Pretty great day on the slopes yesterday. Got up there around 11:00 AM, parked a couple of hundred feet from the lift, and skied right onto the chair. Did a few warm up runs then headed over to the infamous Chutes. They had opened them back up Sunday so I missed making new tracks, but figured they would be holding some good snow. Wasn't disappointed on my test run down Yellowjacket. Good enough to ski the mother of all Chutes:





El Cap is the longest/narrowest/steepest shot down the mountain, which means it's the steepest pitch in Tahoe short of dropping off a cornice. As the sign suggests, great potential for a yard sale. It was pretty awesome, got chased down the hill by some basketball sized chunks of mogul. Ended up skiing all but two of the gates (small side runs). Some shots from the tail out:





When all was said and done:
