definitely thankful for him raising me a skier. He’s way cooler now that I don’t live with him!

50-60 ppl in total.

Ungroomed: rain crust on the surface only, on top of 8-10.” Catches your boots if you break through so a little tricky. Groomed: Very nice early but starting to really firm up now. Base is locked in and definitely the best coverage they’ve had since opening.

My father is there at the private rental right now I’ll get some condition report intel.

well there is one silver lining, warm air holds more moisture. Precip and moisture levels are on the rise in all storms so the mega dumps with thaws in between seem like a good bet to continue. Thinking of that 2 footer in December, in fact every December for the past 4 or so years has had one...

There’s definitely a nice base finally that’s for sure. Been quite a long time since trees were in, perhaps some sustained cold and a couple shots of snow over the next week could get us there with a nice bulletproof base underneath?

I’d gladly pay that and then some for guided backcountry turns. That whole experience is something you can’t really put a price on. (RA if you ever want to make some extra cash you know who to call next cycle). Charging an astronomical premium to compete with crowds for easy access pow will all...

Dam, Hunter never looked so good.

I’ll never forget Old Rip and the onslaught of snow on the Rio Grande.

Wow looking WAY better than I anticipated. Could be in fine shape after this week.

Oh my

Not 100% open but 100% fantastic snow everywhere that is open

I wish that wave wasn’t so tiny. I’ve heard it’s fun but not quite up to the scale as some of the other wavepools that have popped up in recent years around the country and world.

@JTG Yes you’re 100% right. The energy and push in a wave is more closely related to interval/period (synonyms) but swell height still matters in determining how a wave feels the bottom and is forced to break. Bathymetry and shape of the seafloor is your next lesson.

Desert pow and bluebird skies

Any pics? Was watching that cycle on the radar and it looked epic in the southwest

Some of us are visual learners Harvey it’s ok. In any case I’ve certainly surfed more than skied this January but that’s about to change finally.

@D.B. Cooper @JTG It is the period of the swell otherwise known as interval. Essentially it means wavelength as seen in the diagram above. 20 second swell period means 20 seconds in between wave crests in the open ocean. The height of the swell matters but the swell period matters a fair bit...

I know the birthday double was last week, I should have included a “belated” in that comment haha. I definitely owe you a round or two next time we’re at the lodge bar together!

Happy Birthday Harvey! Seems like New York skiing is doing just fine after all. We’re making the most of it at least.
