I was bummed Saturday. was supposed to take a few runs with Angelina Jolie at Crested Butte but she was a no show cause of the 15 below temps. now i know why Brad dumped her! lol.

missed the powder by a day but still had some fresh in the trees. nowhere near what @BobBitchen is encountering though. never knew you could have too much snow, sex or drugs. lol.

Mammoth has "too much" snow......
Only able to get two lower lifts open the last few days...
30' cornices at top...
20' slab avalanches
And we , so cal , are getting rain, a good amount too, for here.
I am planning on going up to mammoth in early march, untill closing, maybe later than July 4th this year
A chance the rain will turn to snow tonight through Sunday local.


Too much snow ?....wtf?.......

Monarch in southern Colo has the same problem. It is not the biggest runs/place in CO but they get the most snow each year. Closed due to workers cannot get to the slopes to work and avalanche concerns

200+ inches dropped in NorCal over 3-4day storm.

It was awesome yesterday. But I went a week ago and dislocated my shoulder when I fell on some ice dusted with snow. It was my baby girls first day skiing and she wanted to go to the top so dad popped that shit back into socket and went to the top... omfg every bump and mogul felt like being struck by lightning in my shoulder. But I'd do it again if I could see my 4 year old go top to bottom w/o falling on her first day . I was proud as shit when she passed up the adults taking lessons near the bottom.

It was a great day... mostly. Then we drove back through a mini blizzard because my wife was too cheap to spend 70 bucks on a room. It took us an hour to get up there; and about 8 to get back.

I love to see the invincibility of kids on the slope. My kids love it, now 23-25 and both have some kind of 5 state pass and make use of it!

Right on Bob, go get it!

Here at Alyeska its been good, got many feet last week and the skiing's been good. Today about 30% more of the mountain opens, all steep stuff that's been closed for the last 2 years! Yeah the weather's been that shitty, plus Southcentral AK had this weird avie phenomenon last year of glide cracks, everywhere, not just the b/c but on-area at Alyeska too. That kept terrain closed too.

Anyway today's the N Face opener, so the mtn's steepest lines are also untracked top-to-bottom! We'll be on the first few chairs hell yeah. It'll be good but its -5F right now ,heading only 2 zero degrees at noon. So we'll dress warm, and hopefully that'll keep a bunch of the posers away!

a foot plus of fresh on top, sun broke through for a minute.
Spent a good chunk of time digging out of a gully I skied into, dropped into it,
heel eject, superman into snowbank, snow up to my underarms,
a fight for a while getting a platform to get my boots back in.
Good times
