California/Nevada 2016-17 Tahoe Ski Resorts/Conditions/Meetups Thread....

Ok, I just looked at weather.com - next weekend looks relatively cold (the front cold mentioned above), and showers for Sunday. I am thinking to hit Rose on Saturday. Still to be confirmed, but this is how it's looking. Let me know if you are coming and need a ticket, I have plenty of buddy ticket discounts (I think you pay like 60, you can check online). And you know you are my buddy

Day pass is $60 now. Sunday is $25 for locals. Not sure what defines "local". $60 is less than the buddy pass was. Have fun!

They define "Local" within 1 hour drive to Mt Rose. Reno, Truckee etc. ID check likely.
Bummer, I'm 1 hr 45 min away.

Will they take a property tax statement? My driver's license says Santa Rosa, but I am a property owner in Truckee. . .

Mt Rose is also offering 4 tickets for $99 - must all be used the same day. Hopefully you can find enough non-passholders skiing to buy with to get your cost down.

Can't hurt to try. You can't be the only one in that boat.

Inlaws are in town. WIfe informed me it would be insulting to them to disappear to go skiing for a day. Debating whether to appeal to their good intentions . . . or just annoy the hell out of them so they want me gone for a day . The "welcome" surf and turf I grilled for them last night has started me off on the good son-in-law foot, but

You seem to misunderstand your wife's intentions. Your in-laws don't really like you, and would be happy to see you gone for the day. Your wife on the other hand wants:
1) A buffer to ease the pain of her parents being there
2) You to be there so the in-laws can see what a fantastic solid marriage their daughter has
3) You to stay at home so she can prove who is the boss, and you staying proves it.

I say:
1) They are HER parents, and going skiing will increase the quality time she can spend with HER parents
2) Your in-laws will see the STRENGTH of your marriage in that you feel comfortable going skiing when they are visiting
3) It's the end of the season, who knows how many more turns you are gonna get. Are you a MAN or a freaking mouse

Actually you can now get one Buddy Ticket FREE per day!!!

I triple dog dare ya! It's gotta be easier than getting out of a nice warm bed to ski in soup!

I'd comment but my wife said I should stay out of it.

This may have to go into the quotes of the season thread. But I know what you mean.

I would answer, but I fear my wife would kill me. It isn't fear. It is deep respect and admiration.

You are mistaken, it is clearly fear!!!!!

That being said, Mrs. Started at 53 asked me my user name the other day after I sent her some links to reviews on Renoun Z-77's and the info on the Utah Gathering.

LOL. That took me a minute. Well worth the time commitment. Good one!

I will vouch for him @John Webb drives fast.

Who me!

Might make Squaw in an hour but Mt Rose is not possible !

On Friday, expect some cloudy conditions developing overnight, should clear by Friday afternoon. Expect less than an inch from this system.

The May 15-17 system has changed for the better.

10-20" in the Tahoe area is forecast on both EC and GFS. Snow level = 4000ft. Hopefully this trend continues.
