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.

^^ nice edit!

and also, a quick, unofficial, park update for squaw:

down rail and down box located after the second jump in gold coast are being taken out tonight, along with the a-frame. rumor has it that its making room for a 5 jump line will be going in sometime this week. unsure about any new rail features.

again, based on rumors. we'll have an official update by the end of the week.

shred on my friends

which mountain in tahoe has the best progression park? i have a pass for sierra this season but alley is a bit too technical for me atm and all the other ones are in middle of fat runs, making it really hard to hot lap them

i like boreal because of that but where else?

N* def has a good progression park. Its nice and spread out and the pitch is really good for it. Heavenly has a really fun small park but its not really a good progression park. Only a few super easy ride on features. I have not ridden any of the small stuff at Squaw.

exactly what heathr said. I ride squaw and alpine, and yes squaw is suuuper fun right now, but in terms of a progression park northstar has more to offer. i mean you could hit the first 1 or 2 jumps at squaw but then there wouldnt be much else to hit. northstar always has a good set of boxes/ rails of all different levels, and alot of small- mid size jumps

do you guys just lap alley at sierra? i'm trying to find a better place to learn shit and it's either alley or some lame park that takes 10 minutes to get back to

bashful is okay i guess. those triple jumps are easy for me but rails are still scary haha

the conditions are sloppy. by that i mean the park is on point, no questions asked, but the snow is wet and slow regardless of your wax situation its hot too, like between 55 and 65 in the sun, so bring your sunscreen.

all in all, super fun.

He got MIP/MIC after drinking half a beer by his car. He was not being loud or obnoxious or anything. They just saw a beer in his hand and fucked him when they found out he was not 21. (Turns 21 in a couple months) I am not saying he wasn't doing anything wrong but I Just want to give people a fair warning. I always blaze by my car when I go skiing but I got lucky today. Probably going to be more careful. Especially because these guys came out of nowhere driving a normal whip.

Forgot to check back in this thread haha. At Sierra I mainly lap the Alley or if I'm with some of my friends who aren't as "park-oriented", usually big laps off of Grandview through the progression park. This weekend it the Alley was on point, a little slow being way hot but still superrrr fun.

Hopefully I'll be up this Wednesday, supposed to snow! If not though I'll be up all weekend in the same gear on JMO's with a grey helmet and an ON3P sticker on the back. Hit me up!
