I decided to make this because there seems to be a lack of Tahoe information in this forum. so here it is,
the Official Tahoe Thread

anything that has to do with Tahoe goes here; winter OR summer. Discuss weather, mountain conditions, meet ups and hook ups, epic stories, sick ass places, things to do, pretty much ANYTHING!

first off, here are some sites for general information on Tahoe, whether your a local or planning a trip:

North Shore Information http://www.gotahoenorth.com/
South Shore Information http://tahoesouth.com/
Vacation Information http://www.laketahoe.com/home

secondly, here are some links to some of the mountains around the area;

Squaw: http://www.squaw.com/
Alpine Meadows: http://www.skialpine.com/
Northstar: http://www.northstarattahoe.com/
Heavenly: http://www.skiheavenly.com/
Diamond Peak http://www.diamondpeak.com/
Sierra-at-Tahoe: http://www.sierraattahoe.com/
Kirkwood http://www.kirkwood.com/site/
Sugar Bowl http://www.sugarbowl.com/home
Boreal http://www.rideboreal.com/winter/
Mt. Rose http://www.mtrose.com/

Tahoe and the surrounding area is a dope place with some even doper people, with a shit ton of stuff to offer. Whether you're a weekend warrior on the mountain, or a bar hopper down in the basin, this thread is for you.

that is all, shred on fellow shredders.

It's also going to be an absolute shitshow with people...

I'm skipping Squaw and hoping they run Scott at Meadows tomorrow.

Not trying to be racist but the crowds are predominantly Asian in Tahoe on Christmas day ....and a lot of people have their passes blacked out so that means your regulars are at home and being crusty.


2 years ago I struck gold with everyone being blacked out at KWood during a dump Xmas day when I had the full epic. It was awesome.

not big but super fun.

have the park on upper snowshoe going. small flat down, small dfd, flat down flat or double propane tank option, hitching post elbow rail(money), another propane tank, down bar or down gas pipe option(smoothest rail ever), and an up-down bar. the latter features are larger.

we're all loving it, snow conditions dominate heavenly's, and side hits make grandview laps prime. however you might want to save your tickets for when tahoe gets more snow

Will make a thread with the same info in regionals, but posting in here for those that don't check the whole forum

I'll be in Tahoe the 4-7, will be skiing SaT, KW, Squaw, and Alpine but am open to suggestions.

Anyone have lift ticket hookups or know where they sell discounted tickets?

I have a spot to crash in Truckee but am looking for a place to stay while skiing at SaT and KW or somewhere that is convenient to both. Alternatively, a good spot to post up in my car. Will trade info for beer and a place to crash in Bozeman.

If you'll be around send me a PM, its always good to meet up even for a run or two. I'll be bringing high fives and liquid courage for all.

heavenly sucks harder than a leech in a vaccume cleaner being pulled into a black hole in outer space. dont waste your time. northstar is pretty pimpin, top to bottom line, 3 jumps, tons of rails and boxes, and a sick halfpipe.

they've had about 5 rails/boxes up since they opened two months ago and one 10 foot jump. super, super weak. however, groove park opened a day or two ago. i haven't seen it or ridden it yet, but honestly my expectations are really low...

rode groove for the first time today and it was better than expected. i'm gonna say the jump they have is about 20 feet and i'd say it's the best jump i've hit in groove. nice and poppy with a fitting landing. decent rail/box set up too.
