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.
I just drove down to Portland today. Its winter at my place meanwhile 15 miles south it might as well be SNE. Not uncommon around here but the contrast is night and day. .
