I hope those chutes at Mt Rose are open for you guys.  Those great North facing runs (highest in bound elevation in Tahoe, I think) are the best kept quasi-secret in the region.  Best thing I skied last time I was in Tahoe.

Driving to all the different ski areas is one of the best things about a trip to Tahoe-variety is the spice of life and all that!

Liam is quite correct - Mt. Rose is an absolute jewel of a ski area. Reminds me of A-Basin, only bigger. Snow was much drier than at Alpine in the patches of snow remaining, tree skiing was still very  good. A cool sunny day to ski, later the wind came up and we found out why the locals call it Mt. Blows. Another great day of skiing. Demo'd 6 pair of skis, will report later.

Liam - the chutes were pretty dicey from a coverage standpoint, many are still closed due to lack of snow. On the chairs, we saw plenty of people hitting covered rocks and trees. Some in the group happened to be there when the patrol dropped the ropes to open a chute so they got fresh tracks and smiles. I got caught up demoing and did not see as much of the mountain as I had hoped. Would love to return.

A very special event occurs today at noon while at N'star. Any guesses? Will spill the beans tonight.
