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 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 […] Weather WeatherBrains | January 15, 2014 0 Comments
January in Japan Conditions Report = Spines & Pillows January is the time to be in Japan. It snows and it snow and it snows. Except for this January. This January we actually got a few sunny days in the beginning of January and we hit the road and found what we were looking for: great terrain covered in snow. That’s what we’re all looking for, right? […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | January 9, 2014 7 Comments
Revelstoke Ski Resort, B.C. Bluebird Powder Day Revelstoke ski resort, British Columbia, Canada. Obviously, this was an unreal day with great powder snow everywhere. This was also the day that the FWT 2013 Revelstoke stop went down in January 2013. Bluebird. SnowBrains | April 18, 2013 0 Comments
