Best of luck dude.

We got boned a lot of last week.

Going for the +1 up here… 68F and mostly sunny. It is a gorgeous Saturday finally.

What a morning.

It is absolutely filthy with a winter worth of debris on it.

Melting rapidly.

Half an inch leading to more soggy ground.

The afternoon turned out surprisingly nice. It’s always crazy to ski when it’s that mild and humid. Snowpack crying for its mama. This outta help, ha.

We’ve hit 75F for a max so far. Finally gotten in on the fun.

Midday Monday will probably be a chilly wake up call.

It’s rugged. We’ve taken an absolute beating this week, though I’ve heard we still have better coverage than most. Lost 8” of glacial depth in the past 48 hours and that starts to matter when the snowpack gets down there. Still, Nosedive, Hayride and intermediate stuff was fun today. Hopefully patrol can keep Liftline and National going. Snowpack hasn’t had a freeze in like 4 days and have 4 more to go before Sunday night’s temps.

That is impressive.

Honestly that one wasn’t directed to you or our exchanges. It felt like good natured banter. Jealous of the warmth… 54F here. Mild but feels dreary.

Great example of funny, yet respectable, responses. We should be able to call each other out on our bullshit without dismissing data outright.

Yeah it was quite a run! Down to 44” today At 3,000ft. Lost 8” in 48 hours with these dew points and rain. This what 304” looks like on April 15th. Below average but it is a meticulously observed 304” and the resulting base depth is 44”. Higher up it is a bit more snow/depth at the Co-Op stake (closer to 4kft), but 3kft is a nice even upper elevation band for a seasonal sample. Nice inversion out there this AM though.
