We skied wind affected but soft snow on Jones last Saturday. It's not skiing great, but there's certainly enough coverage to go sledneck and skin around.

Thanks Mike. That's my concern. God, I may have to head to the groomed trails just to run the sled a bit. The horror... Originally Posted by Mike_Records

Hit no name>cc bench>z chute, but ended up backing off of z after our first ski cut. The thin layer of wind slab on top of full depth facets scared us off. Had to hump a good amount of sugar to get back out, but we felt it was the right call. Found variable wind fuck/sun crust/cream cheese up high. Wasn't real pretty but felt good to get up there.

proper, more or less. We started about 30' before the summit and cut into the no name chute. just tried to avoid the convex and cornice on the top. Originally Posted by georgio

Also... pretty sure Wolf Creek did better than 0.0 ... by about 17.0 inches.

Most plots will be fixed in the next 12 hours. All fixed within the next 36. Sorry folks!

Is it pulling Snotel data or what's the source?

Its pulling a combination of SNOTEL, wxstns, CDOT, MesoWest, CAIC and CSCUSA data.
Snotel is good but isn't sensitive enough when only monitoring SWE (plus I have to put in a ton of logic to filter out the noise)
This is very much a work in progress but will be pretty cool when its fully up and running. Jackson has been very strong through the last few storms (accuracy, timeliness and usability)

How's the skiing around Broome right now?
Friends are heading up tonight for the weekend, I'm considering meeting up early in the morning and getting some laps in - I imagine Current Creek and the 110s aren't optimal right now? Suggestions?

Big time. It was still dicey out Wednesday afternoon in some places. But we've picked up another 2 full days of bonus snow since then. We've moved from November snowpack to early December snowpack.

As I was heading down the Pass this afternoon, I saw a bunch of Clear Creek County Sheriff's cars, a firetruck and what looked to be several SAR trucks heading up. Hope everyone is OK.

The woman caught in the slide is fine. She triggered a slide about 50 feet above the choke of Rush Chute slid just about to the choke and somehow (fucking miraculously) wedged herself there and didn't get run through the bottom 20-30 feet. She was stuck for 4 hours until SAR could extract her. I need to calm down for a few and I'm going to have some pretty fucking choice words for some people about the whole situation...
Does anyone know the name of the group doing what appeared to be avy classes up on the west side of the pass today?Last edited by georgio; 02-02-2013 at 10:03 PM.

Parked at the first pull off on the right before the summit to ski the mellow field on the West side. We heard sirens going when we reached the top. Sheriff's office pulled my registration and called my family to see if they'd heard from me. Freaked them out quite a bit.
Glad everyone is ok but sounds like some bad decisions were made^
