Yes they need more snow - but what they had was great. Had to pay attention - lots of things lurking off piste with the low coverage. Great weather, sunny, light wind. Hoping snow keeps coming next week to setup a good holiday run.
Anyone skiing Schweitzer today or tomorrow?
Looking good for our trip in Feb./Mar. Maybe you'll be home by then.Anybody go to 49* N? I'm seeing they've gotten 17" in the past 48 hours and it looks like it is nuking on top. Enquiring minds really want to know.
It currently sucks to be stuck in S. Idaho working. I want to be home, at least for this week.
Nope. I am back up Friday. Heard it was tough visibility today.
At one point I could only find the base of the Lakeview Chair by following the music playing from the lift shack. Probably the worst fog I’ve ever skied in, obviously made more challenging by it being my first day there.
I did find better visibility though in the Whiplash area, and I may have been the only person all morning making the 30 second traverse back toward Misfortune—nice little pillows and cliffs there with at least 6 inches of creamy snow.
Oh man, knew I missed a good day when I got up and looked at the report. Had other obligations but am looking forward to heading up sometime after Christmas.Ski/Snow at Silver Friday 12/21. Best snow of the year. Small grapple ball dry 7 inches over soft base. Skied 4 straight hours until my legs gave out. Wardner opened and was good. South was very good. A few of the "normal" powder stashes still have some stick ups but all in all was a really good day. Stood in lst lift line and probably had 4or 5 people in front of me. Lodge was pretty full though.
Comba, looked for you and missed Teledancer etc. but had a fun day.
We have plans to visit 49 on Sunday, Silver on Tuesday, and Lookout on Wednesday of next week (the 6th, 8th and 9th). If any locals are around those days maybe we could meet up for a few turns.
Would if I could Pete, but can't so I won't. But if your going to be in Sun Valley the 2nd ..............
are the constant wet fronts we are getting on our coast reaching you?
I rarely road trip before late Jan but never too early to start thinking about a direction.
north of the border the coastal rain shadow has been very noticeable.
In the southern Okanogan Apex is still not 100%, Again showed dry for last 2 days. Locally Whistler got over a meter in same period
