folks around here do it on the ice at night and hop out with the AR like it’s Nam lol. I don’t hunt but appreciate folks like yourself doing your part to help manage wildlife. I’ll stop before i get told to take it to banter.
It’s industry wide. Records set across NE over the last 2 weekends. The demand has never been higher which I think speaks to a hangover effect from COVID demand on outdoor access and the marketing strength (especially social media) of the outdoor industry as a whole. Everyone wants to be like their favorite instagram influencer. Season pass sales have been very strong from what I’m told and the value of an epic or ikon pass is still very good for your average 5-10 day a year skier.
Biggest harvest since the 50s this year. IFW biologists must be happy. Gonna have to deal with the coyotes next, not enough people hunting them. Cougars and wolves would help.
Nice qpf signal for the favored spots in NNE over the next 4 days. Some might see another 6-12”? Ensemble means are snowy through the end of the period as well. Nice to see things rolling along as they should in the heart of the season.
Awesome bit of history, thanks for sharing. Truly a winter of yore. Thanks to our obscene obsession with tort law they cancel school now if it's cloudy.
6.5” I actually wished for a moment I lived in SNE cause that stuff was as bad to deal with as anything I’ve seen. Normally I can do my removal in an hour but this morning it took closer to 3. Snowbanks around here are massive!
23, mod to hvy snow, 2.5". Gonna really need to pound next 3-4 hrs to hit low end of forecast. 0z NAM products bring the midlayer warmth in faster than 18z. Curious what I find in the morning, but it's deep deep winter out there right now.
The upslope machine has really been missing this winter for you guys. This system looks really good for northern areas of the spine from bush/Mrg to points north.
Ya I may have jumped the gun with remark yesterday about southern areas opening up systems. Even the clubs here are limited in what they can groom because ground is soft and water bars are everywhere.
Just got back from skiing and measured 10”. Some of the areas that hadn’t been skied since before the last storm skied very deep, one of the deepest days we’ve had around here in a while. 17.5” since Friday. What a difference 4 days make. .
wish more mountains would take the saddleback/mrg approach of dropping ropes at the earliest opportunity. Ski patrol culture has something to do with it and in my experience the patrol at saddleback are skiers. A lot of other patrols are first responder types first, skiers second. Not taking shots at patrols, just an observation.
insane, no wonder they pitch those rooves so steeply. I like powder skiing as much as the next guy/girl, but not sure I would want to deal with that as a homeowner.
