Far earlier than expected, Northstar California opened yesterday to Lake Tahoe's prototypical blue skies and and warm weather. With Vista and Arrow chairs turning, that meant there was plenty of terrain open to get both your park fix on, and some wind in your face.

John Foy with style for days

There is a super fun park setup on Arrow consisting of an up-flat rail, long flat box, back-to-back down bars, ending up with 2 perfectly shaped jumps. Couple that with side hits and perfectly groomed trails to bomb down, it's easy to understand why there seemed to be endless smiles all day.

JP Lagos became the victim of the Northstar Photo Caption contest on their Facebook page. Click the image to see all the comments, they're hilarious.

Dave Abarta in mid-season form already

After lapping pretty much non-stop for 6 hours, we rallied to Rubicon for beers and called it a day. Thanks for opening early Northstar!

And the video we snatched from the Northstar folks:

Two sunny days, one awesome park, and four hard-charging babes.  Add it all up and you get From Northstar With Love, a short and sweet park video from some ladies who are absolutely killing it right now.  Enjoy! 

Yesterday I decided to hit the snooze button a few too many times, but thankfully Silver Serino kept letting me know what I was missing and that I was "blowing it" not being at Northstar already. Considering I live at lake level, and didn't see any snow on the ground outside, I was a little apprehensive. Boy was I wrong. Yesterday was a Pow day. Not a dust on crust day. We got shacked. A lot. And the fact that is nuking snow at my house right now(at lake level) should inspire you to get out this weekend and shred. We are getting pummeled. Goodbye all of the hate we have for last season(if you can even call it a season), winter has shown up this year. BRING. IT. ON!

POW! Silver tried to jib this tree but the snow was too deep.
