    He's travelling now, so I don't think there are plans to build it for other areas soon. Might be useful for folks skiing WB this year.
    Cool idea, bookmarked on the phone. Tell him thanks.

    A few seasons back, I triggered a significant wind slab just above where that skintrack breaks out to the right....

    40cms at top of Flute. Approx 110cms on the N faces deposited by wind no doubt. Pockets of chest deep blower pow

    Yep. Northeast face of flute is skiing really well. A few chocolate chips in the chutes, but pretty easy to spot if you take it easy.

    Nope. Season is done. Sorry folks. Go back to mtn biking. Pemby is all time right now. Just beware of the dude camped out in camo with his rifle right off the nimby climb.

    You jinxed it by trying to get the Duffy removed from this thread. The blood of a snowless season is on your hands.

    No kidding. Looks like a bit of precip coming this weekend but then the long-range shows clearing again next week. ARGH!

    The riding has been good. Where's the snow line in Pemby?

    I'm skiing out of Chillicrack this year. We definitely need more snow. Anyone else in the area?

    Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.

    Pretty much some of the worst in-bounds conditions it has ever been my misfortune to ski.
    The real dog-shit-icing on the cake is that all the world and his wife are confined to whiskey jack and pony trail, since not even the greenest of Australian lifties is dumb enough to ski off the groomers (of which there are only 2 open) so it pretty much feels like the Toykyo subway at rush hour.

    Stay at home or go biking is pretty much what I'm saying right now!

    On the bright side, crevasse rescue practice is so easy to do right now what with the slots being so wide open.

    Going to work on some more trails through the rest of the week.

    I've never ever worked so much in November. Just picked up work out of sheer boredom. Almost did 30 hours this week - insane!

    I'm been completely slammed with work this fall, kinda okay with it not pounding snow yet since I'm actually having to put in a lot of office time right now....looks that way through december too. I can't really complain though, it's not like it's overly normal since before the olympics!

    Hopefully lack of early season snow will scare snow chasing seasonal ski bums off to Colorado and Euroland.

    Doubt it. Passes are bought, leases are signed...

    We've had so many good season the last 5+ years people are starting believe shit seasons won't happen. But if this carries on into feb, mass exodus for sure.

    While that may be true, local businesses are hyper sensitive about either laying off or not delivering on employment offers if the snow never shows. With no paycheck, those passes and leases turn into pumkins overnight. W/B will kick you to the curb as soon as the spread sheet tells them to.
