South Lake Tahoe at Heavenly Ski Resort. Near the California-Nevada border. We presently need more snow. 🙏 ❄️

Hey man. I appreciate all comments and I hope you don't take offense to this. In my opinion, the conditions never truly SUCK, because I prefer to be on the mountain compared to doing other things. Tough conditions make me a stronger skier and help me to appreciate pow days all the more. I live next to a ski resort. If I waited for ideal conditions, I would ski maybe 20 days per season instead of the roughly 120 days I get each year. Each day I am out I am having fun. To each their own. Things that SUCK I avoid. So I agree with your comment. But my attitude towards the conditions is not exactly the same as yours. 👍

@@samshearer7020 Totally agree. There is something about skiing, more than other sports, that seems to provoke people into criticism. Also, the percentage of experts that I observe at ski resorts seems to be much lower than the percentage of experts on the internet. 🤔

I am sorry that I mis-stated your handle as Angelina Outdoors instead of Angelina Outside! 🤦‍♀️ Note to self: I need to do better fact-checking before I post. I hope that interested viewers can still find your channel easily enough. 🧐

@@Skye-JP No worries at all! :)

@@joesalemi2414 Yes, those locals were bold, even though Wolf Creek had 64" of snow fall already. I was amazed that my skis came out unscathed. Those guys seemed to know the lines and also exactly how much snow it takes to cover them. They were saying things like "you can ski over there the next time we get at least 9 inches of fresh". That knowledge must come from decades of skiing WC. Under those conditions, I wouldn't have hit those trees on my own because I don't ski there regularly. Was happy to have met those locals! There were some nice spots.

@@angelinaoutside It was Sunday November 17th. 😊 Saturday was cloudy and relatively cold, but Sunday was nice.

@@AndrewMoore-jf8vu The base there is excellent right now... 6 days looks to be right about when the next storm is predicted to arrive. Good luck 👍

@@nathanaelmoore It is an under rated mountain in my opinion... I've been there on excellent powder days in the past. Enjoy 😊

That video was from a Saturday at noon. April 6th. Conditions on the face were relatively firm compared to the rest of the mountain. ⛷️ 😊

@@MttlJonas Totally depends on the day. I own over a dozen pairs of skis. When it is firm I like my Stockli Nela's that are 80 under foot or my Volkl Secret's that are 96mm under foot. In this video, I'm skiing my Atomic Bent 100mm under foot. In powder I like my Armada White Walkers that are 117mm under foot or else my Icelantic Nomads that are 105mm under foot.

On that day, the snow was softer than it seems on video. (You can see layers peeling in front of me in the middle of the run.) I enjoy the variability in conditions on that run. I have fun there no matter if it is icey, scrapey, peeling, powdery, et cetera. Each of those present a challenge that I enjoy: finding the most-efficient, flowing technique to match the conditions. I often have a great time on that slope even when the snow isn't fresh.

@@Skye-JP learn to ski instead of rolling some 90+ rockers

@@Mike-zf4xg Just because I like to skid at times doesn't mean that I don't know how to carve a pretty turn when I desire to do that.

I think this could be an excellent trail for you because it is extremely easy and non-technical by mtb trail standards. I used an app called map my run by under armor, here is a link to a picture that shows my route. This is a well known trail around here, there is probably a lot of info elsewhere as well. 😊 imgur.com/a/ub69bS2

@@Skye-JP thank you. Found it on Trailforks, too.

That small pine tree, about halfway through this short, getting totally lit up by sunlight, inspired me to pair this simple, yet gorgeous ride, with music by Björk. 😊

Thanks! 😊

Thank you for the compliment!! When I first started regularly skiing GB it required far more cardio because my ski technique was not efficient. Now that I have a few thousand laps under my belt, the cardio demands are less. I love that run because it is constantly varying. I never know what to expect on a given day. That provides me a challenge: I need to adapt to the conditions of the day. I also like that the non-manufactured bumps allow me to creatively improvise on line selection and execution. Way more fun & exciting compared to lapping a groomer in my book. 😊

Thank you! I am using the "chesty performance mount" strap from gopro. Item AGCHM-001. I learned to ski on the East Coast, at Labrador Mtn. near Syracuse, NY. Cheers. 😊
