This goes along the lines of "what helmet do i by" - but with an audio slant. What are you using. How do you like it?

I don't mean skiing a single lift on man made snow, I meant the real deal. Not to take anything away from the early openings.

Nice to see some white in the web cams. Looks like we'll have a week break after tonight's storm fizzles. I'm back to looking at the longer term forecasts. I'd like to think we'd be skiing the Sierras by Thanksgiving, but I still think early-mid December is much more likely. Oh how I hope I'm...

Sorry to report this but Myforecast dropped this to flurries starting on the 4th and Accuweather has only sun in the 15 day forecast. The one spot of good news is this in Kirkwood's customized weather forecast: "--Most of next week looks dry and sunny under a ridge of high pressure. By next...

I noticed today, much to my delight, that Accuweather has a storm coming at the far end of their 15 day forecast. http://www.accuweather.com/us/ca/south-lake-tahoe/96150/forecast-15day.asp?partner=17868&myadc=0&traveler=1&metric=0 myforecast.com is the most optimistic of all with snow starting...

The Song is Nonbelievers - from the album: Upon The Bridge - Groundation http://www.groundation.com/music.html What can you say about the skiing besides wow?

Kirkwood and Sierra. Too old for the Squaw student pass. We need some storms. I can't wait til this winter is rolling. Seems like we're due for a big winter.

Sierra Parks are no joke, the tree skiing is amazing. This resort on a snowy weekday is one of Tahoe's best spots, IMO.

My top four - YMMV 1. Squaw - everything is amazing, really a world class resort - but co$tly 2. Kirkwood - all about the skiing, some of the best stuff anywhere, off the beaten path 3. Alpine - summit six is the best chair in tahoe but lines can get long 4. Sierra at tahoe - close to the...

I'd love to blow off work and get to this, but I don't think I'm going to make it. I'd been wanting to get my hands on some moments.

I don't think we'll get a ton of snow, but it's nice to see flakes in the forecast. Anybody want to call opening weekend and how many feet of snow we'll have? My guess: November 15 - 4 feet
