Any construction engineers looking for a good job in Tahoe?

We are a general contractor specializing in large commercial resort / hospitality / residential projects in the Truckee / Tahoe area...

Incredible season, thanks for sharing.

Thank you Jimw!
Yesterday Gimpy and I enjoyed both the left and right side couloirs on North Peak and even finished it off with corn in the Kook.

Powdork - The private property on Jack's Valley belongs to none other than John "Jack" Ascuaga. Go blow some big cash at the Sparks Nugget and you might just get a hall pass to cross to the promised...

Agreed AK - but I will say both Rookies and T's really belong in South Lake Taco.
And no, I have not seen any prop lines yet. That's for the better for me. They usually suck a 20 out of my wallet...

I actually love it when Emerald Bay closes. That instantly cuts off the pipeline of Squaw Dudes who must have a picture of themselves airing into the cross on Tallac with all of Tahoe in the...

Well said man. I think watching those dudes lay out big ol turns in the promised land while whooping it up was pretty damn rewarding too.
I used to put lots of time into the web site I used to...

Had to go see about alll that Granjero fun for myself. I'd say it's now ready for that Powdiction refresher.

Read it, liked it. Pretty genuine. The rambling, simplistic nature was very similar to most of his songwriting.

Silly caveman - the answer is Both!

What gimpy said. Today was angel feathery powder absurdity on CP. Great close out to 2012. Happy New Years mags!

As gimpy said we did not set off anything in our group. We saw quite a bit of action on the surrounding peaks (and even on the one we were on). The biggest being the Echo Peak crown.

Great fun to be had out there right now. Saw quite a bit of activity on some of the usual faces - including a very large crown on the top of Echo bowl (south of the peak). The nasty rain crust with...

Love my squad7's with guardians. They slay EVERYTHING you put in front of them - just know they are not a quick and snappy ski, and this combo makes for a tank of a touring rig. But that's not what i...

Condolences to those who know these victims. Were both the Donner and Alpine events in bounds?

Gimpy and I skinned the safest place we know in the south shore. Kind of surprised by the density of...

What I was told by a first hand witness was that the wind blast from the slide is what rocked the chair and caused the fall. Which indeed makes it a big ass slide. He said the slide was near the ice...

Kirkwood is shut down today, Heavenly is serving up a few mid mountain lifts on both CA and NV. Even most of Sierra is on hold. Avy danger is High just about everywhere. But I'm still gonna get...

^^^213 - that dude is rockin the hell out of his rocker!

Mercury is supposed to drop tonight, so tommorrow should be $weet. I woudn't be surprised to see some wind hold at the Heave again tomorrow. Forecasting gusts up to 90 mph on ridges.

Ahhhhhh.....the season has officially begun.

That Buckboard run at the end looked EPIC.

Just did another little tour de frog laque. Heffalump's back was still holding good boot deep pow in the upper most north facing aspects. Kinda korn / porn for anything in the sun.....it all skied...

Any word on Saddlebag road status?

Nice work PD. Can't say I've ever hit the cirque before the resort offically closed for the season.

Thanks for the updates jbn.
Fingers crossed, and hoping for the best...

JimW did Powerhouse from Poole Plant (I assume) a few weekends ago. Might want to check with him.
I have not been there myself, and I hope this all works out for Boris, jbn. It seems like a lot...

Best summit in Tahoe. That cliff band just isn't quite filled in below this year. That's a fun line when it is .

Good work boys. I have to ski something somewhere sometime soon.

Skied East Face on Red Lake a little late on Saturday - which was 9:30. Can't skin the whole way anymore, but it's not bad. Bottom is already a bit of a bushwhack back to the road. If I did it...

Nice Dan! Gilbert looked great.
If you're doing the Tahoe show again this summer you have a place to stay.

Hope you are right Cedrik, cause those are great opening dates for Tioga. I could really use breaking the seal on the spring season down on the Plat-toe. Haven't been to North Peak in a few years...

Really? Ka-why? The baby waves on west Maui were big enough for me on an SUP.
Sorry I didn't stop in Crampedon. I did see your shop while filling up the rental van on the way back to the airport. ...

Nice TR. Crystal Range corn is as good as I've ever had. This TR makes me think some serious bushwacking will be worth persuing it.

^^^ nice BG! Especially the last one.....if only he were on skis doing a daffy....
- Looking at it closer is that dude doing a little acid drop off the boulder?

So sad. That took great strength for his brother to write that, and he did so in an amazing and touching way.

Thanks crampedon, I'll stop by.
Since this site is mainly about skiing I thought I'd share this shot from kirkwood today - pow to Maui in 5 days!

I saw what appeared to be a big slide that started on 99 steps. Looked like it ran down the gully quite a ways too. Kind of glad to hear that the delay in lift openings had to do with actual slide...

Thanks for the advice guys. Sounds like the Launuipoko park is my spot (to start).
I never thought of taking my board since it is truly a flat water board that would likely really suck in waves. I...

About to do a Griswold style vacay in West Maui (north Kaanapali). I plan on renting a SUP for the entire week and then regularly risking my pride and body by trying to SUP surf as much as possible....

Thanks Shralph!
The 2nd bump from the right (Agassiz) is the best of those 4 high spots. Between current weather and a trip to a tropical place in a few weeks I may not be able to enjoy the corn...

Nuthon - I'm guessing you have one of the few (if not only) descents off Echo Summit this year. I'm bummed I never got to hit it this year but based on your description, I think I'll just go ahead...

This morning was really great. it may qualify as dust on crust for some, but if you find the smooth base below it will ski swift, silent (with headphones on) and deep (for a lil kid). Snow was...

I think this says just as much about how many Kirkwood skiers see themselves as it does about how they see the typical Heavenly and N* skiers.
Heavenly, Northstar and Kirkwood all share a couple...

Nice TeleK! Great music choice and I liked that air into waterfall.
Snow was still great yesterday, but anything that got too much sun got a zipper crust installed on top by the afternoon. ...

Nice shots jeff. Fullstone Gate delivered today too.
This has truly been the steep and deep we all needed around here.

15" in Meyers-ish. Ka-Boom!

Best sandwich in all of Tahoe is the Tahoma Market. Their breads and mustards alone are insane.
Have to try the Fully Belly.
Also may try Sugar Bowl tomorrow....

Anyone got a kookweed report from this afternoon? I took a gander out at Carson Pass where I would say absolutely ZERO inches of snow has accumulated since the weekend. I'm guessing snow totals...

Thanks brother. I take that as a compliment.

I can't wait to use my Epic pass at this place!

I'm with you on that BG, but it looks like this thing is going to drop off dramatically south of Tahoe. While Truckee to Quincy is projecting 3 to 5 inches on the crest thru Wednesday, Mono County...
