This might be one of those years where Tahoe/Mammoth get <200 inches and Utah/Colorado get annihilated.

Nice! :jamon:

That East Pacific High looks pretty solid but maybe breaking up a little a couple weeks down the line? Not abnormal in the slightest for Sierras to not get truly dumped on until late December/early January. No need for panic airways just yet. Need to do a mental shift still.

Has anyone explored the backcountry around Bear Valley? I've got a pass there this year and am hoping to explore whatever's around there as well. Seems like limited info available online about it.

Mt Reba? I lived the 70-71. Only the comeback trail back to town. I hear it’s a little wild. Be careful

Vermont opened this week

might get a foot of snow from this Alberta clipper coming through. Going to mount snow Friday night, haven’t been there in decades. Smaller than Stowe or Killington but a much shorter drive.

Enjoy! I spent my formative years skiing Olympic/PDF/Ripcord and competing at Beartrap. I haven’t been back in ~20yrs but would love to for the nostalgia.

Another few inches fell overnight. Long time erBBer senor stoked got up here last night, going to try and link up for a couple laps. Yesterday was a phenomenal day for any part of the season let alone first week of December. Should be just as tasty this morning.

I think Im gonna say no more Mammoth on weekends for my Son. He got slammed by an out of control snowboarder on Cornice and bent the fuck out of his poles. I told him to use his pole and stick em like a guy picking up trash fucking gays on trays knuckle draggers. I heard some other kid got hit by one and left in an ambulance.

It’s a dangerous activity. If you don’t want your kid leaving in an ambulance keep him/her/them off the mountain. There is always an out of control snow boarder. A stubborn tree that refuses to get out of the way. A patch of ice hidden by a dusting of fresh snow. I know folks who have broken legs just getting tangled on a lift line

Epic morning on the mountain. Almost back to the beach. St Lucia on Tuesday

:D

As a father of a skier and a snowboarder I can say there is no shortage of kookery on both skis or snowboards. So why the douchey 'knuckle dragger' narrative? Should we start posting clips of clueless skiers snowplowing across the knuckles of jumps or stopped in the landings of established natural hits? Maybe your kid was the problem? :shrug:

Funny that there’s still a ski vs snowboard thing
I’d never expect an anti snowboard fight from surfers
