Got any good weather source links?...I noticed weather.com isn't very accurate at all.
I figured something has to be coming?...Hawaii got bombed with huge waves and now Nor Cal is getting some big waves...there has to be something coming?????
NWS Predictions for Alpine Meadows
Sierra Avalanche Center snow condition report
Intellicast radar loop
NWS readings in Truckee, Alpine Meadows base, Alpine Meadows summit (Ward Peak)
Other info accessible via links from each, and via other resorts' sites -- these are from my bookmarks that I open in tabs when relevant
i'd say go squaw and alpine as they both have a lot facing the sunrise as far as mountains i'd hit; of which nothstar wouldnt be one.
I doubt it'll be that bad. Had a good time at Squaw on Sunday in similar conditions.Quote:

Nothing wrong with N-star, btw. Don't listen to the ignorant.
Go exploring on skiers far-left of Lookout, or cruise Backside Trees. It probably won't be open but Sawtooth Ridge is interestingly "scruffy".
Me & mine plan to be at K-wood on Thursday. For what that's worth.
Enjoy Yaself Nah, y'hear !
Thanks for blowing it for us. :cussing: Jinx !Quote:

I think we're in for a dry spell, sadly.
