Revelstoke, B.C. Conditions Report: Moist Westerly

The wind usuallyย blows from the southwest in Revelstoke.ย Sometimes that wind gets moist. Really moist. And it starts dumping white stuff out of the sky for threeย days or something. It’s called a moist westerly.ย Moist, and westerly. Coming from the great, big, hyper-moist Pacific Ocean.

Alta Condition Report – ALTA DELIVERS!

poo! [Photo: Teague Holmes, Skier: Aaron Rice]

Better late than never. With only 5 days till closing we received our biggest single storm of the season! With weird springtime dynamics, lake effect, and a shallow storm, total snowfall amounts ranged from 20″ – 39″ with most places inbounds at Alta on the high end! The storm came in hot with a good ol’ fashioned dust storm and a 25 degree temperature drop in the matter of a couple hours. Then the guns turned on. All systems go. We had lake effect, orographic enhancement, a touch of daytime heating enhancement and a good dose of Alta magic.

Alta Conditions Report – 81″ of Snow in Ten Days!

Alta ended 2014 on a high note! A series of storms dropped 81″ of successively lighter snow, leaving us with some epic (and I don’t use this term lightly) powder skiing. The storms lifted and we are now in a period of high pressure, but there is still great snow out there and with cold temps the skiing is still fantastic. I won’t be to wordy with this post, and I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. Enjoy! Midstorm riding conditions were as deep as they get. Bluebird Wasatch powder skiing the way it should […]

Stowe, VT Conditions Report: Lake-Effect Snow Rocks Vermont

The skiing at Stowe this morning was deep! About 8 inches of fresh on a few inches from the past few days. The snow was light and fluffy. In honesty there was a bit of crust underneath the new snow, but it was still the best turns on the East coast of the season. We fell asleep on Tuesday night with the plan to do a quick dawn patrol at Stowe. The forecast was for 1-3 inches and our hopes were pretty low, but we wanted to get out and see the sunrise and move our legs. We woke up this morning at 5:30 am to 3 inches at the house. We got excited and pulled into the dark and unplowed Stowe parking lot 15 minutes later. […]
