Yeah a bit low on the call. High Road plot did 7” yesterday and 7” on this morning’s reading for 14”. Yesterday’s burst was surprising. The elevated Lookout Snow Cam which runs conservative/low did 4” between 7am and 8am. Looking at the times it looked like it did 1” in like 11 minutes. Board flipped clean at 6:56am on the clock then hit 1” by 7:07am. It hit 2” at 7:20am. Thats some high end snowfall rates.

Just ripping now. Focused on the Mansfield massif.
-
The mountain got smoked. It culminated with 4" in one hour between 7am and 8am this morning. This was one of the heaviest 3 hour periods I can remember.
-
Snowing hard now, after this photo. Ground remained snow covered today. It’s not a lot here in the valley, but a wintry vibe.
-
Nope. Jays haven’t for the past two days. Sox have gone cold.
-
Yeah that was puzzling, it’s cold but there was no other game with a lower start-time temperature in history? They clearly indicated this was the coldest.
-
lol 3,000ft blitzed.
-
We paste.
-
We’ve had some shit days lately though. Snuck in a good one today though. Feels like it’s been two weeks since a sunny day appeared.
-
3,000ft was 61” yesterday (pictured) at the resort’s plot. 3,900ft was 84” at the NWS plot.

Beautiful ski day out there. Sunny and warm.
-
Some snow coming for the mountains over the next 36-48 hours. Spine could do 4-8” during that time?
-
Full sun and 43F here. Decent day.
-
Positive snow depth. Could slush up some spots or lead to a thin white paste. White rain or a white coating possible.
-
I feel like it’s like fertilizer… you get a snow this time of year that melts, the grass tends to go like neon green not long after.
-
Good dichotomy in the landscape this time of year. Winter and spring today. Riding chairlifts to plenty of snow on the hill, while enjoying warmth and late daylight dog walks in the valley.
-
It’s 64/34 at MVL… just huge roaring gusts here. Well mixed and a dry mild right now. Glad we haven’t lost power yet to be honest. The weird thing is the MVL winds are lacking. The terrain around here makes such a difference on mixing and thermals. This morning it was calm at home and gusting 40mph at MVL… now it feels reversed as the wind backs more westerly.
-
Damn. 60 dews.
-
Hail mixed with ZR. This is wild. It is pouring at 31F at 1500ft and 26F at 3,600ft.
-
Thunder sleet for the past hour.
-
Evidently these guys don’t give a f*ck… there’s still (widely) patchy snow on the ground here and just found a tick embedded in my upper back.
-
18F. Its 4F at the picnic tables.
-
I’m not going to lie, the sunny days this time of year get people going. But it is winding down. The spring break vacations have finally ended, a lot of visitors from Florida and the southern states the past 2-3 weeks. The destination guests are far fewer this week and now it’s largely local/regional diehards. Snowpack at elevation is still above normal, but the valleys have melted out again after the recent 7” snowfall down here. Nature’s fertilizer? Or just soggy ground, ha? It’s mud season.
-
Move to higher ground watch… in larger basins than normal.
-
Mixed precip.
