6" of the lightest density stuff I've seen in a while on my porch at 8000'

was it overnight or was it the 24 hour total? It snowed all day at vail yesterday.

Pure white dust.....very low moisture content, just dust. Most would have been after 4pm yesterday.

That's what I was trying to ask above. Bummer...sounds like it may have been good. If I had any thought it was a possibility for 8", I would have gotten up earlier than 7:30 and been up there today.

8" up top was conservative. Some of the lowest density blower I have ever skied there and finally on a decent base. I even took a quick karma break and found someone's really purty Iggie.

Nice. BC under-reported their 6" this AM, but the trees are still a little dicey until the base piles up more.

is outer mongolia beat? was the sun out to sun bake all of it? Should I drive up there from Boulder for turns tomorrow? UGGGGHHHHH I hate missing the pow days.

Vail was good today.

[rometheworld]

I was riding untouched lines at vail today until close. Powder days during the week are too good. And i don't thing Mongolia is open yet. Nothing is baked right now, snow at least.

Without pix this is worthless.

there's a point where you go from helpful information to worthlessness. You are correct - we've reach that point without some pics.

I saw that 8" this morning and slowly went to work and tried not to think about it. Next year I keep telling myself, next year.
