A few IPhone images from our trip to Convict Canyon and Tioga Pass. There is a lot of bush whacking down low but good corn up high on East and South, North is polished wind board.
Drought conditions don’t make for great skiing. But, the flying can be great on windless days.

The bowl comes through again. They predicted 6-8 inches and the west slope doubled it.
Yesterday left a inch or two of Styrofoam, skis pretty well and the hard layer underneath is not ice. Beauty day, blue sky no wind.

Right now there is a spread among the forecast models of a foot up to 3 feet for the mountains. – See more at: http://opensnow.com/dailysnow/tahoe#sthash.VIXBy0z2.dpuf

Looks like we can’t have powder so at least the California sun and the cold January night time temps are harvesting corn. South and west exposures are great riding if you don’t mind a few bushes.
Stop by most local retailers and pick up the new issue of Tahoe Mountain Report, If you are out of the area drop us a note and we will send you a copy. Possible foot of new snow this weekend.
If it is too cold, you are too old
9 consecutive days of powder after the last storm, and counting. Should be good through Saturday
