Posted by GrilledSteezeSandwich,

Get on some wide skis and go fast and use a lot of power in your turns and you should be just fine getting through the mashed potatoes..in a typical warmer ski season you're gonna encounter spring conditions a lot so might as well work on your mashed potato skiing. Get forward and power through them.

Felt good to get on the XC skis again!....Snow was pretty easy to break trail through....Could get a nice kick/glide once I looped around to my tracks....

It would be good for stoke

i sort of feel like it'd be depressing with a lot of snow and not being able to ski it.

There has to be like 5-6 pairs of skis in my closet that i wouldnt mind wrecking right about now.  

I keep thinking i would make something out of some old skis, but the only thing i come up with is a coat rack, and thats not super creative.  

 

Oh, and if you could talk someone into driving you around, JF would be a good hit since you can get dropped off at the top, and picked up at the bottom.  Until you get Vailed.

everyone missed the 'a lot of work' part except @JFskiDan. not to mention, i don't have a pair of skis to destroy.

i've been eyeing up some stuff around here like @toast21602 's  gasline run. one (40.98704933550026, -75.4907428289591) looks awesome but sucks because entry is in ind ian moun tain l akes, which is gated, but i may have entry close enough to walk. according to GIS, no one owns a little strip that would get me in - walking - from public property. it's close enough that there wouldn't be time to call po-po and my ride can be at bottom (jonas rd). the other is at the top of sie rra view (40.9976666989348, -75.45552389398952) . former has a lot more vert and distance but latter is straight line down (and i can access easily). wife could drive no problem, both very close. @GrilledSteezeSandwich

Let’s see if this actually materializes.  You know the saying....snow breeds snow...and if there’s even an inch or two of snow on the ground and sky’s are clear, the overnight temperature drops even lower..it’s getting closer I bet we’ll be skiing in about 3-4 weeks

Anything before Memorial Day is a bonus

My dream is to ski down 534. From old stage to 209. That would be awesome.

i can think of a few good roads. main one being 115 from sierra view down to maybe hellers, the one you mentioned to jonas, toll road from the top before it goes uphill near the end. a shame they'd be plowed but one can dream lol

Friday night into early Saturday AM along with Monday night and Tuesday night look like good snowmaking opportunities. 

Ehh......i sort of think it could be a wasted effort depending on what happens with the monsoon or snowstorm next week.  

The funny thing is Accuweather keeps teasing at the very last day of the 15 day forecast with temps in the 20's.  But its been like that for the last couple days, but it never moves up.  Day 15 always in the 20's.

Forecasting past about Sunday is a crap shoot anyways.  so much can change so quick.

Why are you confused?

Because you said set your alarm and get after it. Waking up at 2 am, that's crazy talk! I'll just check out your report instead when I wake up at 8 am.

Just stay up until 2am. Put a pot of coffee on or go to Starbucks. 

I saw the solar eclipse in 2017. Now that was rad and I didnt even have to wake up early
