Tahoe Nukage and I'm here in Santiago. I tried to get my ticket changed to head out tonight so I could ride on Saturday but no luck.
Oh well, at least the will solidify the base for the season, we just need more to come.

| got a few more inches of snow today, with about 30 min of misting at noon. It was the most crowded i've seen sugarbowl in a long time, the lines were almost 2x the size of the mazes. |

conditions are great right now, i went yesterday with a friend and had the best snowboarding day of the year. Sugarbowl had great powder and we literally had the entire mountain to ourselves, there was maybe 100 people on the whole mountain.
to make things better im friends with a ski patrol guy and he told me all the secret powder spots, AMAZING, i was so stoked. snowing all this week so conditions are going to get better, except i hear the wind is suppose to pick up a little |
