Report from March 14, 2025

After backcountry skiing in the morning, we rallied for a few laps at Palisades Tahoe, CA.

We bubbled directly onto KT-22 looking for windbuff.

We were told Chute 75 was smooth and flat we we went there first.

It was perfect.

Wind blow snow, no moguls (on the upper part), good turns, high speeds.

Our crew all loved it so we did another.

Then another.

When the wind is blowing hard Chute 75 is tough to beat.

We finished our 3rd lap after 4:10 pm and walked away happy.

So damn fun.

Thanks, California!
