I bet it was! I was right around the corner at Northstar
I gotta squeeze in some more day trips before the mountains start melting

Hmm, looks like the snow isn't all that great right now, the temp is a lil high. I'm sure it will be worth a trip anyways!

Went to Donner, sprained my knee in the first hour.
I got a ride down inthe toboggan.
Cant even go on my 2 day trip to Northstar.
Done for the season. *puts finger gun to head, squeeze*
On the positive side, the snow was straight powder in the backcountry.

I've heard awesome things about Mammoth Mountain, I know it's not exactly close to LA, but it's easier to get to from the South. Haveyou been?

Kobe Fan, you're a soldier!
Ludex, they make you register it by name to redeem your ticket, but I bet if you're crafty you might finagle a couple extra.
I've been so juiced for this coming season, I can't wait to ride!
A bunch of friends are heading to Northstar for opening day on the 21st, I might join them but it might just be a low-coverage blow out

You can only redeem the "Free" ($15) lift tix for specific dates. The back of the card they give you lists date ranges and the resorts you can usethem at. They do have blackout dates. Definitely a good deal if you are able to go during any of those dates.

sup everyone. you guys hear any good news on the snow report for tahoe?
also, i got the free lift ticket from skidazzle and it seems to be different this year. i remember last year i brought the card to northstar and redeemed itfor a free lift ticket. this year it says "two-for-one" free lift ticket. i've been trying to find out from skidazzle if i have to buy a liftticket in order to get a free one. if anything i'll probably get a double-whammy pass if it's the latter.

I just got home from a 4ish day vacay in Tahoe. On Satruday, I went to Sierra to board, and it was very decent. A friend of mines went yesterday to Kirkwoodand said there was fresh powder--which i totally believe since it was snowing the past couple days out there.

not sure if anyone checks this thread still, but i'm trying to go snowboarding within the next few weeks and i'm not really sure what place i shouldgo to being that i'm a beginner, but i was thinking maybe sierra or somewhere close to tahoe because i live around sacramento. also, how much would it befor the lift ticket and to rent a board and boots? thanks...

sugar bowl is supposedly the closest resort from the bay area. i liked it there a lot, but some of the beginner runs were hard to learn on because some of thetrails were too flat to gain any momentum. i went to sierra a few weeks ago and the beginner slopes are decent, but it was pretty crowded out there. in myexperience going to a tahoe resort on the weekend meant a lot of heads.
but, i went to dodge ridge out in pinecrest yesterday (some random place roughly 2.5 hrs away from tracy) and there weren't too many people. beginnertrails are pretty good out there, theyre all next to each other, and theres plenty of room to practice.
lift tickets can go from 49-59, but you can check snowbomb.com or your local lucky/safeway and see if they have any discount tickets. as far as rentals go atresorts, they can vary from 30-40 for the board/boots/bindings package, but i stopped at a nearby mom-and-pop rental shop about 10 minutes away from the resortand they saved about 10 bucks, so i suggest renting outside of the resort if you can.
