However it is not hard to make the best of soft snow and goggle tan weather. After the last storm there was a nice coat of new snow and patrol dropped the ropes on 100% of terrain.

Crystal Mountain Conditions Report | Corn, Chalk and Chowda Though the northwest is still hungry for more snow, the spring-like conditions at Crystal are surprisingly rad! Near the top of the resort, north-facing slopes still have some protected, chalky snow, allowing for smeary, fast turns. Once the sun heats up the steeper south-facing runs, the slush is easy to mash through and there are plenty of shrubs and rocks to jump over if that’s your thing. As always, the groomers are speedy and consistent with plenty of small rollers to pop off. Rachel Delacour | March 8, 2015 0 Comments

The outlook meteorologists at the Climate Prediction Center are gaining confidence in this pattern change, and it even looks like it could be colder (i.e. more snow) than previous storms. Keep your fingers crossed! – NOAA Sacramento […] SnowBrains | February 20, 2015 3 Comments
