Conditions Report
———————————————————————————————————————-
Yeah, yeah, yeah…“should have been here yesterday bro!” Isn’t that always the truth.
The last ‘biggest storm of the decade’ seemed to miss most of Tahoe by sliding South, but it did manage to clip Kirkwood and lay down a few feet of the goods. With Cornice Chair opening up mid-day Friday, I had to go up on Sunday and test it out for myself. The coverage ended up being way better than expected allowing a skier to open it up with confidence. With a 6 year old in tow, the runs on Chair 6 were few yet fantastic in this skier’s mind. Ultimately, I didn’t get a ton of fresh lines on this day but did manage to lap Chair 5 and 11 with my son…which is easily just as awesome.
*UPDATE -The Wall (Chair 10) opened today and rumors of most of the mountain opening by this weekend.
