Today at Alpine was not too bad. Got out at about 8:30am, and it was worth it. Thought it was a bit early and the snow wouldn’t soften up until later, but it was good timing. It got down to 31 last night, but the temperature inversion that goes on around these parts kept the mountain from freezing. All the Southern aspects were great in the morning. The Sisters, Beaver Bowl, Palisades, and the “adventure run” to the lookers right of Summit Chair were sick. Cruise down the Sisters towards the gully to skiers left of Summit and you’ll find a hip and 2 QP booters that you can get some air off if you keep your speed up. Below the Palisades there is still remnants of the Standard Films shoot that went down last weekend. A rail off Crash and Burn cliffs. Pretty sick.
Rail off of Crash and Burn, thanks Standard Films
The parking lot was empty and the lift lines were the same. Perfect, more for us. The park, meh. It was super hard in the morning and the speed was questionable. The bottom jump is pretty kicky, and a lot bigger then last week. I’m not sure anybody hit it. It seems it took most of the day to get the lip shaped up, and the inruns early were sketch. Reminded me of an early morning at Mt. Hood where you question how many beers they had before grooming.
Snow is definitely fading
The snow is fading quickly though. It should be a fun weekend but it seems Summer is almost here. Nothing like shreddin in the AM and then headin to the beach for the afternoon. Life sucks around here I guess!
Beach after shredding is money
The video above is from some Tahoe kids that moved East to Jackson this winter. Pretty impressive skiing and a sick edit, so check it out!
Saw a guy that lost both skis near the top and above the fatal exposure cliffs in keyhole…does anybody know if he’s ok?
yea, he is ok. possible broken wrist… and a lot of scrapes and bruises, he hung out all weekend, with his motorhome
Way to kill it Karl Malone.
Good job Karl Malone.
haha, har har hary, fatal exposure cliffs of Keyhole, sure, all 30′ of them!
maybe you should crash test dummy them for us and show us
Rode with jonboy and loved it!!! He is the best snowboarder on the mountain!
karl malone sucks jackson is gay
‘forced into skiing in Mt. Snow Vermont ‘ but you weren’t forced to move to poor Jackson. I say poor because Jackson seems to be.nothing but eastern gummbies as well as every other ‘ski town’. Secede!!
He doesnt live in Jackson he lives in Squaw. Our buddies moved to Jackson and sorry us east coast gummbies ski circles around you west coast pussies.
well said
Dear Cache Creek Sailors,
I didn’t like the snowboarding so much….the skiers are so much cuter!, but thanks for the pictures!:)
Love,
Lach’s Mom
P.S. call me when your floating the river
MY BOY SINGLE- HANDEDLY SHOW UP ALL YOU GUYS THIS WINTER.,but yes the pictures were cute.
You’re pretty cute yourself Jojo. When are you going to send me more pictures from your southern hemisphere?
Excuse me my son Kevy worked very hard this winter. Just six months ago he over came his bed wetting problem. I am very proud of him:)
Love you,
Kevy Poo
Where’s Bub?
Wow your video made it on Unofficial Squaw. Pretty soon you almost be as good as your little brother.
“Reminded me of an early morning at Mt. Hood where you question how many beers they had before grooming.”
Clearly you haven’t been to hood in years, because their park grooming/up-keep is the best in the US right now!
you’re right I haven’t…. glad to hear that though, as a kid it was sometimes brutal in the morning when still hard.
Pretty sick edit guys! Nice cab 5 off the natty stuff too.
