    Interesting. It seems like the east side of Washington has done better this year. I’ve also seen some sweet shots of Landslide Gully on Webster tho.

    Ya people have been getting after it in the spots less prone to wind loading and associated instabilities. Before this last storm there was a really nice stable snowpack in many zones. Skiing is just getting started in the alpine.

    Hermit lake and Carter Notch hut at 73” depth. Interested to see the Lake Colden ADK report tomorrow. Turning out to be the best winter in the Whites since at least 2019. Would love to try and come back east and ski Tuckerman later this spring. It seems like Wildcat might have had the best season of any eastern ski area relative to snowfall this year at around ~200 already. 

    There are ski descents happening this year in the whites that haven’t happened since 2019 or earlier. Yale Gully for instance, which we were lucky enough to ski this weekend. As is typical though a lot depends on wind, and there’s been no shortage of crazy wind this season. Dodges did not look filled in at all for some reason and I’m not hearing of many folks skiing ammo or the west side. Wildcat valley trail was as good as I’ve ever skied it two weeks ago, but on that same day the skiing on the frontside was wind blown and not good.

    Had non-accumulating light snow 10-noon, nothing since except the wind exercising the trees, echoes getting farther and farther away from here.  Can't recall ever getting only a trace from a warned storm (forecast here was 5-9) but there's still many hours in which to avoid a first time.

    Same here. Forecast bust?

    Periods of snow, heavy at times at the hill in upslope flow.  Good 3-4” so far today at the ski area.

    This winter is trying hard to redeem itself.

    A lot of -SN obs out there. Looks like locally been running 1-3sm in -SN all day.

    Looks really good for you through Thursday. 12"+ of fake snow incoming.

  5. 10” at the hill, same at home. For the second time this winter, we are buried. To the grip of that ski pole is 36” and I was hitting the crust from before this cycle so it’s deeper. Not bad for a part of NNE that doesn’t do upslope.

  6. 3” at home, already settling. Higher on the hill this morning was closer to 4 or 5” and much better consistency. What a joy to ski powder all week and Saturday looks like another fantastic day on tap. It’s been a while since we’ve had a stretch in this part of NNE and we were due.

    Vein… lol

    i learned to ski on pleasant mountain back in the late 70s when there was a t-bar accross the street. I’m excited for the future now that there looks to be capital backing for much needed upgrades.

    Yes, they have big plans. Will take some time to sort out. It’s such a great little hill, I wouldn’t care if they didn’t change a thing. With that said, change is inevitable and I’ll embrace it.
