I can't tell what it's doin up at Alta .... temps indicate - dare I say - that it could be snowing. And with the NW flow we are sure to git sum tonight.
But, it sure would be nice if DTM got his AC lovin' butt back here; last pow day was when the kid was here.
Anyone wanna take up a pool to buy him a plane tix back?? Might be our only chance at more pow this season.
Is it possible to jinx a rainstorm into becoming something worse?
I sure hope not.
This is unexpected, you were the last person I thought would lose hope this early.Quote:

Trust me...I try everyday to get DTM back here with my uber smoooov ways, but school is important these days.
And the temps are getting cooler...that would be rad if there was some accumulation up there.

Heh, a.c. do you remember that dvd I showed you last time you were here of the college chick that sent her boyfriend web cam movies of her, uh..."dancing?" Be careful with that route.Quote:

I just talked to friends up there, the snow level's been hovering at about 9000 feet all morning, there's about 2" of wet stuff piled up...if you don't mind zero vis, I'm told there are some good turns to be found...:D

P.S. Hope your sis and lil Stevey can keep up ;)
P.S.S. I think I might also lay down a pair of tracks across the street before opening :D
To Whom it May Concern:
I would like to unselfishly state that it has snowed at Alta in feet everytime that I have ever visited there.
I am available to fly in for the weekend from TYS, BNA, or ATL anytime that the Utah Deptartment of Tourism or anyone else would like to purchase me a ticket.
I prefer accomodations at the Peruvian but couch surfing is also acceptable.
Sincerely,
Teledave
anybody up for making turns at Snowbird on Saturday? I have a free lift ticket for those who don't have season passes.....
I was thinking about stopping by the fest at alta and then hitting some turns at the bird. I have a pass.
Just got a VERY bad report from an Alta patroller. Raining up to 10k, heavily. Snowpack is rotten, lots of wet slides. Low Notch completely slid out. Punching through to waist on occasion.
No bueno. Sorry Xover...
:mad: :( :( :mad:
Hmmm...yes, this news blows. I guess it's spring, so i'm not surprised.
We're still skiing tomorrow.
I'm up tomorrow regardless. I haven't skied in a garbage bag in a while. I might wear a Dallas Cowboys Starter jacket too, just to make skiing in the rain that much more enjoyable.
What really sucks is that I just got back from Seattle. I was not expecting to be stuck in the rain HERE too! (It was actually kinda nice in Seattle this week)
Xover, do you have a Starter jacket I can borrow, maybe some rear entry boots???
I was good for 8-10 inches+ at tremblant, and a full weekend of heavy snow at sugarloaf, just imagine what I could do to the west.
lovely ....Quote:

that would explain why I see no tracks on the backside
Yup, it's sunny and 60 here all week with high pressure for the weekend. Sounds more like Utah in the Spring- weird I just moved here from the 'Bird/park silly.Quote:

Really sucks about the rain at Alta. Especially 'cause that is the reliable storm moisture which normally drops a few feet during the first or second week of April every year. Friggin bummer- April storms are usually sweet, but as long as it stays above freezing tonight, could still be good tomorrow.:confused:
Although it may be worth the effort on some Utards part to head to the higher elevations in CO if the storm is tracking that way?
You can haul ass to the 'Boat in 4.5 hours from PC and then another 1.5 to WP/Berthoud. I have a feeling they may get the goods on the storm off the Divide... Fuk, if I was in UT now I'd make the drive.
I'm totally debating it. SHould I ditch work tomorrow and my plans for this weekend, or stay? Ugh. What resorts would be worth hitting.

Sorry, I'm just bitter cause I broke my streak on my last trip out there.
Sandy: Colorado Forecast from 9news.com
I'd guess that Winter Park / Berthoud / ABasin or Loveland will be the places to be this weekend...If I was nearby, that's where I'd place my bets...
The colder weather will likely bring a significant snow event to Denver and the adjacent foothill areas Friday night and Saturday with several inches of wet, heavy snow for lower elevations. Think about protecting tender vegetation outdoors this weekend with the forecast for wet heavy snow and overnight lows in the 20s. Easter Sunday may be cloudy and cold with light snow - tough for early sunrise services and outdoor egg hunts! The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for the Front Range foothills, western suburbs and mountains of northern Colorado for Friday afternoon through Saturday morning.
