    Did someone say rain runnels?





    90% of skiing is just looking cool

    Found solid Junuary conditions at Paradise on Sunday. If anybody knows the person who lost an Icelantic ski up there recently, it is planted a few hundred feet above the "Nisqually Chute" entrance (see attached pic for reference). Somebody either stuck it there to be found, or by some miracle it punched in just above a cliff. Either way, it's easy to retrieve right now.Click image for larger version.

    That ski was there on 11/20/2021 too. Interesting that Muir corned up on Sunday; on Saturday it was an exercise in connecting ribbons of wind drifts between scoured ice. Great views, though!

    Seems like it would be awesome in black and white too. And also reaffirmation of why I didn't ski last weekend.

    one of the NWAC reporters described skiing it as "at times character building"

    Jesus Christ:

    “I would not say there’s a good chance of rain until February,” said meteorologist Jacob DeFlitch

    Year two of a La Nina has historically been dry in January. February, March and April historically have been pretty amazing.

    Yep, nothing to see here. Pretty much normal for January.

    Oh no, a few weeks of high pressure in January!

    This is the norm

    I'm banging out yardwork projects like crazy right now so I don't have to sacrifice time later when the great snow machine in the sky starts up again. I'd rather high pressure for a few weeks of gorgeous weather than an all you can eat pineapple buffet.

    Poking around on blewett today... W to SW aspects that still have coverage are holding something akin to spring corn with a supportive base. Anything that doesn't get solar exposure was covered in a heinous crust that was sometimes ski penetrable, sometimes not, boot pen to the ground.

    I saw this ridge earlier this year when gathering foliage, had to ski it:


    Top of the line with a brushy "drop in".

    My yardwork remains buried in snow. This inversion on the east side is getting old. Is the norm, but I don't have to like it. On the plus side, my skinny ski criterium loop in my yard is still in play.

    Is this “the new normal” of annoying terms?


    June is pretty wet around here so doesn’t even make sense.

    Julyuary?


    Holy shit where’s the Tylenol

    Skied UT for a few days and when I mentioned I was from the Seattle area, people asked "Do you ski Stevens Pass?" to which I responded "Yes". The follow on was always something like "Boy, Vail really screwed up that mountain, didn't they?!"

    In other news, not sure if people saw that new Tom is trying to get Kehr's (Big Chief) open by Saturday and gave a very loose target of getting the backside open in two weeks. Of course, the snow is "meh" but at least it could help manage the crowds. Will be interesting to see how that plays out.
    In constant pursuit of the perfect slarve...

    Too late. You were there for that lemming line up when the High T opened for business. They were everywhere.
