Dweebus was a stunningly pleasant surprise this morning. Felt like Tahoe.... cold, dry snow, sun. Super fun.
You going back up this week? We're planning on Wed-Fri.Quote:

No one works anymore. Or, everyone is "multi-tasking" while waiting to load up.Quote:

SAR called to a snowmobile avalanche from Salmon La Sac area. Seems likely it will add to the toll of a rough week+ in the mountains.
So, if it wasn’t clear...Stevens was a four flake day on the Buster scale. They never opened Double Diamond/Souther Cross yesterday. When it finally opened, it was crazy deep and almost Utah quality snow. Lots of face shots of cold smoke Pow. There was still lots of stashes at 3 pm when we finally called it. From 1 pm on, most lifts were ski on...people got the backside Pow and then left...and left lots of Pow for this of us who skied until our legs were gassed. Probably my best day of the year so far.
Nice! Way to get that convergence zone stuff.Quote:

I've never even heard of snow biking. Is this a mechanized sport?
Basically a snow mobile downsized to dirt bike size. Think dirt bike vs. quad, but snow versions.Quote:
