I did a little digging around and based on Snotel data, it's the worst start at ABasin since the 90/91 season. 7 percentile. Yeehaw!

I think what 69% of median equating to 8th percentile tells me is that our snowpack just does not vary that much. The skiing is truly quite poor but 110" YTD at Wanker Park isn't that bad. Probably 5months left in the lift served season.
Yes we don't vary that much, but there is a minimum amount of snow to have things not suck and it turns out that 69% of median is well below that.

Clearly I will be obsessing over this cycle. May shave butter off the tops tomorrow.
The ice pics are really pretty. I watched a random swedish chick on youtube that was recording the ice singing under some unique conditions. Also the northern lights. Fairy tale vibes

Locationish? I figure down south.
My skis were grippy yesterday so I'm going to put on some cold wax. I have purple, blue, and black. I was thinking to put on blue and add a few drops of black, is that a good idea?
Also do you know a ghetto fast way to get the snarls of base material from the rock skking smoothed off real quick? Like maybe just a kitchen knife or sandpaper or file or something? Oooh a boxcutter?

I lied. There's up to 8" is spots, the clouds are breaking up and one replaced shear pin. Game on for back door horizontal freshies.

Mrs ski-wpk’s birthday is next weekend and she wants to ski. Where to? We’re typically at WP but on mountain is pretty awful.
Steamboat? Silverton? Wolf Creek?
Over a foot is forecast within the next week or so for the San Juans. Not enough to cover everything. It'll definitely improve groomed runs and you might get lucky and find some off piste spots, but not worth a trip, IMO.
This might be a good winter to get in touch with your nordic side. I get out upwards of a 100 days on skis a year due to XC/rugged touring options. It's all good just getting outside on and in snow. You don't need a huge amount of coverage to XC or skate. Something like Devils Thumb/Tabernash might be worth a look and a unique option....then there's snowshoeing.![]()

Got a good skate ski in this week between town and resort at Winter Park on FS 152. Definitely a winter for XC.
Good feedback all. Fortunately we can make a gametime decision so we’ll see what the next week looks like.
What is FS 152? Tunnel Hill? Vasquez Rd.?
As mentioned, the pent up demand will be serious specially at IKON resorts? Different people have different tolerances and expectations but in order to succeed, I'd suggest focusing on the non-skiing activities and just roll with it.
I have been skiing wolf creek. I have switched to biking during the holiday so have no recent data. Will be there tomorrow though. I have not skied the peak or waterfall yet. The knife ridge is open Letter chutes are skiable maybe some deadfall maybe get a clean line.horseshoe bowl is good and they ran the snowcat there this season. Step Bowl has been skiing good for awhile and is clean. Even delivered some faceshots this season. I have been skiing with a friend so having been doing Step Bowl to Bank Shot than catching Orion's Beltway. Below Orion's beltway is a little tight if you don't know it. Easier to cruise the groomer. stuff off prospector is skiable lines have slid so might not ski deep. haven't skied the steeper of the number chutes but the others have been ok. the stuff not off Alberta is all ok just avoid things that get sun. groomers and low angle trees are fine. Everything should be better with half of what open snow is predicting, which is what we have been getting. if its your wife's 65th birthday she can ski for $58 which makes it a little more palatable. If that is enough for you come on down. the snow is supportable so you will not be diving under any trees only going around occasionally. i am still skiing things cautiously.
the backcountry still needs twice the snowfall we have now to be in.

i had to look at the map in order to write that. I usually just hike out the knife ridge and drop.
