I'm a millennial that still wears skinny girl jeans.

I'll bow out of this discussion.

Hood this weekend with my daughter while the wife toils away at work. Such a pleasant weekend.

Though, she is a chitty chatter, and did slam the bar down onto my leg. And very, very vocally proclaim; "Almost got your vagina." Because the wife is all about the proper terms for everything. Then we dove deep on anatomy for boys and girls. Sorry stranger on the lift. It wasn't new, she just needed a refresher.


Correct terminology is probably vulva in that situation, but good on you.

I got on a lift with 3 7yo girls from my daughters race team who told me nothing but poop jokes for the entire ride.

Are you sure you didn't speed check before a jump on the last run, and she was taking trash?

Lake Tahoe and the Sierras are getting dumped on as well with another system building confidence next week. Kirkwood is going to get up over 100" base it looks like and many of the surrounding resorts will push into the 70"-80" range. We are heading up March 7 and were expecting maybe a day skiing just to get out and stretch. If all this holds, I may be making it a week trip.

They're at a 51 inch base right now with 45 in the forecast.

Bad News Is 55 mph winds w 105 mph gusts. That means more base is leaving than growing even w the snow. If they catch the full 40 they may add 10 inches to the base. Maybe. It's a double edged sword. Snow good - wind bad. 55mph - 105mph winds = very bad.

I'm eyeing Kirkwood more than Heavenly but yes the wind looks brutal. We decided on Tahoe this year because nowhere looked particularly compelling and I can always sit on a patio and have a good drink while looking at gorgeous scenery in Tahoe. If they catch good snow it will be a bonus this year.

I've been to Lake Tahoe in the summer months several times over the past few decades, and I love it out there, but I've only been there during ski season once- about two decades ago- for a bachelor party in March. It was amazing. We were able to ski Heavenly all day then gamble and party at Caesar's Palace all night for three straight days. ...is it still like that?

There's still skiing and a casino there, if that's what you mean.

I'm not a big gambler at all...but man, I was very disappointed in Heavenly when I skiied there 10 ish years ago. It's very beautiful with the lake and all...but the town and area seemed kind of trashy and there weren't many/any good restaurants and bars near the base or gondola. Great if you just want to ski and/or gamble - crappy otherwise imo.

I will say I enjoyed it a lot more the one time I went in the summer with all of the stuff to do further out and about and along the lake.

It's very old school ski town. Definitely not telluride

There are plenty of good places to eat and drink, just gotta find them.

The base/gondola has gotten better

California side drops right into a neighborhood, which is cool.

Himmelhaus there is awesome for Apres.

Did my bachelor party there… 10 years ago. What a blast. Skied all day. Threw dice at night. Huge house with hot tub. March madness. Loved it.

I recall the skiing at heavenly being pretty good, but the hookers in Tahoe had to be ordered in from Reno. it was a long time ago though.. things may have changed.

Man...doesn't get much more old school than Telluride. But I guess it depends on your definition.

Again, South Lake Tahoe/Heavenly is absolutely a great place if you want to ski and party at the casino!

Admittedly, it didn't help my experience when I went and the snow was crap. But at least wanted good food and drinks since the skiing sucked.

I guess. Heavenly has been around since the 50s. Telluride, 70s

Definitely not the newness of South American Vail Village.

Town of telluride founded in 1870s as I'm sure you know. I just thought South Lake Tahoe was kind of a **** hole. But I'm sure it was a great place to have a bachelor party. I had an awesome time at a wedding there.

Anyway…it's dumping in Telluride now as I assume it is all over!
