

[SkaredShtles]

Drive?

Ahhh........ sometimes I forget that people can afford to fly places on the spur of the moment.

Utah would still be better - much closer to the airport.

 

[The Toninator]

HEY! you got any reports for me? You gotta place up there.

 

[Brian HCM#1]

It's been snowing up there. My place is on the other side of the lake from Heavenly. However my place is rented out that weekend.

 

[JRB]

I wish Uncle still lived at south shore. I just don't have the desire to go to San Francisco to visit.

You're unavoidable. Believe me, I've tried.

Your butt still sore from the last visit?

There are tons of places to stay up in South Shore, from decent hotels to dumpy motels.



Hey I made a rhyme

Never went to SF, dillweed.

 

[Brian HCM#1]

Well it sure sounded like it, nutlick.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Quit crapping on Ton's ski post, Dillholes!

hey Craphole is my middle name! Tahoe Colony Inn is right across from the gondola and it's $60 a night right now.

 

[JRB]

Are all the bike shops ski shops in the winter??? I went in one shop down by the grocery store. There was a V-10 with a destroyed wheel and a broken shiver. Funny guys at the shop though.

edit - that's a cheap rate. How cheap are flights???

 

[Heidi]

Tony, come to Bend!

 

[justsomeguy]

I was there with the groms on Sunday. The base is deep, the crowds are gone...but having said that, it's still Heavenly aka Flattenly. If you're flying out to ski Tahoe, I would send you to Squaw instead.

We got rained out on Monday. The snow level was above 8,000 feet. Tuesday the snow level dropped to around 4,000 feet and it dumped again.

 

[The Toninator]

but having said that, it's still Heavenly aka Flattenly

me=n0Ob i dont know what that means.

 

[SkaredShtles]

me=n0Ob i dont know what that means.

It means if you really like steep black runs then Heavenly might not be the place you want to go.

It's sorta like Vail in that regard.

 

[justsomeguy]

me=n0Ob i dont know what that means.

That means it's almost as sh|tty as Flatstar aka Northstar but it has better infrastructure.

If you're tied to South Lake because you want to hit the casino scene at night, Kirkwood is worth the 40 minute drive.

 

[amydalayna]

I live a mile from Heavenly off of ski run. So here's my 2 cents.
Now would be the time to come to south shore because the crowds are dwindling. As for bike shops.... LTD right near the gondola has all their bike stuff out year round.
There are too many cheap hotels around to count. And even if you're not right near Heavenly, there is a free Heavenly shuttle.

thanks Amy. I've been a couple of times and take the shuttle from the airport and leave the car rental for the tourist ( i dont think i could drive on snow with a tank)
the crap trap across from the gondola is just perfect for me.

I kind of feel the same way, but the redneck in me tells me to go for it. It can't be any different than mud. I do get worried about the 100 ft deep bar ditches though.

 

[amydalayna]

have you ever gone out to kirkwood? that's my favorite mountain. it's much steeper than heavenly. but heavenly has some good hikeable stuff that doesn't get tracked out.

i get bored and antsy this time of year and (try to) switch to riding my bike. so i'm out less and less on the mtn as the spring progresses.

Yea i've heard of Kirkwood but it looks a little above my skill set. I might try it next year if i go.
