Wasn't it beyond killer??? The boilerplate anti-suncupped madness was super fun and rad.
I definately underestimated the temperature at 9k. It was 50 and sunny at my house, so I left with thick tights, 3 upper layers, normal mtn biking gloves, and decided on thick hiking socks (but no booties :( ).
At the top the clouds had come in, and it was cold. Hands and Feet were totally numb. The decent would have really hurt!
Boring? I seem to recall coming up on you guys after a runaway snowboard took out one of your charges and snapped her binding. Not so much boring.Quote:

true... that was pretty exciting. that snowboarder ticked me off... he had no business taking off his snowboard and trying to walk down that run that he should never have been on. and of course dropping his board while it was off.Quote:

"If you are looking to get off the trail, the west face of KT is skiing pretty good right now. The snow pack is getting thinner by the day and there is now rock popping up all over the hill. The groomers are doing a good job of covering most of them up, at lest on the high traffic areas but the bottom line is that it is just getting thin. Squaw Valley ski patrol is seeing a disproportionate number of calls for the number of skiers on the hill. This is largely due to the fact that it’s icy and variable out there so ski safe. The skies have been slowly filling with clouds but its not looking like they are going to be dropping any snow on us." from our Squaw valley daily report.

Les Arc was just cancelled....under terms that "Organizers and some local athletes skied the venues this morning only to see that most venues could barely accommodate skiing at all."...unfortunately the scinerio is similar at Squaw...:cussing:

Maybe some light at the end of the tunnel??!?!

With these temps it'll be rain to wash away what little we've got. Here's a special mag-only sneak preview of my next Tahoe TR:Quote:

Last weekend was sick at Squaw! Waist deep down to the Fingers, which were filled in nicely. No traverse cutting through the landing area. Take off... feel the speed... landed softly as if I never left the air, heard the hollers from the chair lift. Repeat. Solid.
Oh wait... that was last night dream... :(
No, it's going to get blocked by a dick named Rex, whole will push it up to canada, then bring it back home to the great plains in a week.Quote:

BY SPRING, WARMING HIGHER LATTS WILL MOST LIKELY BREAK UP THE HUDSON BAY ANCHOR AND WEAKEN WEST COAST RIDGE FOR BENIFICAL PRECIP, ESPECIALLY IF THE RATE OF THE DECAY OF THE POSITIVE PHASE ENSO CONTINUES.
FOR THE NEXT 5 DAYS....IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE VERY COLD EAST OF THE ROCKIES.... AND MILD OUT WEST......THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT WEAKENING OF WEST COAST RIDGE LATER NEXT WEEK AS AN EASTWARD SHIFT IN THE HUDSON BAY LOW CREATES SOME OPENING OF THE WAVE LENGTH AND ALLOWS ((((THE CHANCE-NOT CERTAIN)))) FOR SOME WARM ADVECTION TYPE SNOWFALL IN THE HIGH COUNTRY ABOUT THE 8TH THROUGH THE 12TH. I WILL SAY, THAT WELL OUT IN THE PACIFIC, THERE ARE SEVERAL "LARGE STORMS" CONNECTED WITH GOOD SUBTROPICAL TAPS. SO IF THE UPPER WEST COAST RIDGE DOES WEAKEN ENOUGH, THERE IS A LOT OF MOISTURE THAT CAN MOVE ON IN. THIS COULD BRING SIGNIFACANT SNOWFALL IF IT OCCURS......HOWEVER, IT WOULD NOT REFLECT A CHANGE IN THE OVERALL DROUGHT PATTERN. AS IN MY OPINION, THE UNDER PINNING FORCING FOR THE CURRENT PATTERN IS GLOBAL AND NOT SYNOPTIC
Let's start rubbing those balls!Quote:
