Snow Shred Season 23/24
- Thread starter adamcu280
- Start date
While the skiing sucks with the fluctuating temperatures, most the snowpack in Oregon measured by SWE is good. Washington snowpack is similar to the levels in NE Oregon. Unfortunately I bought a season pass this year for skiing at an area in SE Washington. Hoping for a better second half of the ski season. I have seen many other years with a slow start have a strong finish. Since I started skiing at age 7, my observation record is long.
I guess my concern is that those snowpack levels aren't going to stay if we keep having stretches of 7000-8000 ft freezing levels and significant rain events.

Can you say "January Thaw"?
I'd rather not.
Yeah, I really wished I could have gotten out yesterday or today.
Pontus said today was a lot better than yesterday. Today was super fun smooth cream cheese up high, a bouncy chunder midsection, and then saturated but smooth-ish lower. Yesterday was bouncy chunder everywhere.

Well they are forecasting a hundred incher for the second half of this week in interior norcal. 2-4 feet at the house @5700 feet in truckee.
We just got back from our family ski road trip in Utah, wyoming and Idaho. Hit some of the big resorts and had decent snow but my favorite day was hitting legendary Pomerelle!!!
Snowing hard in interior Norcal. Mostly just snow blowing but a quick powsurf this afternoon behind the house. Too much snow for that even. Two sledders I talked with said the hill across the street has 7 feet on it and it is still dumping. No doubt some wind transfer. Pali valley had a 109 mph gust last night.

The Inland NW got hit pretty well this week too, Silver Mountain was fun today.
