question. whats the snow like up top of bcc, guardsman pass area anyone

12''-18" firm, supportable base with 2" of fresh on top.

[basinbum]

does anyone wanna go do some hiking tomorrow around wolvie or some sled skiing on guardsman??? anyone

[wra]

Cap this



with another rain-rime crust.
Sled skiing on guardsman?

[Tri-Ungulate]

Sled skiing on guardsman?

You know wra... for those looooong-ass approaches to get to the goods.

[basinbum]

i just wanna take the damn thing out its pissin me off.. it just stares at me every day

[Telekóptero]

to hell with all this. i spotted 1 1/4" (possibly even 1 1/2") of dank uberfresh crustomatic up on gobbler's from mill creek. it's gonna be freaking epic tomorrow.

Heh heh, WOW's snow profile with the TH billboard in the background is truly special. I think the linework in the billboard design is actually pertty cool. Photoshop plugin or actual engraving?

It's raining here in PC, hopefully it's falling in a more solid state somewhere not too far up.

just scoped the snowbird snowcam... somethin is comin down up there i pray it isnt rain

[Nathan Explosion]

Last three to four frames of the SnowCam have a small but appreciable accumulation. Probably 3/4 of an inch.

Meh, might as well rain and start over now.

Observation from the skilift(for Skifishbum)
It's windy with flat light.
There was some slush in the parking lot.
Sunshine bowl is off the hook.

[skifishbum]

Thanks bro I don't suppose you could dig a pit and display the data over a picture of Stein from the new Crackberry yet Could ya?

[The Gnarwhale]

4mm breakable on all aspects @ 10420. 2-3" of wind deposited on top of the shiny crust in sheltered areas.

How was the upper reaches of the the Cottonwoods today? I want to get out for b-day tour tomorrow if there's snow worth skiing.

[Nathan Explosion]

No real snow data, stayed inbounds for the 3 or so hours I was out. Tons of soft fun snow off of Gad II at Snowbird. What was untracked had a little bit of a crust on it, but was still quality skiing IMO.

[Tri-Ungulate]

Hey Nate. You can keep your "I checked out the webcam then rode the lifts today at Snowbird and there was snow on the ground" observations on your own dumbass thread. No need for even more redundantly useless dribble from you.

Thaaaanks.

Those are some real quality observations. Are you done stalking me yet?

[Trackhead]

This thread, and 99.9% of TGR, is useless........and will probably be deleted soon.

[SendingMT]

The last 4 days we have been getting a couple of inches each day of wet snow/grappel at the Bird. With this snow and the condition of the snow that was leftover from the early November dump I am a little worried about further avalanche danger once we get new snow.

Anyone been in the BC lately? What did you see and what is your predictions?

True, some of this thread is useless (see above) but it is useful to have some additional salient observations from folks over here who don't post on wra's thread over there. Plus, there's some nice stoke every once and awhile that comes out of this, just like the rest of TGR. No need to kill the thread, it's one of the bright spots on TGR, especially now that the S/N ratio is decreasing as the board is being overrun by useless JONGs.

Check it out. Now we're tied for useless posts on this page.

Unrelated, but this sounds promising from NOAA:

A RIDGE EARLY DURING THE WORK WEEK BREAKS DOWN AS THE COMPACT
PACIFIC SYSTEM APPROACHES FROM THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST MONDAY NIGHT.
MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE TRACK OF THE SYSTEM...WITH ONLY
MINOR TIMING DIFFERENCES. HAVE THUS INCREASED POPS WITH THE
CONTINUITY TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. THE SPEED OF THE SYSTEM
SHOULD PRECLUDE IT FROM PRODUCING SIGNIFICANT SNOWS...BUT
ACCUMULATING SNOWS IN THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS SEEMS LIKELY.

I'll take any kind of accumulating that isn't rain, and agreeing models always cheers me up, especially when they've been at odds on storms for like two weeks. Ungulate, are you ready to bury the hatchet, or what?

Please stop posting, I am not here to flame you. But am kindly asking that you keep your observations to yourself. Thanks.

[The Gnarwhale]

Jesus, you all are angsty. Even by TGR standards. Sure delete the thread, whatever. It'll be the same next go round, and same as the thread on TTips- 90% bullshit and 10% useful.

Soooo....does the rain/rime crust go to the peaks in LCC? Comm'on! Somebody throw down a bit of that 10%

[basinbum]

not tryin to fill this with shit, it is useful at times, anyone wanna do some hiking tomorrow?

[Lone Star]

so, it's the winter of 08-09 and once again trackhead doesnt like the direction his precious Wasatch conditions thread is going. question is, will he delete it and then undelete it like last year?
