five day forecast
i haven't posted in a long time and unfortunately it's not because i've been too busy playing in the snow. we've hit another dry spell (i'd actually consider it's been one long dry spell since Jan 12) and i'm just not interested in any more groomers. i know guys who have been checking out kybers, etc, but as far as i'm concerned, there is not enough base to safely move through areas like these.
compared to the past 3 seasons we are more than 100cm below our base level for this time of year. our january snowfall (117cm) was our 2nd lowest since '85 (in '05 we had the massive pineapple and only measured 42cm for the month), and this is normally the month where we load our base for the rest of the season.
the next five days isn't looking much better. trace amounts of snow for the start of the week, then another ridge of high pressure sets in.
mid season review: (numbers posted are this year / last year)
40+cm days = 0 / 2
30+cm days = 1 / 3
20+cm days = 4 / 9
10+cm days = 12 / 26
days with freezing levels 2400m or higher = 12 / 0

Don't know what to say Mark. Maybe you should take up surfing....at least there will always be waves.
i've tried that and the water spit me out.
