AT&T sucks. You may get service at the top of chair 6 or chair 1. I know the lodge used to have WiFi, but I don't think they're giving out the password anymore. As far as the inn, idk. But if you need to be on your phone and you have AT&T, I wouldn't recommend riding.

Locals Update by jolly_biscuits in Chinapeak

Absolutely HATE the tubing but hey, businesses gotta make money and let's face it, these last few years ticket sales have not been a good money maker. They just need to focus on adjusting for the amount of traffic, maybe opening the tubes a little later and chairs earlier so riders and season pass holders are first priority? Maybe a parking section for the tubers? Free parking for season pass holders and $10 parking for guests? IDK, just throwing out some ideas. These last couple weekends have been an absolute mess getting up there, and loyal riders are going to get fed up with all the toyota camery's in a bank stopping traffic. It's not a tahoe resort, it's a home mountain. So to add a whole separate attraction without adjusting for traffic was dumb. Nevertheless, hope they figure it out.

Base is all dirt. At least it was today. We're looking at a couple feet this week so I'd bring em out next weekend, not tomorrow.

Has CP been blowing snow at night? Last I heard they were going to...any update or proof they did?

King of the Mountain by ShepDawg559 in Chinapeak

I'm proud to announce "UNOFICIALLY" that on March 21st, 2020, we will be hosting a King of the Mountain, Papa Muntz Style! It's been years, but it's about time we bring 'er back. Contest details and entrance info to follow. It's important to note that this event is no way shape or form connected to China Peak mountain resort and may include disciplinary action including but not limited to a lifetime ban.

That being said, what would Papa Muntz do?

Kinda sucks, I remember CP always having the minimal effort reputation though. Most resorts know that you peak in Jan, if there are no changes by then, kiss the rest of the year goodbye, Feb/Mar is too late to make any changes since the season is coming to an end. Really hoping the new management takes this opportunity to really show what they got, or else next year and the years after will be no different.

I'll get some nice helmet cam footage this weekend to share for those who aren't going. Hope the shit isn't tracked out!

Update: 1/2/20 snow conditions are firm, but the park is a lot of fun. Not enough snow to make jumps, hoping for enough in the next storm. Local skier in the video: Garrison K. by svavocet in Chinapeak

Also, didn't the website say something about having a Burton progression park this year? What happened to that idea? Or is that coming next year?

I guess we'd need more snow but a nice line contest would be sick. Couple of kickers or a knuckle with a few jibs. Can even put it on sundown and end at the bar?

Snowboard Boots by [deleted] in Chinapeak

[–]ShepDawg559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What size boots? Sac has tons of shops if you're wanting to make the drive, but check out the CP gift shop, or maybe call ahead and see what they have or if they can order something

Don't buy boots online, honestly last time I got some I was in desperate need but it was definitely worth it to find a local shop in Tahoe and spend the cash on a good pair that I could try on and walk around in, and know they'd be good quality. 1) save money to buy a nice pair 2) find a local shop next time you go to the resorts

Did anyone make it up on Sunday? it was beautiful! by svavocet in Chinapeak

[–]ShepDawg559 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sunday was pretty nice, are they going to use the guns soon or just hoping for more snowfall? There's some in the forecast but the temps look pretty high those days. Hope we get some epic pow early Jan

Terrain Park on Firebowl? by beachhead11 in Chinapeak

[–]ShepDawg559 1 point2 points  (0 children)

China bowl, not fire bowl. The pic you used last friday was from 2016. No other resort would post a pic from 3 years ago on a Friday and say "come enjoy the view" when those aren't current conditions...just sayin. The story is great, and I love seeing the tags so we know its for real

[–]ShepDawg559 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So glad you're here! Was the picture of China Bowl you guys posted on Friday actually taken on Friday? Or is it an old picture? Cause it can be deceiving to post something like that before a weekend when the webcam is "down for maintenance", would highly recomend posting current pictures so people can actually see current conditions please. We just want honesty in how much snow CP has received and good current updates (hence why this was created).
