Skiing The STEEPEST Runs At Palisades Tahoe!! 

I know that snow looks way too icy. That is why I dont go on North Star's backside mountains cause they are too dangerous. This vid definitly made me uncomfortable for when i had to snowboard on icy snow in Tahoe.

Tahoe has not been snowing less and less. We had a record december last year.

@@harrisonluhning925 while this is true, the snow has become more spread apart. we went 3 months with basically no snow.

@@Michael-nc3ib I was up there the week after this video came out. the snow wasn't that icy. northstars back mountains arent that dangerous either, you just need to learn to control yourself on ice. if you want real ice, go ski the east

Lmao you are so wrong this year

What's it all about man!!

There is good snow in the right parts of the mountain you just gotta find it. Its not powder but there's def some nice firm wind blown stuff. Just gotta grow a pair and ski it.

It does look thinner than I recall it being in the 00’s

Lol Yeah I'd have to say they picked the wrong exposure and wrong location pretty much every run lol haha. Definitely icey looking off of Headwall /cornice 2 area that rarely gets skied when it's like that headwell face would have been better typically skied out & in the Sun

@@joeykouri9750 Grow a pair? gimme a break, how about lessons. Bullshit ass wagglers go learn how to ski.

The snow and the crowds are like that all the time.

It sounds horrible.

To be fair this is as bad as squaw could possibly get

That was last year , 22 /23 season hasn't started yet .

its not typically this bad. this was after a 2 month snow drought

nah bud dw. Ikon pass focus mostly CO, but if you do ski cali, its still prolly fine. This is as bad as it can get, and so far winter has been sick for CO.

I ended up getting the Ikon pass and so glad I did as this season has had some record snowfall for Mammoth and Palisades Tahoe as well as many other Ikon destinations. Sometimes you have to take a chance and pray for pow. 🙏

All it was was icy runs 😂

that's not ice it's packed powder!!

I think it has a lot to do with the warm weather we have had lately, and then this week had some colder temps.

@@AN-jw2oe I live in Tahoe and ski every day, the conditions have basically been the same for 6 weeks, it freezes every night in Tahoe.

@@bjbhehir oh ok, thanks, so packed powder makes a scratchy noise? We were at Northstar on Thu, a really hot day, and in the afternoon in the shaded areas, it was really icy and noisy and slippery (less grip, as the snow was all hard) compared to earlier in the sun, so we were trying to avoid shaded areas. So is what we call “icy” still considered packed powder? When is it considered “icy?” Is this just the typical snow conditions there, or are there seasons where the snow is less “icy” than it is right now? And with the warm weather, do you think this year’s ski season will end unusually early? Thanks!!

@@AN-jw2oe i grew up skiing in New England and you ski on solid ice, so anything out West is basically hard pack. I think we'll be skiing till May. We better get a few more storms!

Stay home if you can't handle it.

@@2drsdan I do when those are the conditions, got better things to do than drive an hour and pay way too much just to survival ride shit ice to prove I m a man.

Got the jester pro on dps wailer 99…don’t love them😅

CA snow cement

😂😂😂😂 thank you!!

Yea Colorado generally has some of the best snow, certainly way better than this but the Sierras have better terrain hands down

I was on mammoth mountain this February and the snow was so icy. The snow plow plowed it and it was so rough

I live in Cleveland so only got a day at Squaw, wish it was better snow but gotta make the most of what ya get!

@@TheBagOTricks yes, I know all too well. Left crested butte and 24 hours latter they get 16 inches of fresh😢😢😢😢😢😩😩😩😩😩

@@Cocora22 I went at the end of that storm it was sick

Gotta use what ya got!

Thats not snow, its wind packed ice, and its for men wanting to spend time in the ER

@@ST19859 That's what I like to hear, have fun at Vail.

@@grizzkid795 Vail ?? lol I wouldnt ride that crowded mess if you paid me. Enjoy your ice

Thanks, I like firm snow, not really what I would call ice but hard enough to scare most skiers off.

I know, I was disappointed when I didn't see any of the steep runs

Everything off of KT minus GS bowl was closed. We hit what was open off of Headwall, Siberia, Granite Chief as well. Not a local but where would the steeper zones be when it's mostly closed?

@@TheBagOTricks the steepest run at squaw are the palisades, granite chief, and eagles nest. A video that says steepest at Squaw in all caps should have those in it. Look up videos of eagles nest and the palisades and you will see what we are talking about.

@@lukehampton2817 "steepest runs that were available to us due to snow conditions" just doesn't work the RU-vid algorithm in the same way 😂🤷‍♂️ hopefully next time more is open!

@@TheBagOTricks still misleading on your part. Just another video with a misleading title that leads to mediocre content.

GoPro Hero 8!

@@TheBagOTricks wow looks great! Very stable.

No lines this day, and we fools are from Cleveland!

@@TheBagOTricks Sorry for the harshness, All I can say is be safe cause there are many ways to die there.

Hoping to get a chance to surf soon!

I do and it was fine, but deeper snow would be a problem. All mountain skis would work much better in all conditions for steep terrain, I just don't own any all mountain skis.

ARV 96, they all mountain

Formerly known as Squaw Valley.

we're in a drought....
