Would Return?: Maybe This was the big powder day of the week with it having snowed all day Wednesday. I heard from one random lift stranger that she’d had an even
The National Weather Service described the winds at and around the Tahoe-area ski resorts on Wednesday as “destructive” and chains were required on every road between Reno and the chairlifts. So, after dropping Argosinu (née Telkontar) off at the airport, going back to the room to sleep another couple hours, showering, packing, finding and using
Paid: $49 (weekday full-time student price at window) Quality of Random Lift Strangers: N/A Weather: Sunny with high winds at the top. Would Return?: Probably Mt.

Went to White Pass for the first time in my life on Thursday. Snow was PNW-great, visibility was interesting and variable, with a freezing fog making Couloir Basin kind of useless and about a 60-second sun break in the early afternoon. I didn’t take many photos, but among them were these… Mach V was
It’s done enough. At Move-In vs. Current: So the cap blocks aren’t actually done yet. I just set them on top. They need cut so they don’t have those gaps on the face. We’ll see when it happens. And sorry the angle’s off. Never took a before-photo of that corner — probably because the telephone
