I got a free soul 7 demo at Vail last week. I'm not saying they are a good ski, but I am saying I am a much better skier when using them. ;)

Soul 7's will starve if they are pow deprived. I will be happy to watch them for you :D

I demoed them on an icy day and I enjoyed them. I can't imagine how they are in powder.

There used to be a place on right off the exit from 70 in empire that rented room for stupid cheap, like 400 a month. I thought the even had a sign advertising. Next time you drive by look for that sign or banner. It came to mind because they were month to month and cheap as F$%K. From that location I can hustle work in multiple directions.

This reminds me of the dump I used to live in at the bottom of Alpine Meadows rd. Those were the days...!

Had them on hard packed east coast snow 2 weeks ago and they were certainly Fun.....and those Powder memories were just simply Amazing in the tree's at Steamboat....Wish I was there right now !

Same here. The BA report on opensnow cites high pressure keeping storms away for another 2 weeks.
Pulling the plug on my trip, dammit!

Hopefully there is still room for the Alpine Zone summit and I can squeeze in and get there again this year. Maybe it'll blizzard again, haha.

Jesus F'n Christ, I've never seen anything quite like this....Just here, barely, waiting a few more days for a positive sign, anything. May have to move shortly...about 1000 miles east

move B. your situation sucks hard there. Have to imagine there's some Colorado or Utah resorts looking for someone with culinary talent to fill in for the end of the season.

I'm giving it ill Friday and if things don' look better (models) for a pattern change im gone. Plenty of work elsewhere. Everything is just so easy here for me...I don't care about averages at this point, just a decent cycle to get things opened up and people coming back. Some pow skiing would be nice too. Just need to make it till may. I've collected one paycheck since October and a shitty one at that....my reserves are drained

Well my wife and son just changed their trip for the first week of March from Tahoe to Colorado! The great thing was that it only cost $50 per person (Delta). The change fee was $200 per person but the base flight was $150 less, so only $50 out of pocket.

Great job. It worked and everyone around Tahoe thanks you. It's finally snowing!

That is amazing what little snow they've had this year. I still feel they'll get their snow eventually, but as of now, moving your trip looks like a good move. Glad it didn't cost you much.

How is Tahoe right now? Haven't done anything with my tickets. My uncle out there says it's great but I don't know what his idea of great is.

Upper elevations like Kirkwood are skiing pretty good but overall VERY weak for the second half of February. Storms busting left and right but that six inch refresher a couple days ago is skiing ok. If you like steep techy stuff kwood has been fun. Also Mott and Heavenly is open.

For the record things are definitely better than earlier in this thread, still no where they should be but natural terrain is open and hiking is worth it. What are your dates again?
