Mont Orford, QB Report: A Tough Start to the Season

Brought to you by 10 Barrel Brewing Report from December 28, 2020 No matter where you are skiing in Quebec right now, this year has gotten off to a rough start. Promising early-season temperature drops turned out to be just an oddity, and temperatures have consistently fluctuated above and below freezing level, bringing snow and often rain into the mix. This […]

12,397′ Dunderberg Peak, CA Conditions Report: Fresh Snow, Good Crowd, No Vis…

We headed up to 12,397′ Dunderberg Peak, CA from Mammoth on Saturday.  We met up with a terrific cast of characters and had an incredible time. About 4-8″ of new snow coated the mountain and a thick fog we hoped would lift clung to the mountain like glue all day. The new snow allowed skinning directly to the summit with no boot-packing. […]

Treble Cone, NZ Conditions Report: Genuine Powder

Athlete Marian Krogh skiing fresh snow in the Saddle Basin

The snow at Treble Cone has been off the charts lately. It’s snowed about 10cm every day for the last week but visibility remained poor until Saturday when the clouds parted and it was a glorious bluebird. The snow has been incredibly light and fluffy – genuine powder which is unusual for New Zealand. All terrain is open at Treble Cone including many areas that didn’t open at all last season. The best skiing on the mountain is […]

Squaw/Alpine Conditions Report: Just Hanging In There…

Yesterday at Squaw Valley was rough. Cold, windy, bumpy, not much groomed, hard, and very little snow. I’d skied Squaw 3 days earlier and it’s amazing how much snow we lost in those three days. The park was holding up well, though. I saw Tanner Hall (at least I think it was him) throwing front flips and 720’s like they were nothing. Shirely lake was skiing OK and Siberia was pretty brutal. I wasn’t brave enough to try Granite Chief. Mountain Run is now melted out and closed so we’re downloading the rest of the season. […]

Mt. Baker Conditions Report: Rain, Rain Go Away

It’s been a wet one in the Cascades but Mt. Baker’s upper snow pack is holding on like a champ and if you got up high earlier in the week you could get some goods. Baker received 2″ of new snow overnight Saturday, 4″ in 24 hours and we’ll take it! With 32″ at Heather Meadows base and 52″ at the base of Pan Dome, Baker got nailed with the warm front and precipitation all week. The temp […]

Mt. Baker Conditions Report: A Much Needed Powder Day

Mt. Baker had a powder day this past week on Monday and it was FUN, all things considered! It’s amazing what a little face shot can do for the soul. The Legendary Banked Slalom – Locals Qualifier also occurred that day, which is always a great day on the hill. New snow and a great event to get our minds off the lack of snow over a long holiday […]

Whistler Conditions Report: Powder is Back

seth slash

Today was super fun up on the mountain. Some new snow and little crowds on Monday made for some nice laps. I went to Blackcomb in the morning as they normally get things open quicker. I went up Glacier and saw a big line up for Spankys as they had not dropped the rope yet. I then decided to traverse over to Chimney and found that not many people had been over their yet. By the time I got back to the top of Glacier Spankys was open and fresh. The snow today was firm dense powder. You would glide on top of it most of the time, but the depth was there when you slashed or came upon a nice wind loaded area […]

Mt Baker Conditions Report: Start Dancing!

Well it’s been a rough start to the season in Washington but blue bird days at the hill prove to always be better than a day in an office. Despite sun, warm temps and rain, Baker is still holding their snowpack with 40″ at Heather Meadows base and 61″ at the base of Pan Dome. Mother Nature is being selfish for us but mid-week we saw sunny, springtime conditions that can sometimes be welcomed […]
