PNW, this about sums it up....NWAC Poetry
WEATHER SYNOPSIS FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY
In order to smile now, think of long term gain,
And of recent snow stabilized by the rain?
It?s a process we value that helps cleans the slate,
But while it?s occurring, don?t go and tempt fate.
For as liquid water moves down through the snow,
It loads and it weakens, increasing downhill flow?
Wet loose and wet slabs are the common close,
Of this abysmal weather driven by warm, wet flows.
With the weather and stability both looking quite bleak,
Don?t find yourself up the proverbial creek?
Give the snowpack a while to settle and slide,
Know that this sloppy snow won?t be a good ride.
But if you must go out, stay on gentle terrain,
Away from avalanche runouts that could be a pain?
Avoid cornices, chutes and other terrain traps,
As these are places that will fill with bad crap.
Be positive and look to when temperatures plummet,
That?ll be a better time to head for the summit.
Old wet weak snow will refreeze and strengthen,
Decreasing the danger as day times lengthen.
But unless the forecast is a total bust,
We may just be left with dust over crust?
It?s not a bad thing, and good for stability,
Time to work on your edges and carving ability.

And it is true... Once the rain percolates through we'll have a clean, stable slate for some spring backcountry skiing. I'll be accessing the bc round red and whitewater in the next couple of weeks. Pow or no pow.

The poems always come from one guy at NWAC...Brian I think his name is. I think it's great.
Pineapple Express can nurse my hog.
