Synopsis:

A couple days earlier it snowed a few inches followed by the wicked wind from the East. With a bluebird day on tap, new Jag Sharks on my feet, 100% of the mountain and backcountry gates open to tour around, I was riddled with optimism. After a lackluster run down Eagle Bowl giving us everything from powder to glacier ice, pessimism encompassed my mind until we ventured beyond a ridge named after a baby deer. Considering the amount of total snowfall to date, this day was top-notch…

Let’s Begin:

Supu left his racks open and lost a pair of snowblades….keep a look out!

North Beach looking stunning for February…

Major drifts in the front of the Tahoe house in South Lake…
