It really seems that way.

I also saw a pretty big avy off Zuma cornice in A-Basin (looking at the webcam). The wind has really done a number on most above treeline terrain in the ten mile and along the divide.

I wouldn't be surprised if this current NW to northern rocky mountain flow shuts off in 2 weeks and everything shifts somewhere completely differently. These erratic patterns are wreaking havoc on our snowpacks and nothing seems normal any longer.

Things now seem to go from one extreme to another.

I think you just described CO weather in general. It's pretty much all extremes where a few big storms during the season could make all the difference between having an above normal or below normal snowpack for the year...continental vs. maritime snowpack. I think the only weather in CO that is semi-consistent is the summer monsoons.

Another 3-5 days of mild temps and sun here in MT. Mountain biking on tap for tomorrow.

Some recently posted images on the CAIC website. The locations are pretty obvious and the slides look massive.
