What if every night you got to play in the snow with a big red monster tank, you got to eat dinner under the stars and watch the moon the rise, and in the morning you got to watch the sunrise from a mountain top? Oh what a life that would be! Thanks #tahoedonnerdownhill (Rob) for the opportunity #truckee #pistonbully #skibusiness #gooromax #gopro #tahoedonnerassociation #tahoedonner #snowgroomer #snowgroomers
First night of a seven day event of snow. Spent 10 hours grooming in a blizzard last night. Learned a lot, and had a blast. #blizzard #tahoe #tahoedonnerdownhill #donnerlake #truckeecalifornia #pistonbully #pistonbully400 #snow. The first photo is out Christmas tree on our deck. The machine is what I drive at work. The last picture is what it looked like out my front window all night long. We would make one pass and when we returned could not see our tracks
Got to teach snow boarding today for first time all season to a friend from Mill Valley. After she had a bad experience learning in Europe she came to Tahoe Donner and did great. Tahoe Donner is the perfect place to learn to ski and snow board. I forgot how much I loved teaching people a new sport. It can be life changing. Appropriately today is Jake Day honoring Jake Burton the inventor/promoter of the sport. RIP Jake #tahoedonnerdownhill #snowboarding #truckee #tahoedonnerskiresort #tahoedonnerassociation #tahoe #yoloaventuras #jakeburton
Soft impressions in the fresh snow. It is amazing how often it snows at night and ends in time for the sun to rise and the sky turns blue. #pow #tahoedonnerdownhill #tahoedonnerskiresort #tahoedonnerassociation #tahoedonner #firsttracks
Inspecting my work! After grooming all night in the dark it is good to snowboard the slopes to see how it sets up. #tahoedonnerdownhill #tahoedonnerskiresort #tahoedonnerassociation #pistonbully #snowgroomer #truckee #truckeelove #corduroysnow #groomers

Some image from last night at work. The Gopro Max does amazing stuff. For most of the shots I just Velcro’s the mono pole to the blade and let it run while I worked. #gopromax #gopro #pistonbully #groomerofinstagram #tahoedonnerdownhill #tahoedonnerassociation #truckee #360camera
Does anyone think my goggles are too big? #gopromax #gopro #tahoedonnerdownhill #tahoedonnerskiresort #tahoedonnerassociation #truckee #tahoe #zionorgoggles
Making my way back home sore from head to toe after a full day of snowboarding 🏂 yesterday in Truckee. Made it down some slopes without falling. Still a lot to learn before I start doing flips and tricks, but definitely feel like this was an accomplished weekend. Thank you to kyle__quan & jiselle_loren for teaching us the ropes. S/O to tahoedaves for making our rental experience quick • easy • and simple.
The "atomic bomb cyclone" hit Truckee good. Over 14 hours of solid rain yesterday turning to 2 feet of wet and heavy Sierra cement overnight. Thank you plow services for your efforts early season. Looks like we have the start to a good base this winter!

This is what it looked like at work last night. After a storm brought 20+ inches of fluffy powder to #tahoedonnerdownhill and a bunch of people played in it. It is our job to turn it back into the groomed corduroy that everyone expects when they get to the mountain. It is magic!

Did you know: When viewing an area badly burned by the Donner Ridge fire in 1960, Tahoe Donner founder, Jack Kirby believed the scorched area would be ideal for a downhill ski resort that appeals to beginners and intermediate skies. In 1972, the 220 acre-ski bowl with two double chairlifts along with the Donner Christy Inn day lodge, opened and was hailed as “the new place” to ski.
