One more thing, I am in LOVE with something called INTERLODGE. I adore it. The only thing I like more than interlodge, is the snow itself, especially when it is deep, getting blown around by 100 mph Sierran windfields, and coming down at highly excessive rates, with Brobdingnagian sized aggregates.

The incoming Nino will be unprecedented. I want to be DROWNED in rain in Texas for seven years, I demand a total californication of Buda in terms of too much rain and I want Palisades to get 2000 inches of snow in one season. I'd like to see all the western ski resorts get punked out with 2000 inches of snow all up and down the western seaboard! I want to watch Will Paden get all punked out from digging his shack on KT-22 out of meters of snow covering it, MULTIPLE TIMES in 23-24. poor Paden could barely handle the digging THIS SEASON!. I think the snow digging handled Paden. He's on the Palisades ski patrol lol.

I am really, REALLY bummed out right now. Help! Palisades is melting! Its 47 degrees there right now and the snowpack has gone down a whole foot already! It'll be GONE by May 10!

Can not resist, because I know all too well you will surpass Texas in rainfall, but right now Dale City is 7.40 for the year and Buda is 10.40 for the year!

Happy Easter everyone!

700 INCHES OF SNOW AND COUNTING! You have got to have a look at this Palisades blog if you truly love snow! There are some truly ICONIC pics in there, as they share with us a wonderful season of Decemburied, Januburied, Februburied and March Buried as well! I am stoked! They are stayin' OPEN thru JULY FOURTH!! https://blog.palisadestahoe.com/general/700-inches-of-snow-and-counting/

Unbelievable! Wow that reminds me of another place I adore so much: Atlantic Canada! Wow they are showing the Palisades up! uh-oh........

Looks like someone removed the developing drifts, but there is no denying the Sierra Cordilleran windfields! That wind is just piling up more fluffy Palisades snow! https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams

You should visit Texas sometime, its been spring down here for a while, sweet smelling flowers everywhere and you should see our Texas Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrushes!

Thats a fun pic!

A new three foot drift has formed on the 8200 foot level at Palisades! Wind is really blowing that new snow all over the place! People are really gonna be shredding pow pow today on the slopes! Gonna be a lot of great stashes to be found! As of 1103am PST - this is a later edit - There are now dual drifts, I repeat , there are now two 3 foot drifts on the 8200' level, Snow is pouring down at Palisades and the drifts are building as the wind piles the snow up, and a lot more of the snow is coming down! https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams Palisades really is a snow lovers' Paradise! Its a massive wet dream snowgasm! That wind is gusting blowing my precious all over the platform, filling my heart with gladness! This place is definitely Heaven for me. I WUB that blowing snow so much! I love Palisades Tahoe with all my heart.

Don't look now but it is SNOWING HARD, again at Palisades Tahoe! https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams They are gonna pile on another 6 inches!

Wow Mammoth Lakes snow pics!!! I'd love to go up there and show those people how to dig snow! https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/other/mammoth-lakes-california-breaks-all-time-snowfall-record-photos/ss-AA19ua1F#image=2 SKI IT. BOARD IT. DIG IT.

Check out the snow on those terrain parks at Palisades! https://blog.palisadestahoe.com/conditions/apr-5th-terrain-parks-firing-for-spring/ I'd LOVE to 'board those! All that white snow, with an excellent 228 inch base, solid right thru June at least! WOW I wub Palisades Tahoe so much! SKI IT, BOARD IT, DIG IT! Where else you gonna go?

I loved the OBX when I still lived back East.

You wanna see snow, you know where to go! Palisades Tahoe! They are gonna get 6 more inches of snow tomorrow! https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams

Its a plane hop away and a rental car drive. The deep snows at Palisades are waiting for you! The base at Upper Mountain is 231 inches deep! Breathe in some fresh snowy mountain air! Revel in the thrilling REAL mountain snowfall, as you happily watch the winds blow that snow into drifts! Stroll around and soak in the exhilaration of a near record snow season at Palisades! Soar in the chairlifts and ski deep stashes of pristine pow! Shred those slopes with your very own skis or snowboard! Pretend to lose your balance, roll in the deep fresh powder and revel in real pristine snowpack! You haven't LIVED until you immerse yourself in the glorious winter wonderland known as Palisades Tahoe!

Love that place too! I'd dig them right out of that snow!

Damn I miss Tahoe so much! I loved all that deep drifted pristine snow! I rolled in it like a little kid, took many deep deep breaths of fresh snowy mountain air that smelled like Victory! I reveled in the excitement of real fresh mountain snowfall and lows in the upper single digits! I happily watched that wind blow that fluffy Palisades snow into beautiful drifts! I miss Tahoe so damn much! I am not much of a skier, but I loved the look of freshly corduroyed ski trails. No way was I gonna go off piste after that near miss with a tree well! I happily jebwalked in the village and gaped at the humongous Brobdingnagian piles of snow! They told me they will be open past Fourth of July, at least! I was so happy I thought my heart would burst for pure joy! FOR REAL SNOW, the Place to Be, aint the Great Lakes or the Northeast. Forget Jay Peak. I am GLAD I wasnt raised Jay! It is any of the Western ski resorts that are THE PLACE TO BE FOR REAL SNOW! These resort destinations, such as Palisades Tahoe, Bear Valley, Mammoth Lakes, Alta, Utah and many others, are the place to be for real deep snows! It stays COLD and the snow just piles up! It's world class skiing well into the Spring! Atmospheric Rivers simply PILE ON the snow FEET DEEP! One thing I personally observed at Palisades, and have seen many many times on the high resolution webcams, is how those Sierran winds just pile snow into drifts! They clear the 8200' level platform off, the WIND piles the fluffy Palisades snow right back up on the platform! That place, is definitely a snow lovers' wet dream come wonderfully true! The snow is glorious and so are the cold temps! That wind just blows snow all over the place! I was so happy about it, I nearly cried tears of pure rapturous JOY!! I miss Palisades so damn much. All that fresh, deep snow! All the wonderfully corduroyed ski trails! Just gotta try to stay away from those accursed tree wells! Off piste is for experts only! The Ski Patrol is tired of snow, I'd gladly dig out KT-22 for FREE, all by myslef! With a Jebman Shovel! I dont ever get tired of snow! I crave more! I'd happily and lovingly dig out KT-22 with a shovel then be there early the next morning, Jebman Shovel in hand, all ready to dig 'em out again after yet another atmospheric river of torrential snow!

That is SERIOUS, SERIOUS business. I daydream a LOT. Cant be doing that in the mountains. Thats how people get seriously injured or end up dead. Gotta remember that. Those western ski resorts are a completely different world from south central Texas. I got back and its 89/73 here in Buda, I am sweating a ton and disgusted, had to do some digging of a different sort here in Texas, water line broke, damn donkey chewed it up. I'm TIRED of summer already! I love that deep snow and super cold weather so much! I wish I could LIVE there! Its hot, its humid, and I am coughing up my lungs thanks to oak pollens. The air was so clean and crisp and fresh in Tahoe and the entire world was so white and wide and deep! Oh, hot Texas with an early summerlike onset UGH!

One thing I have GOT to learn to do is FOCUS. This aint south central Texas. I was walking around, daydreaming about a monster 15 foot week long snowblitz here at Palisades, chuckling about all the ski patrol having to dig all the chairlifts out of the snow, all while I watch them, while shoving popcorn into my face, along with a terminal payload of rich butter, and damn near almost fell right into a snow well. I was very fortunate, I just managed to catch myslef in time! You fall in a snow well with a tree in it, chances are you get injured and no one finds you til the summer! Snow wells form around trees as the snowpack settles and tends to pull away from the tree, and as frackin DEEP as this pack is, I'd be a frozen goner in no time. I got shaken up but good, I KNOW that was a near death experience and I went back in the damn village. I'll kick back safely at the bar and daydream about improbable 100,000 year mega blizzards here at Palisades. The clouds are interesting to look at as they go by, some of them BELOW me lmao! Too bad I didnt get to see a flake today. Maybe tomorrow.

I finally decided to splurge the little savings I have, on seeing Palisades before Spring springs in a couple of weeks. This is Jebman, Reporting to you LIVE from Palisades Tahoe! I will be enjoying the snow here the next couple days, they will be getting 6 inches Sunday and Monday! 1) It was a BASTARD trying to DRIVE a rental from Reno to Palisades. The roads are a NIGHTMARE up here, one frackin' lane! Dont these people even know how to plow snow? The berms are unbelievable! It is snowing and COLD AS FOOK! Its supposed to be around 20 degrees but it feels like 30 below, especially with that NASTY WIND! I was chanting WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW and blasting ELO songs at high volume! 2) I have not set foot in a snow region in five years. I am so excited, I tried to walk up to High Camp at 8200 feet, from the Village, at 6000 feet. These people dont appreciate jebwalks. I almost got arrested by one Ben Leech, I think he might be the director of ski patrol operations, he caught me trying to sneak up to High Camp while he was grooming the slopes with a snowcat! I came THIS CLOSE to going to jail! He damn near ejected me from the Resort! That son of a bytch did NOT like me trying to hide from his snowcat! I wanted High Camp so bad at night, I could TASTE it! 3) There is NO FRACKIN' AIR up here! I am an older man now, and I huff at sea level in south Texas. Up here even at village level, at 6200 feet, I damn near need supplemental oxygen! LMAO, I dont think I am going to be any good in a REAL mountain jebwalk lol! Man I AM an old man! My stepdad Ken needed supplemental oxygen at 78 years old, not frackin' 59! 4) Yardsticks are no good here! The damn snow is too damn deep! I kicked back with my headphones blasting ELO songs in a state of near bliss in Heaven at all the HUGE, Brobdingnagian snowbanks all around the Resort! Man it is so damned COLD up here! There's a HUGE difference between 87/70 in Buda and 20/14 with a nasty WIND blowing dry snow around! People are boggling at me looking out the window at the falling snow in the lights like I have never seen snow before! LOL I dont think I am even gonna be able to sleep tonight! The enormity of actually BEING in such a snow filled location is just STAGGERING! I want to show these folks how to dig snow! Maybe tomorrow!

I am glad I dont live in Tornado Alley. I live in Drought Alley instead, and we are on track for record drought again this year.

I love those rivers SO MUCH! I wish Palisades and Mammoth and Alta and Bear Valley could have 17 MORE in April. I wub deep snow and watching vids of people slaving away trying to dig chairlifts and HOUSES out of meters of snow! Nothing gladdens my heart more! Something like that would merit about ten thousand Bob Chill FACES!
