Alta Conditions Report – January Doldrums

Whelp, there’s no way to beat around the bush on this one. We are in a deep dry spell here in Alta. The only thing keeping us going is a good base from a productive December and early January, and knowing how rough California has it (sorry). Words like chalky and buffed-out have replaced words like powder and blower. And with no burning need for first chair, the bars are full from apres to closing time. We did receive a couple very small storms. One dropped a couple inches of grauple with some wind that made for […]

January Looks Bleak for Tahoe | Heat Wave Coming to CA…

Above is a shot of a 180+ km Asian Jet coming across the Pacific for Tuesday January 21st. Notice how it doesn’t make it past 160W latitude as it weakens. This is effectively pressing the ridge right on top of us sending California into a heat wave! We are going to have an inversion set up above 6,500′ through Friday at least. Highs in the mid 50’s for the Sierra valleys and 40’s at the 10,000′ level (Highs will be up to 76F in Sacramento this week), with overnight lows remaining above freezing on the mountains. So much for the really good […]
