Going to do that myself too. Last year was quite painful as I kind of forced myself to go even through the horrific conditions to make my season pass worthwhile.
Planning a day trip for Sunday. Now I know the storm is supposed to hit on Sunday. I'll be watching the timing of the storm. If it hits during the morning/evening commute hours, I may have to call this trip off.
Anyone has more detail, specifically the timing of the storm on Sunday?
My Lil girl woke up sick so I couldn't go today, suks 2ft! I'll be up Sunday hopefully that storm stays on track. But yea tommorow will be a great day have fun!
I spent 4 days trying to ride heavenly once and it was closed each day. Wtf. ... anyway, I have never actually snowboarder at heavenly. I need to get back there one day. Kirkwood is a cool little place. Glad that some snow is happening, hope it keeps happening if for nothing else, the snowpack and water issues in the west
May or may not be useful. But I would keep an eye on the potential storm on Sunday. If the storm does hit, call up the resort and see if there's any possibility of the lifts shutting down. If they do shut down, it'll be because of the wind.
Now of course, systems can change in moments, I checked Northstar's website before I drove up and they had most of their chair lifts operating. Few hours later when we arrived, they had to shut it down.
Just hope that it won't be super windy. This last storm on Sunday had 40+mph winds. Even if the resort didn't close the mountain, people coming down said that the chair lift up was the scariest thing ever.
Yeah, monday was crazy. I didn't even bother hitting chair 10, the lift line just looked nasty and it got tracked out in minutes. Chair 6 was fun all through the day, though.
Whoop whoop! Just booked a Tahoe trip for Christmas weekend. I've been down to Tahoe several times and ridden a bunch of the mtns there, but never made to ti Kirkwood, so planning to ride at least 1 day there!
