Snow conditions right now > than anything in the last few years!
 
I went to Alpine today and I haven't seen snow like this in years. It is cold so the snow is ultra light and really deep. Alpine's upper bowls had over 36" of untracked snow that was incredible. It was literally hard to breath while you were descending due to all the snow going into and over your head.

This weekend should be an amazing weekend for anyone wanting to ride. I will be at Alpine again on Sunday after the storm clears. If anyone wants some untracked on Sunday, let me know and I will help you find it.

I will try on Sunday. I don't crash too often, but today I had three amazing spills due to the deep snow. One sent me searching for my ski for a while. I was only there for three hours and it snowed 6" and my legs are toast.

I have a red helmet with white racing stripes and a blue jacket. Keep an eye out if you're in the back country. ;)

Today was epic at Rose. It snowed most of the day, but there was zero wind...amazingly fluffy like Doubleurx was sayin.

I wish I was still in Reno. I miss my pass to Rose. I hate the rain!!!!

Yes that was a good time. Still snowing today with more on the way.

I went to Rose yesterday. It wasn't bad, snow was amazing. So soft and cuddly, I just wanted to roll around in it instead of boarding all over it. REAL nice.

I was Riding at sierra on saturday :) it was sooo goood. very deep in the trees. I'de say 2-3 feet in the woods. some spots had more due to snow drift. waist deep on a few turns :) i bailed a lot though. lol had one really good rag doll after going full tilt into a jump. landed and then rode on for about 5 feet before my nose got too low . and then some number of cart wheels . LoL great fun ! anyone have a sierra/northstar/kirkwood/heavenly pass ?
