    Yeahman. Maybe we will catch ya for a few more tomorrow. That was a sick day. 1 inch on the snow report and about 18 on the south face. I’m going to try and make it down early one day and ski w Byates before you take off too. Be fun to talk some more east coast skiing.

    Nice to be sitting on the lift in a snowstorm again.

    Looks like the atmospheric river pounding the PNW is blowing its wad before reaching our donut hole state. Utah getting plenty.

    Yep, a typical early season El Nino in SW Montana. I think Whitefish is getting snow as is Lost Trail.
    I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

    Hopefully the effects are slim to none, like so many coastal winters in AK where the effects of Nina/Nino did not play out.

    Whitefish picked up about a foot. Opening day is Thursday. Which would be exciting, except the rain line is supposed to shoot up 2000' above the summit on Tuesday and Wednesday, with close to a 1/2" of rain expected. I guess it'll help lock in that early season snowpack (or at least that's the bullshit silver lining that I'll go with to avoid an "old man yells at clouds" moment).

    Sounds like AK. We’d get two feet of snow followed by 3” rain.

    Not going to make Monday. Safe travels. Looks like it’s starting to get good in Jackson.

    Look forward to skiing ya Byates, skiing is pretty fair but not expansive. Decent chance more terrain by next weekend. Snow is much softer now with a foot+ mixed into the hose snow.

    $25 day tix at the village next Sat to set a world record for most skiers wearing jeans while skiing.
    It's dumb. But it's cheap skiing at the village. Any mags welcome.

    Prob gonna be busy but possible weather late week would insure that.

    Goofin with friends will be my MO for a few hours.

    I skied the WROD at GD today with my kid. Happy to just be alive this year. Some day hope to make it to BS where all you rich, entitled, pretentious fucks ski

    Bought my first alpine set up in 30 years. Nice to have something other than two buckle rando boots and race bindings.

    Word. Just the spectacle of the village is worth the 25$. I'll be using an Indy pass day at snow king Friday most likely. Got Thur Fri sat off. Thinking xc or bc Thursday.

    There might not be much snow but ice skating was pretty fabulous around Helena. It’s like glass out there.

    We found our tree. Not the purdiest tree but it gets the job done. BS was pretty scratchy out there by end of day. Lots of traffic on those same runs is starting to take its toll. Getting ice coast style.

    Congrats on that. Hope you and your son have lots of good times to come skiing together and lots of those Elkhorn sunsets on the way home.

    Here’s the last 5 El Niños from Bracket Creek snotel near Bridger at 7300 feet. Numbers are the inches of precipitation we received that month (not inches of snow, this isn’t Discovery Basin).

    It looks like December is pretty hit or miss. January is typically pretty good. February is good to good plus. March can be pretty sparse and April is gonna be epic.

    Just hope it doesn’t turn out like 06-07. I think I remember how painfully bad that Early season was. The last moderate El Niño was 2009-2010. That looks like a pretty slow start into a fairly consistent winter.

    I read some sciency stuff about El-Nino in MT and the conclusion was similar. I'm not losing hope, it's still quite early. I just wish we could nordic ski, as it's the perfect shoulder season activity. I guess I need to buy skates like others have done. For now I'm just chopping wood.

    You don't need those fancy long blade skates the serious "wild ice" crowd prefers. Pair of used hockey skates will do just fine. Play it Again Sports in Helena usually has some.
