    Just an amazing powder cycle from this latest storm.

    And this was at noon today... added a real nice thick blanket to the mountain. Best day of skiing this season for me. Who knew this storm would continue to produce so much. The skiing from this storm is insane up high. Just knee deep trenches. Thick snow though, perfect with lots of small little flakes packing in tight.

    Man, its like the energizer bunny. Still ripping snow at the ski area (boxed area). Roads are white down in town again but nothing like what's happening up at 1,500ft there.

    Just getting crushed. High Road Stake showing 13” storm total. Another 4” fell today. Low ratio graupel and small flakes. What a QPF dump on the mountain. Skis very deep.

    Seems like even in NNE it’s losing faith. I fear we may lose Alex one of these days from the NNE thread too. I’m positioning myself in the snow pocket for as long as possible, tucked in under the Spine at 1,500ft to enjoy winter. It’s getting increasingly hard to find these havens of winter refuge. I half expect Pickles to stumble out from under an evergreen fort he’s been living in.

    Awesome upslope paste event still in progress over here at 1,500ft! We’ll try to send some your way. This has added some decent QPF as these ratios are under 10:1 wet snow. Base of the ski resort is a winter wonderland. A bunch more snow once above that 2-2.5kft elevation.

    Holy shit! You only have 6” at 1500ft? I have 6” at 750ft and there’s 18-19” at your same 1,500ft at the ski area. Mountain picked up another 6” in the last 24 hrs from the upslope burst last night and it’s still snowing...total of 8” so far from the entire event as of 11:30. Finally getting winter momentum going again.

    It's so far away in time frame. It could be a weak wave on a FROPA or a coastal hugger up into SNE (or worse). It's a long way out in the grand scheme of things. Not even worth looking at for another couple days.

    When the snow just won't shut off. This round seems to be finally tapering off after a drawn out ending. Inversion height, flow and moisture seem just right for downwind of Mansfield tonight. I'm just NW of the village center marker.

    It's been snowing nicely this evening. Roads were snow covered but slick... folks may hate on the upslope at times, but it keeps snow going when there are no real storms in sight. Wet snow still...sticking to every little branch. Mountain has had several inches since 4pm.

    Reason for the change?
  12. powderfreak
    Enough to be above normal snow for the next decade, lol.

    Some terrain enhanced snow coming our way through Tuesday morning.... 18z EURO... 18z GFS goes gang-busters.
  14. powderfreak
    Ha it works. It’s odd to hear news and not see it on Twitter.
  15. powderfreak
    Yeah saw that ten minutes ago and thought it was false because no one else reported it. Now it’s on Twitter. Damn.

    Hey at least when you get rain, the mountains have a shot at snow . You know it’s been bad when a 1-3” scrapper would be a win.
  17. powderfreak
    3 vehicles in your yard...sounds like the rural hill towns for sure. One on cinder blocks?
  18. powderfreak
    Yup that’s what I found. It gets that wet packy weird snow below 2,000ft where your skis sort of do their own thing lol. It’s an odd surface. But up high is great. Really fantastic in the woods. That dense snow gives a nice buffer in the Glades.
  19. powderfreak
    It’s been snowing steady paste at the mountain. Only about an 1” today so far but I bet it’s under 10:1 ratio. Pacific NW style stuff. White rain down in town. Mountain dodged a huge bullet... never rained above 1,200ft or so. About 3” of cream cheese skiing today.
  20. powderfreak
    That -42/-51 day is really special.
  21. powderfreak
    That’s the ideal solution for hitting the center of the forum geographically...SW through NE jackpot with less SE and NW.
  22. powderfreak
    Holy crap Gene. I'm so sorry you are going through that. That's insane that pneumonia can do that. Best of luck and will be thinking of you.
  23. powderfreak
    I doubt it’s all rain though. Wet snow/ZR for the higher terrain is my bet. Won’t crack freezing up high on east slope.
  24. powderfreak
    Been a crazy variable winter up this way using the MVL 30-year records... November was fantastic at -6.1 departures and some winter events to start the season. December was +0.6 and then January has been +6.0. That's incredible to me... having two months close by at -6 and +6.
  25. powderfreak
    That is insane. Great video of them just loading yards with snow. Need that lane open...what a storm.
