    Plans are still up in the air for me. It will probably hinge on whether I get a research job this semester or not. If I do make it up, it will probably be only for the Backcountry day.
    I do it because I can.
    I can because I want to.
    I want to because you said I couldn't.

          I'll be there heading up Saturday - my stay is up in the air but I will try to ride Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Probably head home wednesday and may come back up for Kirkwood on Thursday if anyone else will be riding then.

          Here we come!!!

                Backcountry riders?

                I want to take a firm head count on who might be interested in the backcountry dates and what kind of equipment you might need to borrow from me .
                So far I think Fighting for Air was interested in both days and wanted to borrow snowshoes .
                Skafreak is a maybe for the Saturday date ..

                  Hey all,

                  I saw that Northstar was on the Schedule and I wanted to let people know that Zumiez does a Transworld snow pack for 19.99 + 8 something tax and shipping totaling $28.00. In that pack you get a 2 for 1 Northstar ski pass. We used the Zumiez one last year for Heavenly, so I know they work. I already snatched one up. Here is the site:

                  http://www.zumiez.com/transworld-sno...onus-pack.html

                  Just a deal to pass on.

                  Also there is a site with a free card, Descent Pass. That will give discounts when you buy their tickets ahead of time online. I'ts free so no loss. It does as well as the Snow Bomb card without paying for it. Here is that site:
                  http://www.descentpass.com/region/sierras/ca

                  If I find more or better ones I'll pass them on.

                              We will arrive Sat. the 27th - midday. The wife is only staying for the 28th, 1st, and 2nd.

                              I have to drive her to the Reno airport on Wednesday the 3rd then drive back to south tahoe, so I will unfortunately have to miss that day of riding.

                              I am staying for the south tahoe days and will be there all the way through the 6th ... driving back home sunday the 7th.

                              I am up for either backcountry trips or resorts at south tahoe. Whether I do that advanced backcountry day will likely depend on how much my powder riding progresses between now and then and how weak my legs are by that Thursday. However, I'd also hate for JJUE to not have any takers on his offer to guide the backcountry trips.

                              Tight trees, super steep is outside of my comfort zone right now - but that would not keep me from going. If JJUE thinks I can make it down without killing myself, I'm in. I also have no problem hiking up and then doing the walk of shame and hiking back down if it ends up being too hairy for me.

                              Anyway: From my camp, 2 of us for the first three north tahoe days, no riding Wednesday, just 1 (me) for the three south tahoe days.
