Mt Baker New Year’s Conditions Report: 10″ on the Way Early in the week we had some beautiful (somewhat rare) blue bird days that remained cold so the powder from the prior week stuck around and welcomed skiers and riders to the New Year right. Lots of hikers were visible from chair 8 on the Shuksan Arm earning their turns in the untouched pow. The Canyon and the natural half pipe were open which made for some added fun. It warmed up later in the week but then started snowing and it’s currently dumping. Fingers crossed the freezing levels don’t get too low next week. Here’s to a happy and healthy new year with lots of pow! […] Conditions Report Naomi VanPatten | January 4, 2015 0 Comments
Winter Park, CO Conditions Report: The Return of Pow November in Colorado was a tale of two halves.It truly was in like a lamb, out like a lion. December seems to be shaping up the same way. After 12 days of no significant snowfall, a southwest flow hit the San Juan’s late on Saturday. By Saturday night, the flow shifted to northwest and the whole state was getting the goods. By early Monday morning, 18″ had fallen on Berthoud Pass. After skiing the pass on Sunday, we thought Mary Jane’s glades would be prime on Tuesday.

Lake Tahoe Snowfall Totals & Photos: Up to 23″ of New Snow Lake Tahoe just got it’s first real storm of the 2014/15 winter season. It was a wet one with snow levels hovering around 7,500-feet for the most part. We had a Winter Storm Warning from 4pm Tuesday until 4am today. Sugar Bowl is the big winner again with 23″ of snow from this storm and shockingly, Kirkwood got the lowest snowfall numbers. Kirkwood got mostly rain and only ended up with 8 inches from this storm. We skied Squaw yesterday and it was raining to the top. Looks like today will be about the same as yesterday. We were soaked after about 2 hours of skiing. […] SnowBrains | December 4, 2014 1 Comment
Squaw Valley Weekend Report: 1st Sneaker Powder Day of the Year? I love a good sneaker pow day. Sometimes it’s raining at the base, sometimes the snow is slushy and wet, sometimes the wind is so strong it scours whole faces—but a sneaker pow day is all the more enjoyable because it’s unexpected. Most people stay home. Conditions seem sub-optimal. But the actual skiing? It ends up being holy-f***-fun. That didn’t happen today. It started snowing in the valley last night around 1am and by morning there were accumulations of about 1-3 inches of slushy snow on the ground. That slushy snow quickly melted as it began to rain. The rain […] Conditions Report Guest Author | November 30, 2014 1 Comment
Squaw Cushing Crossing + Conditions Update | Photo Tour Spring Corn, large swaths of dirt, closed lifts and the Cushing Crossing sums up the current conditions at Squaw Valley. Valiant knights (such as the one pictured above), bravely hurtled themselves through the piercing wind toward the pond risking life and limb for the sole purpose of our entertainment. And before the festivities kicked off there was plenty of ripping […] Eric Bryant | April 14, 2013 2 Comments
Squaw Conditions Report: KT’s Last Weekend | Photo Tour It’s that time of year when Squaw’s impressive fleet of chairs begins to diminish at a rapid pace, with the lower mountain lifts dropping like flies. While the skiing is still holding up decently well, the rate of snow loss is rather alarming. Red Dog and Squaw Creek are done for the year, and KT will be soon to follow.
