I just went yesterday to Donner Ski Ranch with my kid. $35 lift ticket :thumbup

We stayed in Auburn. Lots to eat there and gas up, then it's only 1-1.5 hr drive to Boreal.

Awesome, thanks for the tips. :thumbup

So you normally ride around a 155? Lots in this range on ebay. I wouldn't drop more than $150 on a board, $60 for bindings. Go to any mountain, sports basement, sports auth, etc to try on boots to find something that fits. Boot sizes are all over the place in my experience so I don't trust buying them online. I bought a really nice board and bindings from a guy a couple seasons back for $150 off craigslist. He bought the kit to ride with his kids and used it once. :thumbup

Supposedly there was a power outage on the Nevada side on Saturday, which meant everyone was restricted to the California side. I was supposed to go up on Saturday, so glad I didn't.

That line.:|
But Heavenly draws a a lot just being at the state line. Kirkwood or others that are further out might have shorter lines. Then again with so many snow-starved skiers and boarders, there's likely to be lines everywhere this season!

Awesome day at Kirkwood yesterday. It was warm out , so we rode in thermal tops, no jackets. Snow was good, and only got - little crunchy in the shady areas after 2:30. head up Friday, if you can, for some freshies!!!

I was at Sierra on Saturday with a group of friends who wanted to spend the holidays on the slopes :facepalm. I boarded on Friday at Heavenly, conditions weren't bad but not much powder. Sierra was a cluster fuck, nothing but slush, ice, and people everywhere. Traffic was a nightmare and it took two hours to get back down the mountain to South Tahoe. At least I didn't pay for a lift ticket at Sierra.

Heading back up to Heavenly this Friday for a day trip :banana

Going to Boreal Saturday morning. Looks like discounted tixs are sold at Sports Basement. Looks like Boreal is open from 9-9 so should be a nice full day of boarding.

Went to Kirkwood on Sat. , backside was pretty decent for a warm day. Wish I would have gotten a hot wax though...
