Little bit of everything today; HUGE drifts, trees blown over into runs, 4" of thin sweet pow over 3' of super dense snow, wind-stripped rock, and sections of sketchy boilerplate. Skier's left fence on Skyline almost completely buried. Expert skiing to chair 1. Chair 3 didn't open until well after lunch, so there's still a considerable amount of untracked. Overall, several feet of super-dense base snow to carry through the season.

Fun day at the ski area yesterday, conditions as 1000-oaks described. Got south bowl as patrol dropped the rope, https://www.facebook.com/Mt-Baldy-Sk...1570685574039/ and lapped it several times.
Got pretty warm in the afternoon, anything that got sun will be icy until it gets sun again.
Odd forecast for the weekend.

Was up there hiking last summer and the terrain looked incredible. Glad you guys are getting some.

^^^any signs on wind slab instability? I bet N & E facing stuff is touchy next few days.
Took the wife to the ski area yesterday, skiing was lots of fun despite the wind. With traffic jam didn't get down the mountain until 11pm...fucking snow play assholes. Thankfully kids did fine with grandma at home. https://abc7.com/weather/freezing-te...baldy/5132301/

I should have known better, last time the forecast called for the road to stay snowed in, I parked at Ice house and hitch hike up in the morning with an easy ski back to truck past all the traffic jam in the afternoon.

stability seemed good to us. the windslab was on top for sure, but we observed that windslab to be well bonded to a very consolidated base, like can't-get-your-pole-thru-it consolidated. because of this we considered the steep east facing slopes we skied to be good to go.
that sucks to get stuck in that cluster yesterday, seemed heinous.Last edited by bbrianburke; 02-13-2019 at 04:07 PM.

good fun up on baldy yesterday. good snow and bad snow was found based on aspect, with the more eastern facing stuff skiing real fine.
pretty spooky moment, on our way back to the car we watched a loose wet release run 1000' from the top of the standard up-route of the bowl. 1:30 in the afternoon on a super warm day. the new snow running on a pen hard rain crust. probably 6 people partially caught and carried, no burials fortunately.
the top of the booter visible to the left of the start zone (measured at even 40 degrees at the top)
