The avalanche occurred around 3:30 p.m. near the West Fork of Twentymile River, Alaska State Troopers said in an update Wednesday. The slide area is a mountain cirque...

All speculation until we see a photo or get a hard location. There is a layer of buried surface hoar at 1-2’ depth now that mainly exists at mid elevations (1.5-2.5k) and mainly sheltered terrain. I...

Some more iPhone shots.

Recently completed a ski trip to the Chilean volcanoes as well and will toss my pictures here rather than start a new trip report. It was my first time visiting Chile but my sister has spent...

Planning a trip to ski Chilean volcanoes for Austral spring. On an average weather year, is October usually corn on solar aspects below 9k? Targeting a general range of Volcan Antuco to Osorno. Have...

I’ve been skiing in both areas the last few weeks and concur with lassen Shasta over eastern Sierra for early June. There will be plenty of good skiing on both volcanoes for awhile with easy access...

Live report for those considering coming up this weekend. Horrid downslope winds this morning at ~10k, burned hour or so at Camp Helen waiting to see if it would abate. It did somewhat as the morning...

Skied really good corn of SE face of Shastina this morning. Not quite primo yet, new snow still needs a little bit more time to transition but probably by tomorrow/Monday it will be about there

Will be skiing shasta for the near future starting later this week. If anyone’s looking for a touring partner feel free to reach out

Skied South Couloir Dunderberg this morning. Good corn at 10:30 am on south aspect. Snow was still pretty firm at 10 and then softened quickly in about half hour. Will be in the area for awhile if...

Do areas farther south such as Osorno and Bariloche usually fair poorly as well during La Niña conditions?

What’s backcountry coverage looking like this year? My impression from Instagram is that Mammoth area and north is fairly filled in but farther south is pretty thin?

Noticed this photo on the NWAC observation page. Is the Kautz ice cliff above the turtle snowfield now gone? Just a trick of the camera angle? Don’t recall this area ever being connected before....

Would love to see photos of the upper mountain start zone

Nice work. Any insight as to whether TC usually holds cold snow through a warmup like the one coming this weekend?

Beautiful lighting this evening.

Anyone skin Showdown this week and can report on skiability?

Bbowl was thin but decently skiable where they mowed. Grass is pretty grabby where it’s not mowed. Team roskie’s packing out the skintrack for everyone

Certainly isn’t my preference after that experience. Ironically the dog probably saved us by drawing the bears attention. We had coincidentally stopped for a break probably only 20-30 yards from...

Grizzly was chasing my friends dog on a narrow trail a couple years ago and the pair came running back towards us. We stepped aside both sprayed half a can of bear spray in the grizzlies face at...

Conditions were great this weekend. Snowpack is low overall though and will melt fast if upcoming precipitation is rain up high

Tentatively planning to be around shasta Monday if anyone’s interested in skiing.

Probably deepest snow I’ve skied at bbowl this season

Seems like things are tending towards corn cycle/ starting to shape up? Probably heading this way sometime in the next two weeks, appreciate all the beta

Bridger has had an about avg season swe wise. 17/18 was something else entirely

Haha it me. Nice shot!

Alberta is just an unincorporated territory of Montana. 54 40 or fight

Anyone ski snowbowl today and can report on conditions?

Found this on my windshield coming back from a certain locale in that direction today 450605

I’ll take today’s bbowl conditions over cold joke any day

Appreciate the input everyone. Our timing is certainly flexible, realistically we’ll wait for a favorable window before sending it over.

Merci

Has anyone skied the Lange 140 touring model? I have the XT3 Tour Pro, but replaced the stick liners with intuitions. Unfortunately this makes the walk mode of the boot practically unusable....

The two california lines should be easy to tag this season

Hello everyone, looking for advice on when to plan a trip to the Eastern Sierra this spring. Would you generally pick the month of April or May for an extended trip?

Lone peak trams this afternoon were great. Great snow on gullies and couloir

Nws looks a bit overdone to me. HRRR has 1” swe for Bridger by opening tomorrow then snow continuing through the day, probably 2”+ by time it’s done. Depends when the east winds pick up. Can see...

How’s coverage look to compare to 2017 right now?

Great morning at bbowl. 436407

Seems to thin for a bbowl opening. Not bad for skinners but sustained traffic would grind it down to dirt

Anyone check out Schlasmans this week?

Awesome episode Cody

It’s flmr season
