    Looks like it won’t be until near Xmas before anything opens up for real in the States.

    I’m hearing they had an FIS comp at Killngton last weekend. So they must be open.

    Last weekend was fucking brutal to the PNW snow pack.
    Not looking good Pod. We were 4 x 4 ing on some logging roads to cut down the Christmas tree last weekend. Should have had plenty of snow on them but were just muddy.

    Hello skiers,

    The weather remains mild, with more rain than snow falling on the slopes. I do see cooler air moving in later in the week, with the incoming airflow changing direction by Thursday, coming from the west-northwest.

    The high snow levels the last few days means snow accumulation has been infrequent and not impressive. Mild air continues to stream in from the southwest, but the moisture from the most recent atmospheric river (AR) is easing and there will be a break Monday. There is one more AR to come. A new and final AR moves in Tuesday, mainly into southern BC and the north Central Cascades.

    Monday will see a little rain snow mix, but nothing to get excited about, as we are between storms. A new AR will move in on Tuesday as the snow levels bounce up (5,500-7,000ft). It’s another day of rain falling in the Cascades as a warm front and AR cause the snow levels to soar. The wet weather will continue into Wednesday as the snow levels rise to 8,000 and then 9,000ft – unfortunately that is above the highest ski slopes.

    Cooler air will move in at the end of this AR storm, late Wednesday and early Thursday. Finally, there will be snow accumulation, mainly north Cascades (3-7”) as the AR dissipates and cooler air gets pulled in behind the storm.

    Friday and into the early part of the weekend looks cool and finally with low snow levels, but we run out of moisture. Expect little if any snow accumulation. By later Sunday into Monday, the snowfall looks modest (4-8”). I’ll update later Thursday or Friday.

    Yeah, seems to be what I'm seeing for Oree-gone as well.

    Doesn't help Yeller much. I don't own rock skis and can't afford to take a core shot right now.

    You should see all these fuckers that hike Mt. Flatchelor in the early season and ski on a 12" base.

    @Swaye There is an redman rain dance. But is there a redman Snow Dance?

    I will do lots of peyote, fire water and dance all night/week/month for more snow.
