Lake Tahoe, CA Backcountry Report: Semi-Nubile Corn Harvest in Some of the Most Gorgeous Terrain on Earth Report from February 23, 2024 An unplanned slow morning.

Palisades Tahoe, CA, Report: I Dislocated My Shoulder on a Wildly Fun Bluebird Powder Day Report from February 18, 2024 I dislocated my shoulder overrating a backflip on the Granite Kicker today. It was a weird situation. I usually really visualize and calculate things, but this time, I didn’t. I went too fast and literally flung myself off the jump like flinging a boomerang off a cliff. I instantly realized I’d overrotated the flip and […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | February 19, 2024 0 Comments
Palisades Tahoe, CA Report: Classic Mainline Pocket Huck-Fest | The Spitter, Cheese Grater, Banana, Far Right Rock Report from February 16, 2024 We were frantic last night on coming up with a plan for today. Backcountry? Where? Palisade? What’s gonna open? Will the hikes open? Is it gonna be sunny or cloudy? Did the snow get cooked?

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
