@KWconditions Had a blast last Friday for my first time Snowshoeing! Thanks so much Team for setting me up for my first time! High Trail was absolutely Beautiful! I had the hole place to my self! Can't wait for next time!
@KirkwoodMtnCoop I wish they would change the name back to Squaw Valley! Or at least Olympic Valley! Palisades just dose not sound right!? We need to stick with traditional names for this beautiful valley!
¡Buenos días my friends,
Cup'O'Joe in hand, #StokeLevelSolid at 11 on a #TenaciousTuesday. I'm fired up after three incredible days hosting the Tahoe Freeride comps at Palisades—the next generation of rippers has absolute fire in their bellies, and the #StokeLevels were highly contagious.
The Situation: The Inversion Excursion
We are locked in a High-Pressure scenario, and things are officially "Upside Down."
• Valley Floor: A chilly 12ºF (South Lake Tahoe).
• The Ridge: A balmy 45ºF (Kirkwood Chair 6).
The Skiing & Riding Intel: The warm air up top means spring vibes are creeping in, but winter is holding strong if you know where to look.
• The Goods: North-facing slopes (like Oly Lady and KT) are still skiing well with mid-winter snow.
• The Groomers: On-piste is riding fantastic—early birds get the #FreshCord and the best off-piste "carvable-schmoo."
• The Watch-Out: Sun-affected zones are getting a little "manky" late in the day, and ridge winds will be cranking (E/NE gusts) this afternoon.
The Bottom Line: This is a classic "less is more" week. Keep it simple: hunt the morning corduroy, chase the shade for cold chalk, and soak up the Vitamin D. The skiing is awesome—get out and get'cha some!
Tahoe Sector Report: bit.ly/LakeTahoeWeath…
Quick Sector Data (Verified @ 0615 PST)
• Temps (Inverted): 12ºF (SLT) / 10ºF (Truckee) / 45ºF (Kirkwood Ridge).
• Winds: Calm in the basin, breezy up top (Kirkwood Gusts to 38mph).
• Roads: Clear & Open. No restrictions on SR88, HWY 50, or I-80.

25 ARRESTED IN FIRST DAY OF ORGANIZED RETAIL THEFT OPERATION
The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office Organized Retail Crime Task Force began a multi-day enforcement operation yesterday focused on keeping shoppers and employees safe during the busy holiday season.
Yesterday’s operation took place at Target locations in unincorporated Sacramento County and was conducted with the assistance of the Elk Grove Police Department. This is just the beginning, as our teams will be conducting similar operations throughout the county all week at multiple locations.
Remember, it’s never cool to steal. It’s even less cool to get arrested on a Christmas soundtrack.

@KirkwoodMtnCoop Any word on when Kirkwood is going to start Dpinning the Wheel for opening day? Thanks for always keeping us up to date Coop, I heard a rumor of December 5th?
¡Buenos días, my friends!
Cup'O'Joe in hand ☕️, and a welcome to #TakeChargeTuesday. We are clocking in ~ #StokeLevelSolid at 10.7 here at the #HippieHaus.
It's a tale of two elevations this morning. The valleys are sitting in the deep freeze (19º in Truckee!), but #MotherNature has the heater on upstairs, it's a balmy 37.1º at 9,100'. We are locked in a "Chamber of Commerce" weather pattern: sun, calm winds, and perfect visibility.
The Intel:
🐻 Bear Valley: Just announced they will drop the rope this Friday, Nov 28th
🚠 Heavenly, Mammoth & Rose: Spinning the bullwheel today.
🚗 Roads: ALL CLEAR. Thanksgiving travel is wide open.
The Mindset: To be transparent, while the long-range models tease a pattern shift post-Holiday, the play right now is to boot up and get your #ClemSmithCarve down. Enjoy what we have on the deck; each turn is better than NO turns.
We are watching the horizon for that "Inside Slider" shift around Nov 29/30, but for today? We ride.

@markmartin You're inspiration Mark! Thank You Sir!
I'm going to start getting back after it, as now I'm feeling guilty and you're doing it and I'm still not doing it! 🤪🤣
@ChunkBucket1@ReinhartLLC I still think it had something to do with John Forces crash. Not sure how he pissed off Cromwell. But I think it had something to do with it
First time in 30+ years I have missed NHRA Prom Night. Feels very strange. My tuxedo is wondering why it's still in the closet.
Congrats to all the Champions!
Enjoy the winter break. There is still no "Off Season". #StayHealthy#LoveThisLife
@ReinhartLLC Well said Alan! My favorite announcer retires from NHRA! And then my favorite driver retired from NHRA! We're going to miss you Boy's!
#Lovethislife God Bless the USA! 🗽🏁🇺🇲
After rain forced the postponement of Friday’s on-track action, NHRA will try again on Saturday to begin professional qualifying for the season-ending In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals in Pomona. Here's a preview of Saturday's schedule.

¡Buenos dìas! #MindfulMonday. We're looking at a forecast split.
1. Today: Enjoy the record warmth. Highs ~67°F. Lake/Roads = ALL CLEAR.
2. #StokeLevelRising. A colder storm & "notable pattern change" is on the charts for late Wed/Thu.
THE DETAILS:
• Highs drop 60s ➔ 30s. This is the #BaseBuilder. Rain changes to SNOW.
• Snow levels crash to 5,000 ft.
Totals: 2-5" (Lake), 6-12" (Crest).
• MTN OPS: Snowmaking "Tactical Strike" window closed. Now in "Holding Pattern."

@ReinhartLLC Alan it's so good to hear your voice this morning at the NHRA division 7 race in Las Vegas, will you be at the Winter Nationals announcing? Are you back in the saddle with NHRA? You made my morning hearing your voice, thank you Sir! I did not renew my NHRA TV because of no Alan!
@NHRADragster Come on guys what about Sonoma! So disappointing you took away Alcohol Dragster and Funny cars away from Sonoma years ago and did not bring them back to Sonoma, shame on you NHRA! 🙃👎
¡Buenos dìas! #FreakFlagFlyinFriday.
CRITICAL INTEL: The "bonus fall" warmth is back. Mt. Rose has POSTPONED its opening day.
THE WHY: The snowmaking window for Tahoe is CLOSED. Our on-mountain data shows a 35.3°F wet bulb (too warm).
MAMMOTH WATCH: 7 days out & their temps look marginal, too.
TODAY: Lake/Roads = ALL CLEAR.
NEXT #MANATURAL HUNT: We're tracking a "hint" for mid-next week.

Am I the only one who thinks about camping as unplugging and getting away from the screens? Heck, unless it was baseball, my dad wasn't thrilled about having the radio on when he was on his boat. Taking it with you kinda defeats the purpose doesn't it? #StayHealthy#LoveThisLife
