Spring conditions this holiday weekend. Lots of great costumes out on the hill already, good job!
And then storms on the way for the rest of the year… yay!
A “busy” weekend, Crow’s and Summit opened
Well there were tons of people everywhere compared to the early-season emptiness before the weekend, and a packed parking lot… but not a lift line to speak of. Crow’s and Summit opened for the first time this season. I don’t think I’ve ridden Summit in _years_. I thought they only ran it on blackout dates, haha.
One week of lift-served skiing left in 2022 for the slightly restricted crowd. Get out there and enjoy!
Disco Cat is spinning records at Alibi!
Super-special non-cave, non-mountaintop Disco Cat shows! Playing all vinyl sets in support of Tam’s vinyl swap. Come out, listen to some tunes and buy or swap some records.
Incline TODAY, Wednesday the 14th at Alibi Incline @ 4-6pm (possibly later)
and
Truckee SUNDAY the 18th at Alibi Truckee, noon-3pm
Bluebird Monday
Feet of snow on the untouched peaks and sunshine What more could you ask for? The weekend’s snow settled a bit and was way more navigable without getting stuck. Dis, Lincoln and the gates all opened up fairly early and lots of pow was crushed.
Sunshine in the forecast for now… time for this guy to break out the skins and visit Lunch Rock.
Deep storm-skiing weekend
It is DEEP out there. Sugar managed to operate Dis on Saturday and Jerome & Tree on Sunday. Heard bombs coming from Lincoln all day long Sunday.
Monday is going to be a glorious bluebird day! Wear your pow tails!
Bluebird Friday, a stormy weekend and an empty bluebird Tuesday
Wow. What a start to the season!
Friday brought us the season’s first pow day, and what a glorious day it was! Dry, blower pow and sunshine.
Storms over the weekend, and Disney opened on Sunday offering a nice change from Lincoln laps.
Tuesday was once again sunny and bluebird! Patrol worked their asses off and we were treated to tons of new terrain. Sugar Bowl, the Sisters and Silver Belt all opened for the first time this season. So exciting to see all those gates open!
And… 5 (?!) feet on the way this weekend. Saturday looks like positively brutal blizzard conditions, not sure even this die-hard storm skier will brave that. Sugar is top-notch when it comes to operating in storm conditions but I don’t know what lifts they’ll be able to run Saturday. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was just Jerome, Tree and Nob.
