Conditions Report
This post is for everyone who is wondering if there’s still snow in Tahoe, and the answer is yes. Before we started the hike, we placed bets on how many people would ask us “you’re not actually skiing are you?” The final tally was 25. Katy Hover-Smoot and I headed to Round Top today in hopes of finding some decent patch skiing. It’s my go-to summer ski destination for its easy approach and awesome scenery, but the patches are certainly looking a bit smaller than usual for this time of year. But, we had a good spot in mind, and it worked out quite well. The snow was pretty smooth and corned up decently!
You know its mid summer when this post has 13 comments.
Rock skiis not needed. We did clean up some loose rocks on Wednesday, so should have still been pretty clean.
Nice report!
I skied there the last two Wednesdays. Smooth snow.
Thanks for breaking it in, Stev!
Heck yeah!
Haha…you got some exercise thats for sure.
Looks like you hit the patch just past Round Top lake eh?
You bet, Casey
That patch you say you got your moneys worth, I saw a few patches in Desolation this weekend like that. I sarcastically said to my brother that he should go ride it on his board and post it to snow brains because you guys are always skiing those small summer patches. Thanks for reading my mind and the good laugh.
The main patch was fun skiing, but this one was hard to turn down for it’s… picturesque attributes. It may not be a choice in September!
FYI, it would’ve been way radder w/ballet skis on instead of fattys
Nice work!
sweet shot of Katy, with summer spray
probably no one wonderin, but thanks
Rock skis needed ?
