Local South Lake Tele Skier Shreds Flagpole Peak Ty Dayberry has been a notable tele skier since he was a kid. Born and raised in Meyers, CA, he’s had some quality time to explore the area. He’s been climbing and skiing flagpole peak his whole life and he seems to have it pretty dialed. “Its rad to progress on the same canvas year after year. It’s such an accessible zone that holds good snow, even in the late spring.” Looks pretty darn tasty, Ty. Bevan Waite | May 17, 201786 Likes 1 Tweet 1 Comment
Kirkwood Weekend Conditions Report: Pow Kirkwood this weekend was pretty darn good. The resort under reported how much snow they received again saying they only received 6″ of snow. While waiting in line for chair 6 before the lifts opened, one of the mountain hosts came down from above and proceeded to tell all the customers in line what the plan was for opening the mountain for the day.

Squaw Valley Conditions Report: All Time Awesome Squaw Valley is the most filled in I’ve ever seen it in march. Granted, I haven’t been here that long, but this year has been amazing. The fingers look like they did in 2011 and ride like mini alaskan spines. Its so filled in a lot of the cool rocks and exposed lines are gone, or are considerably mellower than previous years.After seeing that squaw had been dumped on 3 feet and was closed for the day, a friend convinced me we had to leave jackson, drive 13 hours in a slow, full size van back to California to catch the tail end of the storm. We arrived monday night, charged cameras and fell asleep in order to wake up at 5:30 and line up at KT for the imminent fingers race that morning.

Squaw Valley Conditions Report: Fingers Race There is no other way to put this other than Squaw had perfect conditions today *in the morning. I woke up and saw the Fingers from my living room couch. They had turned into spines, and I immediately texted my boss to tell him I’d be late to work. Bevan Waite | February 22, 20170 Likes 1 Tweet 0 Comments
Mt. Rose Backcountry Photo Tour: Bronco Chutes The Bronco Chutes are a popular backcountry zone far into the Mount Rose wilderness. The following photo tour is from our day skiing that venue. The snow was wind affected and quite funky to ski, but the journey was valuable as a scouting mission for when the snow conditions are ideal. Bevan Waite | February 22, 20170 Likes 1 Tweet 0 Comments
Squaw Valley Conditions Report: Deep and Damn Fun It snowed quite a bit more than expected Monday at Squaw Valley. Monday night it snowed even harder (around a foot) and we woke up early to ensure we’d get the goods. Unsurprisingly, in the morning Squaw was not open and everything that was scheduled was on wind hold indefinitely. After making a hearty breakfast, studying some Squallywood lines, and wondering whether I should just go to work instead of waiting around, Red Dog and Squaw Creek finally opened at 11am, so we walked over and hopped on the chair.

Squaw Valley Conditions Report: Saturday 2/11/17 The rain finally turned to snow at Squaw Valley on Friday. After several days of rain it barely turned to snow enough at the base that it started to collect. The peaks actually got a surprising amount of snow, though basically all of it was wet gloppy sierra cement. Bevan Waite | February 14, 20170 Likes 1 Tweet 2 Comments
