    I don’t see this hitting warning levels in most spots, so the advisory makes sense. The 7” thing is a stretch IMO and probably mainly for the highest parts of Parrs ridge.

    Nice to see warning level snow on the ICON

    I've been pretty lucky too, even when I booked further in advance. I remember 2021-22 was a crappy winter out west, but some time in January I had a feeling that the pattern would shift by early March, so that's when I booked my first ever ski trip out west and as soon as I arrived we had multiple powder days at Breck, Vail, and the whole front range. Then came MLK weekend in 2023 at Alta. Last winter you really couldn't go wrong with a trip to Alta at any time, since it just kept snowing constantly the whole season. Same with the Sierra.

    I think it comes with a free trial, and it's definitely worth checking out. It was OpenSnow that helped me realize that Whistler's weather was just so much worse than I imagined - I didn't think it could rain in the alpine in mid-winter but that's what ended up happening with their pineapple express, and the app also showed me the great opportunity in the Sierras, didn't hype it too much but clearly showed that California will have a lot more storms than the Pacific NW once the trough sets up in the west.

    Get the OpenSnow app... it costs some money at $30/year but it gives great forecasts and very detailed writeups on the weather patterns in the big ski areas, and shows how well each ski area is doing. I think booking a trip a few weeks in advance is ideal... the main downside is that it costs more (especially airline tickets), but you have a better idea of the pattern and whether it's favorable for snow chances. If I'm going to travel all the way out west, I want the conditions and the weather to be worth it. So far every trip I've done has delivered.

    I was hoping to go to Whistler, but since it rained so much, I chose Tahoe instead, and I was there from the first of the month until this past Sunday. What a great move it was. Heavenly was not very impressive in terms of conditions (though the lake view was great), but Kirkwood was amazing, and at some point I’ll share the pics I took (in the winter pics thread). Kirkwood ended up with a total of 65” while I was out there, and this wasn’t the stereotypical Sierra cement, it was legit powder much like the Rockies. It was some of the best skiing I’ve ever enjoyed, not quite like Alta last year but close.

    Time to book a March trip to Whistler?

    Maybe it’s just me, but whenever any I-70 north storm is advertised on the models, it seems like the real dividing line ends up being the M/D line
  9. Fozz
    That’s incredible

    1.3” on the board

    8.5" here, and I'm still yet to see anything close to that again IMBY.

    Now it’s coming down for real. Still needs to stick better.

    On the east edge of the band. Light snow with a coating.

    lol… why that far north? He’s gonna get fringed if that’s where he is.

    I saw the R and assumed you were RevWarReenactor

    I have family in Dallas. Flight is booked.

    Yeah and I also imagine the advisories could be expanded into DC. So far I've seen two events with exactly 4.4", and for all I know this could be the third.

    It cracks me up how the 10:1 maps are the weenie maps this time while Kuchera is more realistic.

    I caught the tail end of the Super Bowl yesterday. It was a long day getting back from California, but great game. And congrats Taylor

    Nah, by game time the rug was already being pulled. Some of us were in denial of how badly we'd be fringed, but the writing was on the wall.
  21. Fozz
    That's a huge jump south for this close in. I'll take it!
  22. Fozz
    It’s great to have the RAP and HRRR both on our side, and the NAM is just so, so close!

    I haven’t paid much attention since I just returned yesterday from out west. I was feeling demoralized with the 12z runs, but if the trends are good and people are making Jan 2011 comparisons and elevations above 500’ are in the game, then this has my attention and I hope to see it trend a little colder
  24. Fozz
    Annnnnd here it is. Just in time for the VDay to PD period.
  25. Fozz
    Exactly. In the end I was content in 2007. Also were you in Reisterstown in 2014? Apparently it was a borderline HECS there.
