Never really had a good coastal where I snuck in the goods while guys further north were sucking cirrus. I don’t think he was questioning the validity just that it is a lot of snow for such a crappy winter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmcginvt Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 you should see when ducks and geese land in our pond, man this dog just goes nuts. I dont hunt ducks or geese but the dog alerts us to them always on it. IT would literally be shooting ducks/geese in a pond not fair 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lava Rock Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 And one more thing: I friggin hate these late season stat padders. this winter sucked donkey balls. But with these late season events, it makes it look more respectable. Do Not Want. I was at like 38” 3 weeks ago, all of a sudden I’m in the 50’s. This is bullshitLol, I feel the same.

I do remember him posting about some streamer/upslope type scraps like you mentioned a number of times. It's obviously not prime upslope country, but good enough to get some leftovers? Certainly closer to the source region of orographic type snows than Gene would be. But, I am just spit balling and he would obviously know more than me...ha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Ha. 2.8”/0.42” in the last core…all snow crystals. Probably some 32° compaction in there, but growth sucked too. Was at 11.8” before I started snow blowing. Must be at an even foot by now. 32.0° -SG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 1 hour ago, CoastalWx said: Correct It’s been sneaking up. Measured 278” now at the consistent 3,000ft level. That’s really about average. Before we started measuring and verifying snowfall in the same location, the ski area averaged 330”. After I started bringing some real accountability and being diligent (no optimistic estimates based on a deep pocket), our average is more around 280”. This year is now at that level. And considering the amount of major melts, the snowpack on the hill has been decent. I’ll have to run the numbers, but I think we are around 100” of snowfall in the past month up there. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that isn’t the official snow measurement for Mansfield right? Or is the official measurement for Mansfield just the daily snow stake reading? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 14 minutes ago, CoastalWx said: But that isn’t the official snow measurement for Mansfield right? Or is the official measurement for Mansfield just the daily snow stake reading? There is no official snow measurement for Mansfield. It is done by agents of the ski area. Only the settled “Stake” depth is an independent NWS reading via camera. If anyone says Stake up here, everyone knows it’s that depth one off the Toll Road. I’m all for the science of the mountain… some call it transparency but I know I am in a position to create comparable data, not just estimates. It is what it is, and I like that approach. We try to provide reliable snowfall totals to the masses, and even report rainfall. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys should make all that snowfall data at 3K public. Maybe you already do, but I think you said you guys keep it on file. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent snow still...28 degrees. I can’t get any models because of the internet, so don’t know what latest runs look like, but just staying like this all night puts us 25-30 range for first chair.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwt3650 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 One last deep day of the season?I’d say last deep one. Jay has already committed to may 5th, maybe longer, so not sure id go 100 percent last powder day..it’s been a crazy year.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Jay’s late closing always opens up the possibility… it’s bound to snow again, but this one has been fun. Overall, this is only 750ft but it just keeps snowing wet paste here. Over 15” here in the valley is a big storm. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
