Music: S.P.Y – ‘Xenomorph’ – forthcoming 12" on Metalheadz
Synopsis:
Below you will find pretty pictures of the melting snowpack of 2009/2010 in Northern California. Starting with a morning wind-filled ski tour at Kirkwood on June 12th, and concluding with a trip to Leavitt Peak on the 20th, we managed to accomplish almost everything on the agenda. With a South Lake Tahoe bachelor party slated from 1pm on Friday the 18th through the 19th, of which I can’t seem to find any photos (ha ha ha), a couple days of skiing before and after was officially scheduled. Items included a look at Solstice Couloir off of Mt. Dana (Tioga Pass), some lift served at Mammoth Mountain ski field, a hungover skin up to the Wall at Kirkwood, and a full day of touring at Sonora Pass.
Java Porn: Double Shot light – a 4-pack is a road warrior’s best friend…..
How about showing you some skiing…?
Kirkwood, CA – June 12th, 2010:
Early bird gets the cool shots…Carson Pass:
Hmmm, didn’t see clouds in the forecast….
The last of the roadside frozen lakes? Yep, it was gone a week later.
Kirkwood has been closed for a month and a half…
I think we should b-line to the sunny areas…
We skin up a groomer….always makes me laugh…
Getting closer, but also getting colder…not good for the Cirque mission…
Eagle Bowl ridge….frozen solid.
‘It’s a hurricane out here, let me in!’
So nice and cozy….well, too cozy. This will be our home for an hour…
This may be our line, but we should check out our intended line off the top of the cirque….at least to see if the snow will soften…
Spats runs up to the moon…
666 tells the young kid that this is an ExTr3m3e area…
Too windy to prove in this shots, but we decided to ski something safer…
A look to the South….in the direction of Mexico…
Spats goes for some firm delight behind ‘99 steps’…
GDS takes a much needed sunny line off the Wall…
‘Kinda firm’….not really waist deep.
Spats drops in….
And lays one down in minimal suncups….
GDS is too relaxed…
But as a young adult, his form is definitely improving.
Spats on the way to Buckboard…
666 had no idea that groomers could be so fun in mid-June….
Top to bottom coverage, GDS is rewarded with an apple juice for his efforts…
MaMmOtH mounTain – June 17th, 2010
Decided to hit Mammoth on a random Thursday in the middle of June, and funny enough , I get on the first chair with two Kirkwood patrollers on Moment Skis. Small world….
Off piste run numero uno….
Chair 23 was The Hotness….
You need to go deep to find the powder….
Told you….
Its as deep as it looks…ie, no photoshop.
Hiking DOWN into P4….
It doesn’t actually go, but we’re still going for Phillipes….
WE SURVIVED! OMG…(the POV video shows the snow quality)
Time to open it up in the suncups….
A look to the South….in the direction of Chile….
A scenic roundabout…
Token shot…
Back to corn farming…
‘The Dad’ had a buddy from Palo Alto fly him in for the day…and here’s proof:
I think we did a proper painting job….
BYE BYE Mammoth….
Tioga Pass, Mt. Dana, Solstice Couloir attempt – June 18th, 2010
With a golf game slated for 1pm in South Lake Tahoe, an early morning attempt to see if the Solstice Couloir cornice had melted out….if not, we would have to ski back to the car parked near the Eastern Yosemite gate.
Dana with Solstice on lookers right (internet photo)
Might as well just boot up this, skins aren’t going to help….
After about 2 hours or so…here’s the internet beta of Solstice Couloir as of June 18th, 2010….looks fun…but can we get in safely?
Hmmm….not from up there…
Little cliffy right here….
A week or two earlier, that apron towards where the photoguy was standing would have been sweet….sadly, it’s a no go.
Looking North towards British Columbia…
Winter vs Summer: FIGHT!
The swimming pool is still not open to the public….
Looking South towards New Zealand…
Dana Plateau….sunbathing…
Mono Lake Madness…
I took a swim in the salt water just so I’d feel refreshed for my 2 hour drive to golf…
This is a picture of my camera taking pictures while taking a nap on the salt bed…
Wow, a two sport day….
This is the best pic I got from the Bachelor Party…SORRY!
Kirkwood, CA – June 19th, 2010
After around 3 hours of sleep, and waking up early with a bunch of 30-somethings dead all over the rental….a trip to Starbucks and a solo hike up the Wall was in order…
…oh, I also left my camera on the roof the car and had to drive back to the Caples Lake Dam….that wasn’t so fun, and the camera…well…I’m still waiting to get a battery to see if it works…IDIOT!
View of Round Top from the new bathrooms at the lower Carson Pass parking lot…
Kirkwood….10am…summer is finally winning the battle at the lower elevations….
They were nice enough to plow me a skin-track ¾ of the way up the Wall…
Making it this far in a hungover state without any problems = good sign
…and ready to drop, not too shabby for June 19th. (Check the POV for the descent)
Back in Tahoe….I was out for a run but this got in the way…
You can see an Eagle in those Falls…
A pier…much more fun after a rum-runner or two….
SOnORa PasS – June 20th, 2010
I left Tahoe at 5:30am to meet a few diehards at the top of Sonora Pass. The plan was to ski the ‘Y Couloir’ and possible ‘Deadmans’…but with 5 other people, we began our uphill battle a little on the late side….
‘How the hell to touring bindings work?’
First ridge done, now just a short walk to that Leavitt Peak on the left…
Getting closer, just need to skin up that bowl….so easy.
Schralph….the typical snowboarder…
Base camp….
….whoa…trippy!
Do you know that its easier to skin up to the summit over those rocks than walk?
Summit log…misspellings everywhere, must be the altitude….
Summit of Leavitt Peak looking towards Peru….
I think this will do….
666 checks his entrance…
GDS drops in and gets some smooth steep corn on the cob….
GDS concentrating too hard…
Not too bad…for a kid.
…a kid…with energy and no reason to stop….
Driver drops in….
I’m assuming he’s a steep skier….
…enjoying himself? Only Driver will know….
666 encounters some loose granular at the entrance of the ‘Tube’…
But then, its groomer snow….
He told me that he had a good time…
Schralph gets into the mix…
…it’s this new sport called ‘snowboarding’….like a skateboard but with now similarities….
‘Hang 20 brah’…..
GDS gets binding deep at the exit…
Schralph….waiting for Karate Kid IV, not some lame remake…
666 showing off the red coat he bought off of Slim….
GDS takes a turn to the saddle….
Abominable was also there….a little tired…but he was there…
…I mean, its not like there’s obstacles in his way…heh
Schralph and 666 (cough…the real men of the group) take another hike for some extra vertical….
Nice view looking towards Alaska…
Oh hell yeah….this is going to be good….
…dare I say even on a snowboard?
If you squint, it could almost look winterish…
WhoooooooooooooooooSH!
That snowboarder again…
666 LOVES the groomer zone to the river…
Look at that jackass….
Maybe you should make sure that your skis are connected before crossing the warm river….
Driver found the other one….WOOT!

Dark Side of the Sonora Sun, Sonora Pass, CA – 05/17/08
Date:
May 17th, 2008
Location:
Sonora Pass, California – Late season backcountry skiing/splitboarding mecca for fun
Weather:
Lows near 39 F at 7:00AM climbing to 60-70 F during the afternoon. BLUEBIRD, mostly ZERO breeze, and no shade
Sonora Pass Soldiers: Skiers, Tele, Splitboarders…can’t believe we all get along!
666, Bcrider, Snowranger, AKbruin, SchralphMacchio, and mmcpheet
Photoslaves:
666, Bcrider, Snowranger, AKbruin, SchralphMacchio, and mmcpheet
Electronic Music: Modeselektor – ‘The Dark Side Of The Sun’
Synopsis: HOT!
The plan was to emulate the trip from about the same time last year. I would do a day trip from SF by leaving at an ungodly hour in the morning. The rest of the crew would meet before 7 AM at the side of the road at around 9,200 feet above the blue ocean. AKbruin, SchralphMacchio, and Snowranger would be hitting the area for the first time, so we decided to rally Bcrider and Mmcpheet to join in on the welcome tour.
For the past week, its been over 100 F in the valleys, upper 90′s in SF, and 70′s in the mountains. I was expecting horrible suncups. However, to our surprise, there were none. Also, no significant wet slide activity was witnessed to jaw our nerves. So, let the day commence….
Most people come home from the bars around this time on a Saturday morning…
I don’t remember taking this photo….
Near Oakdale, I saw the light….
3 hours 10 min with a stop…..’honey, I’m here!’
Bcrider and Mmcpheet already sweating from skinning….
Some kid marked up these rocks…I guess….
The game plan. Skin up the bowl, ski the Y couloir on the left, then ski to the base of Deadman’s on the right, boot up, then ski to the road. Should only take 8 hours….
Why skis the Y? U know WHY…
Going to be awesome booting up that, but just gotta’….
SchralphMaccio and the rest of the crew having a ‘Good Time’….
Mmcpheet waxed his skins with WD-40….so he made it to the summit in around 20 mins….
Looking good to me…
LONG LIVE THE SUFFERING…THE SWEET SUFFERING
Ah, Sierras to the South….
Ooooooohhhhhhhh…
AKbruin on top of Leavitt Peak @ 11,569 ft….
Snowranger is lost…
Obligatory…
Ok, so this dude pre-released before he dropped in. Yep, as in one ski sailed all the way to the valley floor. Not to be discouraged, he left his pack at the summit and went after it. Then booted back up. Ugh!
SchralphMacchio and Snowranger enjoying the post suffering…
666 is an ice-axe expert…
See? He made it!!!!
Mmcpheet is the first to drop in…
We like his spunk, we like his style…

‘Hey Mmcpheet! My iPhone says that I’ve burned 8,000 calories today!
666, so stoked to be on the summit…
Nice view to eat some Shot Blocks and drink some water….
The Skier and Boarder unite…"Let’s Do This!"
Shoulda’ just straightlined it…but we did just boot up the damn thing in 120 F heat.
mmcpheet messes up the snow…
Snowranger cashes in the 401K….

I like this sequence of the snowboarder…

Da rider gets all the good shots…
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
666 loves Sonora corn…

Snowranger lets it run to the lake…
Akbruin making Movement Skis happy…
Yep, I think he liked them…
Schralph showing why he won the All-Valley Karate Tournament…
666 making steep turns….

No no. Not fail, but SUCCESS!
‘Should we take another lap?’
OMG Bcrider SKIING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH SNAP! HE FELL IN!
LOL KEEP LOOKING FOR HIS BLUE SHIRT, I’M SURE HE’LL BE FLOATING DOWN SOON…
666 and SnowRanger get rewarded with this last pitch for the high traverse that barely went. Thank god it did!
Weeeeeeeeeeee! I get to drive back home now!
SnowRanger in our sick entrance to the snowfield…
Now we wait…
…and wait….
Screw it, 666 will walk the 2 miles…in Tecnicas!
Finally, Bcrider arrived with a pickup…
For some reason, he thinks its funny when I carry his splitboard…not sure why.
666 stoked…or tired…or both.
Next year we’re skiing that face damnit!
‘What, no WI-FI?’
ZE END
‘STOKE’….the Mid-May 07′ CA Mega TR (Mammoth, Sonora Pass & KW Cirque) – 05/13/07
DATES:
May 11th-13th, 2007
PLACES WITH SNOW TO SCHUSS DOWN:
Mammoth Mountain, Tioga Pass recon shoot, Sonora Pass (Mt. Leavitt, etc) and the infamously, always permanently, seriously, and humorously closed Kirkwood Cirque.
FRIENDS OF GRAVITY:
666, Zippy, Sierra Cement, Bcrider, Slim, and Hairy (who appeared out of the sulfur pits of Mammoth)
WEATHER:
How does bluebird, 50 F, no wind, and corn snow without suncups sound?
****CAUTION****
If above sounds horrible, click back on your browser of choice now!
SYNOPSIS:
Arrive to South Lake from SF at 12:45 am on Friday morning, day-trip-it’ from SLT to Mammy, Sonora, and KW Cirque respectively the following days, ski, and basically, buy a ton of gasoline….high octane of course.
Mammoth total snowfall = 231”
Kirkwood total snowfall = ~ 385”
Sonora Pass total snowfall = let’s say ~300”
MUSIC: Well….S L A Y E R
Slayer – “Angel of Death”
DAY ONE: MAMMOTH, CA (an area where one accesses the terrain via lifts)
The objective was to burn the rust of my shredded Gotamas via the groomed run system, and then bend some edges skiing over to the Paranoids, etc in order to punish some wide open corned bowls & chutes.
….but something strange happened. As I rode a lift, alone of course, a gothic yet animalistic creature appeared on a pair of Blizzards. It was then that I was in the presence of Hairy, the mythical being from the Eastern Sierra. Many have read about him, few actually seen him in first-person….ladies and gentlemen….he is real.
Ooooooh, Ahhhhhh. The Sawtooths and Beef (its what’s for lunch) as viewed from Bridgeport….
Another rare summer viewing of a winter creature…..yes, a snowcat:
The park was in a medium showing. Couple rails, few medium tables, one large table, and a pretty pathetic, although lengthly, pipe for Mammoth’s standards.
The upper mountain is accessed via the Gondola…
Sad year for Da Noids, but worth the hike for the epic corn steeze…
Stump Alley was nothing short of amazing…probably due to the fact that only about 40 people were at Mammoth on Friday. That’s right folks….let em’ run!
What’s the word? Ah yes, obligatory.
As one looks to the South….he finds snow and mountains.
This guy popped out of nowhere. I told him I wanted gnar. He smiled and then I followed….
Chair 23 goodnessssssssssssssssssss….
Smooth snow, and some obstacles…
Just what the doctor ordered…
As prescribed by Dr. Hairy.
…..and yes….Hairy in motion….on skis.
Over to the Paranoids to access Phillipes…little tricky.
Don’t plan on skiing form the top, I got the middle finger form my Gotamas…
But well worth it if you ask me….
Hairy got some vid-caps on the epic descent…
Warning though, little air towards the end….I suggest allowing time to thaw.
Aggressive FUN skiing!
Did I mention that we saw few if any of the human race after 1pm…?
Mammoth…all to ourselves. Can be yours until Memorial Day.
….and Hairy approved.
Figured I’d help the Tioga Massive by taking some recon shots…not looking worth it if you ask me…but who am I but a Tioga jong.
Lots of vertical, little snow…
DAY TWO: SONORA PASS, HWY 108, EASTERN SIERRA, CALIFORNIA
Four people, 5 cameras….not a small task even for a veteran TR geek.
2 weeks earlier…we did this:
http://www.slaythegnar.com/2007/04/sleepless-at-sonora-pass-mt-leavitt-ca-042707/
*Video – HD Video by bcrider (includes various shots from both outings)
After a sleepover eating candy and playing Mega-Man 2 on NES with Bcrider, we departed to Sonora at 5:15 am…
Of course, with the proper driving materials…
Time, 7:51 am – Sierra Cement contemplates on how skins actually work…
Zippy on the other hand got his off an 18 Wheeler…
And the Mid-May playground after a shitty season comes into view…
666 does his favorite 80’s dance up the Mars landscape known as Sonora…
No-Name peak…you know, if you want to do laps up and down to your SUV.
The boys start to bond rather quickly…
Zippy scratches some early morning Bluetooth…
Sierra Cement is anti-switchback when skinning…I hate him.
That’s how he was able to get this pic of us ‘normal folk’…
Bcrider scopes a line we didn’t see two weeks ago…
Zippy scouts the “Y”…
Here is a view of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range of California…
We decide on the Paris Hilton sized chute…
Sierra Cement paves away…
Zippy links some turns while listening to Hot Chip….
Splitboard dot what?
CA Chutin’…..
Zippy, again, in the Moment…on skis.
Schusssssssssssssssssssssssssssss, Schusssssssssssssssssssssssssssss……
666 down the crux…
Bcrider takes shooting chuting way too seriously….
666 down the gut…of Ms. Hilton
And Zippy zips down the fan….
666 goes to Kansas…
Mr. Electro at 150 bpm….
He switched tracks during this turn….amazing.
The knuckle dragger is on deck….
Ok, I’ll admit it, it sort of looks cool….
666 – up to evil things…
Mr. Cement prefers cement that is not quick drying….
Mr. AD-HD…
Zippy heads to lunch….
…quad-shot express
Nap time for Zippy’s longest tour to date…
666 dreams about taking off his boots…
Off to Dead Man’s Chute…
Ummmm…..getting a little steep guys.
There’s always one in the group…
666 was tired…he told me so.
Who is the dork? He’s not with us is he?
All digital music here….sadly, no cassette walkmen.
What would a couloir TR be without a tip-shot…?
666 gets first tracks since IT WAS HIS IDEA TO HIKE THIS THING!!!
Of course, he made selfish big turns…
Goth shot…
You are so not hardcore without hard boots?
Zippy remixes that boarder’s line….
And hits #7 on the underground off-piste skiing chart…
Dad takes a turn…..
Rad move dude…
Zippy, only releases on vinyl…
Bcsnowrider….ridin’…having a fun time.
CementMan pops some corn….
Yeah dude….now throw a sick method
Zippy spins his tracks in reverse…AT style…
The line of choice…well I chose it, but I’m not going to brag or anything.
Uberdork….on his way to the highway
Leaving his mark for the tourists that think they are on their way to Yosemite…
Poor little guy….he’s pooped.
The bottom face has been SLAYED…
So pretty pretty….
These jerks wouldn’t give us lift back to our cars….people these days.
Nice view of that line I picked out for everyone…too bad it sucked.
In the metropolis of Walker, they have this….
…where you can hand pick from these:
DAY THREE:
Lets stay close to home this time, have normal wake-up hours, and hit Starbucks on the way, shall we? Well then, lets go ski the Cirque at Kirkwood. ITS SO EXTREME THAT ONE CANNOT SKI IT LEGALLY DURING THE SKI SEASON!!!!!
E X T R E M E !
I guess they could still be open…but that would mean using electricity, so forget it.
The forbidden line is the only one that actually ‘goes’….
Slim crosses a chairlift graveyard…
…and soon reaches north-facing Bluetooth during the skin
Captain Xmas reaches the summit with Caples Lake in the background…
666 drops into Carnells…
The snow was so K-factor….
Sub 400 inch years are so hot right now…
Santa sheds the xmas gear….
G N A R ?
Slim stepped it up here….blind straightlines are never relaxing
666 finds heavenly smoothness in mid-Carnells…
….looks terribly carveable
Slim on the same line….
666 pulls a Schmidt…
Then gets hella volcanic….
Slim gets his steep on….WHY IS THIS CLOSED?????????
…and then traverses into an open gem
Aggressive Alpine Skiing? You be the judge.
Looks like someone has been practicing his carves….
Slim says farewell to Kirkwood and rides Thunder Saddle to the car
Of course 666 has the best T-shirt for the Cirque descent….
….Mid-May 07’ Stoke Nerdblog transmission over
Sleepless at Sonora Pass & Mt. Leavitt, CA – 04/27/07
DATE:
April 27th, 2007….year of the Monsta’ snowpack
LOCATION:
Sonora Pass, California with short walk to Leavitt Peak @ 11,569
Extremely extreme ski/board mountaineers:
666, bcrider, mmcpheet, JT, puffnattie and powderjunkie.
CLIMATE:
Bluebird, no wind, and a cloud. My car read 55 F at 5:30 pm so I’m guessing it was in the 50′s for most of our journey.
SYNOPSIS:
Park on the pass, drink some water, hike up to Leavitt Peak, ski down, hike up again, ski down to the road, and then hitch a ride back to the car. Along the way, try to ski some corn snow in wide open bowls, and a hint of winter snow off Leavitt. At 8:20 am, the skin track started. However, we arrived back to our modes of transport at around 5:00 pm.
MUSIC: Evilnine Crooked ft. Aesop Rock
VIDEO: Some HD video shots from bcrider:
Bay Bridge at 4:24 am….
Looking toward the East after Oakdale, CA
At 7 am, the peaks come into view…
Gnar factor 11 face…
The lover’s den…
Did it freeze the night before?
666 arrived in about 3 hours…warp speed, no traffic.
bcrider took the Comis for a spin…
…and tried to kill mmcpeet to sell his body parts on Ebay
Remember Leroy Jenkins?….that was so hot in 2006…
bcrider could not be any slower. JT lapped us many times.
Up the first ridge, I see our objective…
But first, bcrider must carve his way to the base of Leavitt Peak…
There she is….Leavitt Peak and some coolies
We’ll hit the "Y" first…
"Which one should we hit?" 666 responds with arm signals….
bcrider slogs his way up to the summit…
puffnattie poses in front of a green screen with digitized mountains…
Kinda cool….
It sucks that is was shitty weather…
Skins come off right dad?
A rare sight caught on 101010101010′s. A skier and a boarder converse.
How far should we go?
How about a couple turns?
I mean, it does have a nice backdrop….
Powderjunkie drops into the right side of the "Y"…
…and again from another angle….
God he’s fast. The paparazzi had a little trouble getting the shots…
JT aka "The Animal" gets some tube…
Oh hell yes…
He likes the "wintery snow" on skier’s left…
Puff nattie makes her way down with ease…
While JT laps up the fresh…
Again, JT seems to be having a little too much of a good thing…
666 is up and makes a carve just below the glacier…
Bcrider was with us, and he decided to "snowboard" down this CHUTE! OMG!
….he slaps a scenic ridge with funky soft-ice.
….milks a little carve action….
666 orders a latte…
Mmcpheet aka The invisible assassin, runs the gut…
This snowboard guy starts to show off when I pull out a camera…
I mean, c’mon dude, you’re just doing this for the internet ski nerds…
That JT guy LOVES to hike….here he is booting up this chute while we rehydrate.
After one sip, he’s already skiing down…AMAZING!
Yep, you guess it. JT passed us up on the skintrack on the way back up.
Cool scenery aye?
I love scree, especially when wearing Tecnicas….feels good when it bangs on your knee.
Onward to our next project…
Puffnattie gets all scenic…
So does Schmidiot…
The Rider carves some meat…
Mmcpheet and Bcrider get a little sexual…
666 goes into the past….
….and even further to the west…yet another playground.
Not too shabby…
Especially when this separates the two…
Powderjunkie gets some corn instead of powder. Funny, he didn’t complain at all…
666 finds an open face for ghost ridin’ his skis…
And then enjoys the snow on the next face…
Bcrider, however, gets his jump on….
666 completes the first ever "river schmear"…
…into the hollow snow to granite bonk.
We tried to hitch, but JT already made it to his ride, and picked us up in about 2.3 mins…
Big day for the six’er…he collapsed on HWY 108…
bye
bye
