Since I haven't skied in like eleventy-billion years, I'm gonna have to head on up for some Powpow!
(edit- but only if it will be a blower storm. none of this warm shit)

The other weather sites are calling for more NOAA's bein real gay like on this one.
Only the San Francisco forecast is a little gay.... :redface:
I'll probably put in an appearance one day or the other.
I'll be in Oooooooootah this weekend. Not that AKA will ever do a run with me anyways.
:(.
I thought i heard someone yell at me at one point, failed to see the red pants though. If it truly dumps I might have to come up for one run to redeem myself on kodak. But if it's going as SuPu says in the inches, I doubt the LZ will be soft enough if I decide to do a repeat of the last attempt.Quote:

I feel the powerful draw inside me even though I can't ski right now. Must see the snow fall one last time b/4 the season is over and make my peace w/ Kirkwood. I'll be staying/partying in SLT this weekend and chilling at Bub's on Sunday if this thing goes down. Stop in for a beer.Quote:

... UNSETTLED WEATHER WITH SNOW IN THE SIERRA THIS WEEKEND...
A PACIFIC WEATHER SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE CALIFORNIA COAST ON FRIDAY... BRINGING MOUNTAIN SNOW AND VALLEY RAIN TO THE SIERRA AND NORTHEAST CALIFORNIA BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON... THEN SPREADING INTO WESTERN NEVADA ON FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY. RAIN AND SNOW IS LIKELY TO CONTINUE THROUGH MOST OF THE WEEKEND... ESPECIALLY IN THE SIERRA. SNOW LEVELS ARE EXPECTED TO START OUT AROUND 6000 FEET FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY THEN LOWER TO 4500 TO 5000 FEET SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL IS POSSIBLE ABOVE 5000 FEET WITH THE HIGHEST SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ABOVE 7000 FEET. TRAVEL COULD BECOME DIFFICULT IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS FROM LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH THIS WEEKEND....
Tonight I called the office and asked them if they could arrange a new passport and a plane ticket to Kirkwood, for myself.
....you'll need a guide that listens to hardcore punk heavy metal thrash bands like minor threat and the dead kennedy's that's also a king derilict, original badboy, Mohican terrorist and star of a low-budget dirtbag ski movie called Maltese Flamingo...
....
Don't forget that he also must listen to Black Flag, shred moguls on DH boards, wear three pastel Izod shirts, with the collars up, must launch his first turns of the morning while everybody else is drinking their coffe and he must ski lines that even Scot Schmidt thinks is a bad idea to ski.Quote:

Bah! Dust on crust I tell ya. It'll be a warm storm
supu, keep the faith brother. this is a classic sierra storm: starts off warm w/snow levels around 6000 feet Fri afternoon, and lowering to lake level by Sat afternoon (4000-5000 ft). comes in high and wet and lays down that nice base, then drops the light pow on top of that....there will be 1-2 feet of new snow by Sat afternoon, more Sat night to freshen things up, and Sun will rock :yourock:
had to add this, 'cause i like the phrase "spring will come in like a lion" hell ya!
