This is my home mountain. I was stoked to see the title in my feed. Kirkwood's terrain is A+ IMO. The amenities are a little lacking but the mountain makes up for the lack of investment. Sorry the conditions were flat and icy. We are between storms. Glad to see you riding the terrain I am too old and scared to go on. You should come back on a day when the snow is better. Also, maybe they could refill the paper towel dispensers in the bathroom and keep the restaurants open a little later.

I loved Kirkwood the way you go up to a ridge and you can ski it down over the back, side, or front. I'm a older female retired and you are brave! I went to get on a lift and saw the skull and cross sign warning experts only. I looked at my friend and said no I think well pick this lift over hear. Many of the trails that are blue Square 🟦 runs are beautiful to ski down with an occasional stop just too enjoy the scenery. Theres big (small Cliff rock) thats perfect (all snow covered) no rock exposed ( jumping (good air) but safe. I would love to see you cruise some 🟦 runs top to bottom. I enjoy your videos very much! Enjoy the holidays with your family!

I used to live in Lake Tahoe. There is no better view in California or maybe the world when skiing at Homewood Resort. It’s small like Big Bear but skiing their main run called Rainbow Ridge the view of Lake Tahoe on a clear day is breathtaking. It feels like you are skiing on the lake and you get kind disoriented due to the beauty. It is a view you will remember the rest of your life. It is hard to explain. The resort is really good after a fresh snowfall. There are no crowds.

Don't get in your head or listen to those negative thoughts. This video is sick af. I really don't think you get how inspiring you are or the impact you're having. Been watching your videos since the season began and sharing them with my 10 year old son has us stoked beyond belief for our first ski trip of the season next week. You are the man. Take a day off to rest up the legs and mind when you need it, but don't ever forget that what you're doing on a daily basis is bad ass. The work ethic is beyond what 99.9% of the people watching your content could sustain for any length of time. Thanks for what you do.

I've been skiing Kirkwood for 50 years now, the best lines on the mountain are : skiers right of Jims into Chamoix, Jims into Fireball, Headwaters to Norms Nose, anything under The Sisters, anything out past Glove Rock, The Wave, Covered Wagon, Fawn Ridge, 99 Steps hike to Thimble Peak then over to Larrys Lip into Hells Delight. This year was a lot like 2010-2011 and yea you need to hit it with in a couple days of a storm, the sun bakes it pretty quickly, but as long as you stay on the north facing aspects the snow is usually good especially up high. Many pole length powder days there in my days there. I'll say this much, probably the best kept secret in the west as the extensive ridge line offers so many aspects, they just need more lifts to access couple locations, and some more high speed quads.

Watching you trying to figure out the mountain, I was dying to show you my spots. Ex: Fawn Ridge trees on the backside (after a little hike) might've still held some pow, even on a crusty day like that. Don't give up, on a good day, Kirkwood absolutely rules!

We would drive up to Yosemite often in the 70s. So often the valley was covered in clouds and we would drive up and look back over the valley. Looked like the ocean, of clouds. Beautiful

if it ends up being a good snow year, come back to California for spring conditions. All those places where you fought with crust and frozen debris will turn into creamy corn. A good spring day on corn snow is as rewarding as a good day of Utah powder. And get some local knowledge - as you found, there's plenty of in-bounds stuff at Kirkwood, Alpine, Palisades and Sugarbowl which can be you-fall-you-die in the wrong conditions. Try to ski with a buddy once you're away from the groomers.

I always hear Kirkwood included in the Tahoe conversation but as a 'just barely' and you definitely feel like it is a different place than Heavenly or some of the resorts on the lake. Awesome terrain though, I agree. In the lower 48 it is definitely in the top 5 of the resorts I've visited for terrain- can't rate it more precisely as I've only been twice and most recent was over 5 years ago. So many resorts have hidden runs or terrain that depends on snow conditions that making a fair comparison gets difficult.

Sick! I'm a tahoe local and the wood is my favorite Epic resort. I live 5 minutes from the heavenly lifts but I'll still drive over an hour (or more with traffic) for a pow day! Weekdays almost never crowded and like you saw you can get right off chair 10 and drop into some truly gnarly terrain. Don't sleep on chair 6 either (Cornice express) because there is some nice stuff there as well. Sorry you had an off day and conditions weren't the best. Hope you'll be able to get back out here this year and get the full experience!

Skied Kirkwood within a few years north of the turn of the century. Was attending a conference in Anaheim during a February dump and couldn't resist the temptation; snow was much softer. More importantly, going west instead of east from the chair that took you to get to the wall provided the same steepness with cleaner lines. Was it closed? One thing I never understood about Tahoe resorts is they seem to favor south facing slopes. Heavenly is different, but still few of their slopes face north. You would think with Kirkwood at the south end of the lake, more slopes would face north toward the lake. Another reason why the snow is so much better in Utaaaaahhhhh.

Sunnyside gets us all once. Once. Only ice rink in the Sierra's that looks like fresh powder. Usually closed for the day after big storms, sits in the sun all day, then opens the next morning. SKI Magazine rated Kirkwood "The Best 2000 foot vertical mountain in the U.S." It skiis like a much bigger mountain. It also gets more snow than any other mountain in NorCal. It has more Expert Terrain than novice.

Went to Tahoe area resorts years ago. I think it is kind of funny how areas around there like to post the skull and crossbones signs. Rarely see them at other places. I guess it is effective in dissuading those that might have been on the fence.

I was on CVN 65 in the early 80's. With all the Cali Mini vans coming up they definitely need the warning signs!! They park in the middle of the road to put chains on and go sledding, they don't even know how to get on a lift properly so they cause them to slow down all the time and the next two weeks is the Asian invasion in Tahoe!!

You have to be super careful in those conditions with a new resort especially when skiing by yourself. That terrain with those flat light/snow conditions is so difficult it will beat your legs up very fast.
@LucasCatania17
@LucasCatania17 Год назад
leg fatigue isnt really an issue for me, more just all of the cliff bands and unknown terrain but definitely gotta be careful! i ski by myself 99% of my career

i dont think its fair to say the wall at kirkwood isnt very steep, carlos. im sure kicking horse is very steep, as well. but the wall at kirkwood is one of the most steepest pieces of terrain in all of tahoe. thanks for watching.

That's why there was no buddy out there... all the crust. I've never been there but they say it gets some of the most snow in the Tahoe area when it snows. It also had some affordable home building lots and might still have some left, like very affordable for Tahoe. Still, tryout Homewood if you want an easy day when there is a lot of snow, I usually hit it up when the other bigger resorts are too crowded, it's super small and might not fight your desire for difficult terrain but everyone local loves it the most, something about it... I've also been stuck in powder up to my neck at Homewood... not sure many can say that... took me maybe an hour to get 100 feet to the lift... also I've never even tried to ski Tahoe before Feb and usually went from Feb through March for a weekend or a couple weeks... a quick Google search says that Jan Feb March are the snowiest months in Tahoe, but the weather has been weird since about 2008. The best thing for Tahoe is to go for a few weeks and get lucky and get hit by a midweek storm where nobody can get there from San Fran until the next weekend so you have it all to yourself pretty much. Keep up the cool videos and I can't wait for you to get a AWD sprinter with some knobby tires some day!

Kirkwood is the only mountain I’ve ever called it quits on due to shit snow conditions. Absolute iciest, miserable snow of my life. I lasted 90 minutes. I know it’s a great mountain but my experience was so bad, and when you combine that with how remote it is to get to… I doubt I’ll ever be back.
