If even Skidog is skiing the LCC tomorrow I think that's my cue to use a Deer Valley day.
i said it before. I have been driving up that canyon for 10 years, driving either a pathfinder or a tundra. NEVER have i used M+S with snowflake. Always M+S. Never turned around maybe they look at trucks differently? Would be stupid if they did, but hey...UPD so...Quote:

Well that was some dust on rock and fauna today. Always amazed how well we humans can handle adverse conditions without killing ourselves.
Survival, luck, and something else...no wind and light density...ran my routes today slower than I have all year. Too bad we can't collect valley snowfall and distribute it at the upper elevations. Heard there was more snow in the valley than up high.
We can take comfort in knowing that we live in a place that is the most constant for hundreds of miles around. Centered in the west.
And this place will still be standing when other neighbors are living in rain...at least for a while. Something someone can wish on one's kids.
Ummm isn't that showing 7.5 inches?! 😂😂😂Quote:

ZZZ getting deep

Today was pretty fuckin good. Legit thigh deep, right side up blower. I did hit one or two rocks, but no major damage done. Skied east/northeast facing terrain at and above 9000 feet. No instabilities noted but kept it less than 30 degrees other than some small rollovers.

Took a low angle lap behind the house. Desperately trying to stay awake and flip my clock. It was pretty deep on top of a crusty layer. Still lots of twigs down low. Totally worth it.

Snow basin Patrol is Amateur? How?
Cirque opening was delayed due to a dud explosive. Just curious, anybody know how they deal with that? I can't figure it out.
