Lake Tahoe, CA Backcountry Report: Powder Skiing Through Gunsight Views of The Lake of the Sky Report from February 11, 2024 Yesterday we had a specific objective in mind. Then we took the wrong skin track and ended up on an entirely different peak than planned. No matter, it held north-facing trees in the shade of the guarded untouched powder on rolling terrain. We had nothing to complain about and we embraced our serendipitous turn of […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | February 12, 2024 0 Comments
Lake Tahoe, CA Backcountry Report: Tripping Out in Castles in the Sky Above Big Blue Report from February 10, 2024 We rolled the dice in Lake Tahoe, CA today. Fox had a plan to go ski a sun-soaked aspect on bluebird day with 60mph east winds. It was clearly a bad plan leading directly to lousy snow in a gorgeous area. I knew the snow wouldn’t be good but knew the views would be so […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | February 11, 2024 1 Comment
Palisades Tahoe, CA, Report: Hucking The Palisades, Mainline Pocket, & Granite Chief Peak in the Sunshine Report from February 8, 2024 Today was a good day. 49″ of snow in the past seven days helped it be so. Nervous, laying on the heated pavement outside the funitel at 8 am. Surrounded by anxious friends. Watching the webcams as ski patrol bombed. “What slid?” “Everything…” But it wasn’t true. The Palisades were good. Owen Leeper and Connery […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | February 8, 2024 0 Comments
Palisades Tahoe, CA Report: Wind-Buff Powder Day on KT-22 With No One Around Report from February 7, 2024 Got up and out on KT-22 at 9am. No lines. Dead Tree. Wasn’t great. I was hoping the big wind of the morning would have blown things in better. Dead Tree skied poorly with old frozen hummocks of snow between wind-blown patches. I went home after one run. Brandon came over and chilled with me […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | February 7, 2024 0 Comments

Palisades Tahoe, CA, Report: An Unexpectedly Awesome Powder Day Complete With Cliff Hucks & Good Friends Report from February 5, 2023 It rained at the base last night. Quite a bit. So we slept in today. Duane made pancakes. The skiing wasn’t great yesterday so we expected it to have gotten worse with the rain, wet snow, and high winds. We were wrong. Dead wrong. We got out there at 9am and the lineup for KT-22 […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | February 5, 2024 0 Comments
Palisades Tahoe, CA Closes Today Due To Snowfall Rates Of 2-3″ Per Hour, Rising Winds, & Increasing Avalanche Danger Report from February 4, 2024 We got first chair this morning on KT-22 at Palisades Tahoe, CA.

After that […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | February 4, 2024 0 Comments
