What’s causing this snow? It lightened up a bit now it’s dumping again
-
Completely unexpected today, very heavy snow atm!
-
Wasn’t expecting the snow today. Small tiny flakes but pretty good intensity
-
Squalls are here. Yikes
-
Sadly, that’s a LONG time away for us. But yeah would be nice to have some good storms. Even nicer to have days and days of upslope
-
Love that blob hanging over my head
-
I thought winter was over…
-
That’s quite the gradient around here lol
-
A bit stronger now
-
Looks like a touch of aurora tonight if you really squint
-
Could be worse. Get a few days of upslope in there and it’d look pretty good. I mean, we weren’t supposed to get much of anything this weekend and we got almost half a foot.

A nice overperformer here, stake back to up to 12” -
Finally some really nice snow tonight. We’ll see how long it lasts, about an inch so far
-
Come see the whites. I see them every day and it never gets old
-
Whatever it is. In December a cloud would drop 4” of upslope. Now we have a disturbance coming through and get a dusting
-
I’d go back to December in a heartbeat lol. This pattern sucks
-
Doesn’t surprise me. Your base area gets stronger upslope flow and less down sloping during the warmups we’ve had. Our pack never gets as substantial as even the Mg Washington Valley because of the effect of these torches
-
Pack down to 9” after the warmup. Temp down to 31/28, gonna be some icy runs today
-
It’s nice to be home
-
Starting to make my way back home. Can’t get over how gorgeous the Alps are. Picture taken at Fort La Redoute right on the Italy/France border at 7900 ft, with Mt Blanc in the background (La Thuile/La Rosiere ski area)
-
That’s where I am (Val d’Aosta). The amount of snow is good, but there’s been some pretty good freeze thaw cycles so it’s pretty much cement. There’s some pretty cool spots of very very deep stuff along downwind ledges, but I skied into La Rosiere on the French side today and it was quite thin there with some grass showing on some trails.
-
Not a ton of snow in the Italian Alps (and quite icy) but gorgeous day and scenery. Cool to be able to ski back and forth from Italy to France.
-
Happy to report that the ski trails fared the storm really well. Even all natural terrain and glades are still in good shape with some decent powder stashes from the few inches we got overnight.
