Mmmm. Jacuzzi. Yeah, the camping is looking to be chilly. Just hoping those upper elevations will be skiable come this weekend.
I'll be meeting up with Dookey on at bottom of 2 on Thursday morning. Can't really expect the epic corn we found last year, but who knows. I heard they got a few inches and it rained again this afternoon on the coast.
Edit: damn. Top of the page again. It is almost like I am trying.

I'm more of a fan of slush than dust on crust. If you have a slushy base, which then freezes and is rock hard, 3 inches which don't bond up well is not fun.

Fuck. This weather is just plain not looking good, let alone for any sort of BC projects. Thursday should be OK, but Fri/Sat/Sun need to warm up quickly or I'm going to need a better reason to show up besides skiing frozen railroad tracks.

Friday Night: A 20 percent chance of snow showers. Partly cloudy and breezy, with a low around 23.
Saturday: A 30 percent chance of snow showers. Partly cloudy, with a high near 40. Little or no snow accumulation expected.
Saturday Night: A chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 23.

I had obligations come up for Friday and Saturday nights, but if the forecast looks like 3+" of snow Saturday night and Sunday, I will drive up early Sunday morning for some late winter love from Ullr.That is why I like dogs, more than most people. Originally Posted by leroy jenkins

Yeah, I've been watching this system all week wondering about it...still planning on some bc Friday though... Originally Posted by Spats

If Asandygal can hook me up with a parking pass for the Shadows, I will set up bar there for the weekend since it is pretty central...

It looks like I'll be cruising through Mammoth on Saturday around noon, to pick up a bicycle (found a Kona Sutra via craigslist). I'll look around for the maggotry...

What maggot doesn't like a little weather? A few inches or freshies can be great, just deal with it.

Not the weather that worries me per se. It's the frozen railroad tracks. Who knows, maybe the top won't slush up these next few days. I would not mind some winter stuff up high, I just worry about frozen slush is things do warm up. Originally Posted by hutash

Hmmm, based on latest forecast, it looks like fun stuff to me. Granted, I will likely be railing the groomers off the top, unless there is enough fresh snow to ski the rest of the firm snow conditions on the mountain, but shit, did you read what Bodhi is bringing? I love Harpoons. Save me one for Sunday Bodhi. Originally Posted by Long duc dong

I'm headed up tomorrow expecting winter camping conditions. Got a box of kindling and more beer than I can drink. Looking for chaos.

Shit, I know we were skiing fresh this time two years ago.
But we were doing it in the sunshine.

will be at Ginny Lakes tomorrow ~830 AM
Anyone else think Laurel Springs campground is a good idea? That's my defacto unless Ottime or cdlv find a better solution.
Driving to SLT tonight and then down early tomorrow ..._______________________________________________

Cool...I think Mark is going to get me a parking pass, but if he doesn't I will count on you...looks like Dude and I will be staying in one of the condos Friday night and then camping in the truck Saturday night if I cannot find any floor space for us inside one of the Shadows...
