Calling all TAHOE AREA WEBMASTERS!
 

Ski season's approaching! Who's ready for some powder??

Fuck yeah, Yan, it's been an amazing summer but I am ready to hit the slopes. :thumbsup

you know sad thing is, I just spent half the summer on the east coast visiting family. I'm hoping to squeeze a little wakeboarding, camping and kayaking in before it gets too cold!

but....i'm freaking jonesing for some riding too, hopefully we have a kickass season again. where do you ride? i kinda stick to south shore but i'd love to re-visit some of the north shore resorts, it's been 2 years and it's always fun to "get outa town" a little! :winkwink:

I know that some of the adult.com guys like to come up here to do some riding in the winters, we should try and arrange a party night out or something

hey so phil what are you doing up there workwise? we've been busy cranking out this 3d porn world for the past year...thank god for pay site revenues cuz all those designers and programmers are expeeeeensive!

I run my main site, ThongPeak.com, and I have several side projects going (most of which are not yet ripe for the talking about :winkwink: )

I also do quite a bit of freelance work for a mainstream company in Santa Barbara as well as a few small local companies.

We should definitely get together and ride this winter, like you, I mostly stick to my local (lol North Lake) resorts, but it's high-time I get my ass down to Heavenly and try out the new terrain that I've been hearing about.

So looks like we are the only two webmasters on here who actually LIVE in Tahoe, although like you said I'm sure a lot of webmasters come up here in the winter for the skiing. Would be great to do a get-together one of these months :)

Hell yeah, open the chuuuutes... I usually get a season pass to mt. rose, but I might upgrade this year and try to get one to alpine or squaw. My favorite resorts in order...

1. Squaw
2. Alpine
3. Northstar
4. Sugarbowl
5. Boreal (cheap! night boarding!)
6. Mt. Rose (its really close)
7. Homewood (old school)
8. Diamond Peak
....
54. Heavenly

*edit* a good day of hiking the Rose peak beats any of these resorts...

Homewood is definitely a good call. Get a pass for $200 and still be skiing powder 3 days after a storm :thumbsup

So you over the hill in Reno man??

Yup, I've been hitting the Tahoe resorts for about a decade. Started out in college when Tahoe was the center of the birth of snowboarding and the ultimate hipster scene. I used to go to Boreal every night after classes for the night boarding... dangerous conditions to learn on, but I was hooked. Recently I've been getting the $200 pass to Rose just because its so cheap (actually, I think its $300 now). Friends will usually have a couple of free passes laying around and I'll hit the good resorts a couple of times a year.

Where do you usually go?

I mostly go to Squaw/Alpine, but Homewood calls my name several times a year as well. Squaw's so fuckin' expensive though, if I didn't have "access" to cheap or free passes I would go there as often ;)

i'm ready! i'll be up there this weekend for a reggae festival i believe.

I don't know if you guys know about the gold pass but it's a great pass if you like to ski different resorts all the time. $1800 gets you a ticket a day at any of the resorts plus mammoth and all other cali resorts. Fully transferable, I used to have two so I could take people out anywhere I wanted and sell the extra ticket on the days I went alone!
