California/Nevada Mt Rose opens Tahoe Skiing 2018-19

[Tricia]

@Philpug @Andy Mink @Paul Lutes @JFB and I took advantage of Mt Rose's earliest opening EVER!


Mt Rose opened for pass holders only, which is a nice perk if you have a pass and are itching to get on snow.
As you can imagine, we were met with the October WROD, but it was a very nice WROD with a limited number of extremely happy skiers.

Conditions report:


And just in case you were wondering...



Meanwhile we shredded Merlin, Witches Brew and Spellbound

And me, finally able to get into my skinny ski pants


Thanks to @Paul Lutes for bring Aprés Ski to opening day. Perhaps we should have brought the Shotzski and some ULLR to pray for snow.


Thank you Mt Rose Ski Tahoe for giving us a little of our fix. We were getting jittery.

We are fortunated enough to be at Mt. Rose's opening day last year and again this year. Funny people kept shooting me messages How was it? and how many trails open? Well, for October 19th....all I can say it was awesome! One of the great things about Mt. Rose is that they take full advantage of their elevation and when they can blow snow and turn the lifts..they do.

Here's another reason(on the list of many) to like Mt Rose

Yes, with Ann, too! Pics are scattered around in a few threads. Hope mods don't kill me for this

Look at those red pants!

Look at those red pants!

Mine are the ones ski pants I've ever used. Other than a couple days skiing in shorts. I bought them for my very first ski day, and they are still going strong.

BTW, are you supposed to wash these things?
