    Rained for all of about 3min at my house. For those keeping score, I live at 8500 in the Fraser River Valley. Since the ski area closed (Early May), we have had measurable precipitation twice. Once around May 16th when we had a full soaking grappel storm for about 2 hours. Another around June 20th where we got a full afternoon of heavy rain.

    Even the 2002 fire season was not close to this dry in the mountains (from memory). It really is something people are aware of all day. Wind, lightning, jackasses...this tinder box is on edge.

    May-June is always pretty dry. July is when monsoons start and it rains every afternoon. Look at the weather for next week. Chance of rain every day.

    Kinda true. But taking Dillion for example: avg June precip is 1.26". This year was 0.44". May avg is 1.36, and this year was 0.84. All told that's <50% of average rainfall.

    San Juans are back fully open for business. Eagle county, at least up valley, is still silly dry. Tomorrow looks stormy, we’ll see.

    Sprinkled for about 4 or 5 min.....so that’s something I guess.

    We had maybe 1.5 to 2 inches of rain in 25 min Golden Gate Canyon today. Was awesome.

    First, a request for any intel on conditions off Rollins Pass (say Skyscraper) and or Mt Toll/Navajo area. Thanks in advance!!!

    Second, some recent pics from around Jasper in IPW and also looking back at Arapahoe Skywalker.

    South side of Jasper bowl (Gaiterade, Snow Leopard) still filled in, but have significant cornices (zoom in) and no Snow Lion

    The smaller (but still pretty decent vertical) snowfield further east along that ridge is in pretty good shape, just get there early and hopefully can still connect all the way through, working skiers left

    Wow, with the fires here, the low snowpack this past year, making turns this late has not been on my radar at ALL.

    Skyscraper has snow, not sure what kind of condition report you need.

    Anyone bothering to ski the crap that’s out there right now is only doing it to be Insta-famous.

    Some summers are obviously better than others but this year

    So many more fun things to do in July-Oct IMO.

    A crack habit might be cheaper than biking though

    Heavy smoke from the Lake Christine fire in Vail this morning. Vis dropped to less than 2 miles. Throat, eyes, and lungs don't feel too good.

    Ended up riding up in Zuma and air quality wasn't terrible. One of those rides where it feels like it could dump rain any second, but never did. Glad we went.

    95 degrees in Carbondale when I drove through this afternoon, and the Lake Christine fire keeps getting bigger. Jesus H Christ, when are the rains coming?

    Every damn day above 80, wife is talking about getting a whole house fan!

    And this smoke is making life really hard for people with allergies, asthma, and environmentally triggered migraines!
