Not holding my breath. Maybe pucci and bruno will be open at T-line and maybe daisy at Meadows. Highly doubt it though.Quote:

Please elaborate on why you think daisy might be runningQuote:

SundaySnow, mainly before 4pm. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 25. Breezy, with a west wind 17 to 22 mph, with gusts as high as 31 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of 5 to 9 inches possible.
Gonna head up and see for myself just for kicks, but the cams sure as F make it look more like 1-4” than 9-13.

Drove up to Bachelor to see what's what. Was snowing and blowing in the parking lot.

Storm underperformed, but maybe it will make up for it later on.

I know that no one cares are gives a crap that I did the Cone today. And the snow was good enough and the legs felt decent enough for a 2nd lap.

I can also confirm that you can ski to the "road" or parking lot if you so desire.

Hopefully things stay cold enough to preserve the snow and for Bachy to make some snow for opening.
I was tempted to try a walk but only saw an inch or two at midday
Leeway and cone were actually pretty fun. Better than expected given the lack of new. No ptex/edge injuries.

Oh... I'm not saying it will... specially after the lackluster precip #s.Quote:

That little fucking spanish boy. Fuck him.
Could end up the strongest since it was initially observed.Quote:

I’ve been planning a trip to Jackson in February, but maybe I should take my own advice and follow the historical snow fall of an El Niño winter. This is a good map, as its snow fall above or below average. Brown - all the PacNW and NW Wyoming - and blue - SW Colorado, the Sierra, Utah. Always felt that’s part of the beauty of SLC. I think it does well in both.

Take a closer look at that strong El Niño map, Wasatch is below average but Southern U is above! How about redirecting to Mammy or Taos? Mammy can be a junkshow but the touring access in the area is so good.Quote:

Below average is probably still good enough 😀Quote:

Never skied Mammoth or Big Bear, but can’t say they’re on my shortlist either. Maybe Telluride or Crested Butte. But, CB can get both northern and southern tracked storms, but it can also get missed by both.
Let’s hope we open.Quote:

From the looks of the Bachy Pine Martin cam, they have been blowing some snow. I hear it's good for the base.
Mammy has a decent amount for the family, not as happening as Bend but you can do stuff like towing that ski trailer of yours on groomed trails along the lakes and below some rad touring terrain, ice skating when there is no new snow, and the town shuttle/gondola service is handy if you can trade/negotiate some hours of kid/partner free time to go bang out hot laps on Chair 23 while still leaving the vehicle with partner and kid. Not as sustained steep as LCC but much steeper than Flatchelor. Worth putting on the short list!Quote:

Glove refresh
There's no date. It's still called Bachelor Butte Skie Area
SW area of that map is pretty open
What year? I guess 1980

Good base, just need a foot plus to get things rolling. That's not too much to ask, right?
Attachment 477306
^^^Not much to ask at all. Less than a month to official winter
It’s the east side that looks particularly sparse. A wasteland east of Pilot ButteQuote:

That’s good information. I will consider it. I’m sure it’s a beautiful spot. I’ve spent little time north of there in the Sierra in the summer months. Might end up just doing a bachelor trip for a few days to escape and just ski. I got some friends in SLC so that would be the obvious answer.Quote:

Temps start dropping Monday pm & stay low for awhile. I'll take anything right now. Congrats to the couple.
