    Chest high crowns across a football field's width. Yikes. The inflatable vest is pretty much a must and even then you're just hoping to end up near the surface. Many of us would be lying if we said we'd never been in prone positions, even in bounds and trying to be smart. But weeks like this really do bring the message home. You can't mess around. It looks so tempting at times but just not worth the risk.

    This is the report from the CO avy that killed 3. It's a classic terrain trap. One of the guys was found 16' down and it took rescue teams with power tools 2 days to reach him. https://snowbrains.com/full-caic-avalanche-report-silverton-colorado/

    I recall being at Red Mountain in BC and observing the ski club coach and kids standing over about a 15-20 footer... go go go children

    This times a million... they're getting rid of the wrong model... nobody pays attention to the GFS inside day 3

    Setups like this are our bread and butter

    3"

    2.25", small flakes, coming down moderately. Could have been worse.

    The March 2016 analog was like 3-7 east of BDL-ORH-FIT but a very sharp cutoff west of the river. That sort of thing could be in play. We hope not of course.

    I guess the one listed 2/8/11 was a pedestrian 2-4" snow around a lot of SNE

    That Jan 2015 system that preceded the big dog wasn't bad out this way 6.5"... And we like to see the Jan and Feb 2011 mentions as well. The March 2016 system was rather meh however, at least IMBY. 3".

    I think he meant he only tunes his skis every 5 years because he only skis powder. Not that there's a lack of powder days.

    Is it bad karma to root against some folks getting snow even if it is not for one's own benefit? Not saying I do this, just curious

    Yeah we skinned up at dawn and hit Flying Cloud totally fresh. Then got first tracks on East Glade which was absolutely mint as you mention. Snow had some meat to it and the entire mountain was skiing wonderfully. We're totally set up right now. Keep it coming.

    I'd say maybe 14ish at the Beast? Denser than what we got at the house too, which was a good thing. Now that the mountain is 100% game on bring the fluff.

    Absolutely spectacular this morning

    great point

    finally showed up, but we cannot, and are not complaining. Already exceeded the most bullish model runs, save possibly a few weenie rgems.

    I haven't been able to perceive snowfall intensity differences corresponding to the bands rotating through... not sure if that's good or bad... either way it's been steadily falling fluff for several hours. We have 6" new since last night.

    LOL at that track... but love the 144hr look and we'll take our chances from there
  20. radarman
    Total feathers, as light and fluffy as I can recall.

    Watches up

    I weigh the ICON like seven up, never have never will
  23. radarman
    Northampton restaurants could use the business from ORHers out for a weenie drive
  24. radarman
    Nobody in the valley should be complaining about that run... that's like best case scenario IMO

    I'd hold out for a foot if I were you
