This is a very good sign that Tahoe will be getting an early start on winter. Last night we received 4 inches of snow, not the wet sloppy stuff, it was cold. It is now a race to see who will open first. These are the three best bets Kirkwood, Heavenly or Boreal ridge. Heavenly has the most Snow making equipment, Boreal has the a lot of snow making equipment too, and a very high evelation, and Kirkwood has some snow making and always the best weather pattern for natural snow fall. This year I’m feeling Boreal, they are known to open up for a quick weekend, even if they end up closing for a few weeks till more snow comes. Boreal also loves to throw Halloween Parties, so get you costume ready, wax you stuff, because it looks like a zombie winter!

An unplanned reunion of some of the South Lake Tahoe snowboarding pioneers happen at the inaugural ULLR’S Jib Jam at Lakeside Inn & Casino. Pictured here Eric V Skate Park builder, Randy Walters former Pro Snowboarder turned carpenter, Bob Daly founder of Shoreline of Tahoe, and Jimmy Halopoff of the South shore soldiers Ski & Snowboard camp. The event was a blast, Ullr the Nors god of snow must of wanted to jib because the weather was great! Jimmy was invited to judge the event which had over 70 skiers and snowboarders.

Washed up old South Lake Tahoe Snowboarders still come out to encourage the next generation. Those of us who pioneered snowboarding here in Tahoe are amazed at where the sport has been and where it is going. One thing for sure is there is no end in sight. These new riders keep pushing the limits, and I think that is what draws us old guys to these events to see what is next. There is some ownership to being the first snowboarders to do all we did. Until snowboarding becomes flat with no new horizons you can expect washed up old South Lake Tahoe Snowboarders to still stop by and check out the scene.

Meet “Ullr” a the pagan god of winter from Scandinavia, some locals have enlisted his powers, to make it snow here in South Lake Tahoe by having a big party / movie showing at Lakeside inn. If successful we will have Ullar to thank…….or may-be it was the cloud seeding? Where ever you end up placing your faith, don’t miss this party, because everyone who is somebody will be there. Raffle proceeds to benefit Christmas Cheer.

Comming December 18 at Bar 24 in South Lake Tahoe

The South Lake Tahoe Skate Park is where it’s at. Skateboarding in December, in Tahoe? The Locals with the right attitude, just carry on skating, mountain biking, whatever they’re into until it snows. No whining about the snow, just shut up and skate. Oh by the way, meet “Bruce” he’s 4 years old, and you don’t hear him whining. Sorry about the crappy quality, I’m still figuring out my new camera.
