Tough call hmmm, storm ski day or breezy leftovers?

@Harvey trying to decide which day, in discussions with the crew currently. What are you thinking?

6" surprise at platt yesterday. Should be a classic east coast skiing weekend with pockets of wind-scoured ice, hardpack, pow, and deeper drifts all at the same time

Looks like our reverse jinxing and cursing the end of the season worked.

Needed to blast the car AC just now. Yikes. Never seen a season go from pow to brown faster than this.

I was not lying about neck-deep landings :oops: Buddy skiing really is so important. Check the video below from last week Wolf Creek Overhead Pow

Bananas! I was probably twiddling my thumbs in class, blissfully unaware that this was going on.

We were taken through the coyote park area on several runs. We always wound up right at the Charity Jane lift thankfully, but not without a dozen yards or so of skating/walking. I can't imagine how difficult it would be without the connector lift. I mentioned to the couple we were skiing with...

Sometimes like in history, weather repeats itself.

Thanks AZ! The couple we wound up skiing with were actually recent transplants from Flagstaff, giving us the whole spiel on the southwest. They had a hard time leaving AZ but couldn't beat 500+" a year at Wolf Creek Pass. It really is a special area of the country but very interesting how much...

@MarzNC I remember the kachina lift being fairly new during a 2016 trip there. Must have been built about a year or 2 prior. It's funny though even though the gapers can get up, they don't venture too far from the on-piste trails right under the lift. The side they ski at Wolf Creek remains...

Looking epic up there, Jay always holding the goods. Winter ain't done just yet! Check in the trees off alligator alley if the flyer was closed yesterday should be some leftovers hanging around

Of course happy to spread the stoke! Yes it was definitely a mountain in which you have to know the layout to really get after it. There are plenty of flat spots you don’t really want to run into since it’s only 1600 vert. Connecting all that vert in 1 line is definitely a challenge. Thankfully...

@Cornhead the locals were all saying the gates to hike up the ridges were the Texan gates because it filters them out none of them venture up there

51” in 3 days is the official number recorded by the folks at Wolf Creek in the Southern Colorado San Juans. About a week before the storm, the opportunity to chase weather out west began to materialize with a week off of work and cheap flights. Based on previous snowfall patterns this season...

Flights still super cheap out west, if there was ever a grand opportunity for chasing cross country this might be it. Pres weekend timing doesn't help for the pnw but again, don't sleep on the 4 corners and most of colorado midweek.

If you can clear the border yea the Gespie area is looking primed for nukage. Would be going to BC instead of CO if it weren't so hectic.

My bad. Being closest to ABQ I just immediately think of it as the SW. But now that I look at it, most of colorado looks decently snowy next week. Maybe not epic dump but at least it's something!

Don’t sleep on the southwest. A buddy and I are gambling on wolf creek next week. They also caught that last mega dump that hit taos and a similar pattern remains in place. Sw flow Monday through Friday bodes well with both Euro and gfs models this morning in good agreement. We’re going for it...

What do we think does the high pressure out west finally break down over the second half of Feb bringing some much-needed moisture in? I'm thinking about a strike mission to anywhere in the country next week with very cheap flights to the PNW or the southwest. Tough to get a read on conditions...
