  1. Snow started here a bit ahead of schedule. It’ll be interesting to see how we do. Looks like winds are pretty light so down sloping shouldn’t be much of an issue, and they turn North in the later part of the storm which is ideal for upslope for us. That’s how we got to 48 or so inches in the biggest storm I’ve seen since moving here but mountain weather is always fickle… could go either way
  2. Only made it to -14F here which is pretty common on a good radiational night and quite far from our seasonal low of -29. The fact that it snowed a good chunk of the night probably had something to do with it...
  3. Got it. Thank you PF! Interesting stuff. Looks like we finally cleared out sometime overnight after a few more inches of snow. With all the talk of cold, though, we only got to -14F which is pretty common on a good radiational night and quite far from our seasonal low of -29.
  4. Shouldn’t a front cause short lived snow? It’s been going all day. Not being a weenie, just honestly curious
  5. What’s causing this snow? It lightened up a bit now it’s dumping again
  6. Completely unexpected today, very heavy snow atm!
  7. Wasn’t expecting the snow today. Small tiny flakes but pretty good intensity
  8. 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
  9. That’s quite the gradient around here lol
  10. Looks like a touch of aurora tonight if you really squint
  11. 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.
  12. A surprise couple of inches here, stake up to 13”
  13. A nice overperformer here, stake back to up to 12”
  14. Finally some really nice snow tonight. We’ll see how long it lasts, about an inch so far
  15. Come see the whites. I see them every day and it never gets old
  16. Whatever it is. In December a cloud would drop 4” of upslope. Now we have a disturbance coming through and get a dusting
  17. I’d go back to December in a heartbeat lol. This pattern sucks
  18. 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
  19. Pack down to 9” after the warmup. Temp down to 31/28, gonna be some icy runs today
