1 Minute of Face Shots: Video Proof of Snow in Tahoe

It has been far too long since skiers in Tahoe have had the pleasure of a genuine powder face shot, but after this weekend’s storm skiers all across the basin were able to get in deep and remember the feeling. The video above chronicles some of the goods that were to be found on Mt. Rose Saturday morning and Squaw Saturday afternoon and Sunday. Seeing snow coating the trees in town once again simple feels right, now if only Miracle March will deliver and keep bringing the snow!

Kicking Horse Update: Nipple Deep

Kicking Horse Mountain Resort has powder. ‘Nough said. During a week that has seen a pineapple express decimate ski hills all over BC and Washington, you don’t have to say much to sell a resort. The fact that we are skiing makes KHMR a destination. I don’t even need to bring up the 40cm we’ve had in the last 24hrs, but because my parents told me to share, I will. February 6th and 7th have been the deepest days of the year and they’ve come just when people had lost hope in the winter. To start, there is a definite freezing level sitting at the top of Catamount […]

Sugar Bowl Today = Stupid Deep Photo Tour:

powder skiing

The 18-22 inches of new snow fell at a temperature of 15ºF and was exhibiting a density of about 5%. It was blower snow, champagne powder, light as lint, insert dry snow cliché here. Face shots abounded at Sugar Bowl today. Sugar Bowl was likely the only ski resort in Lake Tahoe that actually had a natural base of snow covering its mountain slopes. That previously existing base gave the 22 new inches of snow something to sit on top […]

3 Guys Getting Shot in the Face… in Japan

Japan. The terrain isn’t always scary, cliffy, nor insane, but the snow is. The snow is certainly insane. It can be hard to capture. It can be hard to explain. It’s not hard to ski… You drop in, there are no tracks, it’s waist deep; you flow. You start with flow. After a hint of speed, flow quickly becomes float. Float leads to higher speed and a feeling of weightlessness. Eventually, you’ll need to dump speed. Turn. Turning becomes sinking. Sinking leads to delving […]

Over-The-Head-Face-Shots @ Alta Yesterday | Video & Photos

I can confirm that is video is actually from yesterday, October 30th, 2013. The snow guns were most definitely on and the snow was finally getting deep enough to let the skis run a little more. Props to Nate and company for getting into Eagles Nest. That is a great early season zone if you have the stones to go ski it. It is mad stumpy in there:) This photo is from a zone near the the top of the Collins chair at Alta. […]
