They have to salt or sand though right?

Yup. Only thing I could do without is that ice crust from last Monday. That’s not going away easily.

South shore in January vibes.

You just gotta bring some with you to SNE.

Saw some moderate snow obs out of SLK… along with the persistent 1.5-3.0sm vis -SN… that’s a nice snowy winter day out of nowhere.

At least when you go out to a ski town like Aspen there’s still a fun mountain town vibe to enjoy regardless of conditions.

We are getting like an inch every 10 hours at 3,000ft in this persistent flurry, ha.

Finished December with a -5 departure and snow cover throughout here in the valley with frequent snows. Currently a frigid -6F this evening after last night’s refresher and these well-below normal arctic shots continue with frequency. Normal is 28/9. Today is 23/-6 because of a midnight high last night. Daytime hours never got above 16F.

Ended up with a 7.5” measured total in 24 hours at 1500ft. Gondola was on wind hold so never got to the High Road plot. Skiing was fluff on top of pond ice or slick hardpack. Steeper stuff was very sporty.

Yeah, picked up another 1.5" after that for a total of 7.5". Total fluff on top of like tilted pond ice on the Front Four lol. Looks great in photos. Skis like you want to hold on for dear life.

Saw 6" overnight at Barnes Camp and that 1,500ft elevation saw snowpack go from 23" to 29".

6” overnight at the base of the ski area. 29” depth, up from 23” yesterday.

Have fun or not .

Yes it was a typo. 59”.

The good vibe that a multiple snowstorm stretch brings is hard to beat by one big one. A 10-inch event, 5-inch event, and 10-inch event in an every 3rd day succession is a 7-10 day binge of winter. Getting a big 20” event then nothing pales in terms of the overall mood/outlook.
