we're seeing a drastic change in our weather currently. it is raining to 1500m today and has been since 10pm last night. not sure what effect this will have on the snowpack longterm, but the avalanche rating for today is extreme. now, i'm not a professional forecaster (just a boring snow observer), but i'm thinking that this will be a benefit in the long run. hopefully this heavy wet snow will cause extensive natural slides throughout the alpine, essentially turning over the snowpack and breaking down and saturating the weak underlying layers. it's just me, but i have a hunch we will see harmony and peak chair open next week or possibly this weekend.
our base depth is in much better shape and with the next good snowfall the mid-mountain should be in excellent form.
dude - where's your car?
