Thanks for leaving the powder higher up untouched. I am hoping to check it out myself soon :)

you got all the snow down there. PNW is warm and dry due to El Nino. Looks like a great day for skiing. Envious!

by was on Jan 25, 2010 at 08:01:00 pm

@was -- yep, we'll take as much of this El Nino snow as we can get. This most recent series was actually also quite cold for Tahoe standards...go figure.

Hopefully the dry spell ends up North for you soon. Where do you go for resort skiing up there? Mount Hood?

by pablo on Jan 26, 2010 at 01:18:18 am

used to ski at Hood, but for the last few years have been going to Bachelor in Central Oregon. Higher alt and more eastern location = better snow and terrain.

no pictures of you sitting around at the snack bar eating pastries?
You must have turned the GPS off for that part.

Have you guys seen this trip: http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=473757. It's a couloir near Chamonix... Does Squaw have similar routes? Or should we go to Mt Tallac to find these types of couloirs?

Is anyone skiing today? Should be a great day! Unfortunately I am in the office...

by joost on Jan 14, 2010 at 01:26:00 pm

tomorrow!

by was on Jan 14, 2010 at 06:07:49 pm

It's plenty cold here at the Michigan whether survey station. Conditions have been cold, with decent snowfall. We're still waiting for some mountains to show up though. Changing contours might be expected during the next ice age. More to come...

I'm honored to be invited to join this impressive group. I guess that you felt that you might need some adult supervision. Skiing was surprisingly good when we left Squaw on Thursday once the fog had lifter. especially on KT. The forecaster storm for mid next week could be what we are waiting for and I plan to be there. Let me know if any of you can make it.

What's the slowest chair at Squaw?

Granite Chief?

Squaw Creek?

Cornice II?

by pablo on Jan 08, 2010 at 08:07:20 pm

I don't know... you tell me! I guess I am more interested in going down fast ;)

Looks like you skied a bit further than I did, I'll blame it on pulling my hip flexor mid day...

by chris on Jan 08, 2010 at 07:58:10 pm

Sure, blame it on your hip.... let's meet up on the slopes soon :)

by joost on Jan 08, 2010 at 08:04:30 pm

This trip I posted below was about 1 year ago... time to get myself back up there!!! Looks like there may be a good dump coming mid next week... Fingers crossed!

Cool, can't wait to get out... hopefully next week!

by joost on Jan 08, 2010 at 07:44:06 pm

ouch!!!!!

by was on Jan 09, 2010 at 10:31:54 am

Well done Chris. Hope the leg is once again firmly attached. Quite a lot of skiing in the Lakes this year but most of it ski-mountaineering by individuals as we don't get enough consistent snow to make Cumbria a major winter sports resort. There are only two small seasonal ski tows.

Thanks for the vote on my walks.

cheers

It was a bit icy at some spots, but pretty good overall. Especially really good firm snow at Granite Chief!
