Anyone in SoCal? Looking for a few buddies to ride up the local mountains. I have a 4x4 with snow tires. I'm a beginner rider, passed 4 hours of training. I would love to get more practice runs this season. Let's go!

Mine looks like it got a handjob from Edward Scissorhands :giggle: Considering how many completely exposed rocks I rode over, the damage is minimal thank God. Nothing deep, just surface scratches. But there were some areas where you had absolutely no choice but to go over rocks so you just had to go to the parts where there were fewer sharp rocks to minimize damage. Definitely nothing like opening day where as long as you stayed away from the mob, you could have an enjoyable untouched powder experience.

Click on the "cameras" and "chain control" on the left hand side if its not showing in the link. Right now the cameras don't show much since its dark, but the chain control is allll along the side of Sierras, from Tahoe down to south of Mammoth.

Hopefully it hits us in the next two days as well.

Has anyone been to Ski Dazzle before? Thinking about going but dont know if its worth it.

Those lift tix offers look tempting but driving from south OC might not pay out all the way at the end.

FWIW I am not paying 60 for the day at Bear with one chair open only.

Bear actually has 3 chairs running. Even though it says only chair 9 and 1 are running, I saw chair 2 working as well. and summit opens on Friday as well :yahoo: and I guess that isn't including the forecasted 3"

Bear got over 4". Hitting summit tomorrow with my buddies who all have season passes and I'm actually carpooling with someone from this forum! Gonna be an epic day tomorrow

We were up at Summit today - hardly anyone was here - and now I know why - the wind the terrible. The chairlifts were swinging so bad that I got motion sickness and we had to go back to the condo - the white out at the top of the mountain was not fun either. And COLD! It was so cold our helmet communications stopped working.

However, it should be epic tomorrow! Can't wait for first chair! Looking at the mountain right now at 7:45 pm and the lights are on - it's all clear and the chairlifts are running. They were blowing the beginner area all day today.

One new thing - they put barriers up as you walk up the mountain to the chairlift and had people scanning your tickets there and also at the chairlifts. I think they want to keep foot traffic off the mountain and they are patrolling that this year - at least today they were.

Have fun all!!!
