west carven Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 snowreport: tue sep 24, 2019 howdy all a few days ago it was really nice warm summer days and Monday was the autumn equinox and today a little cooler. forecast in the coming days is some rain and snow in the higher elevations. I am still hoping for warmer days and more paddling in the river with the fall colors. the colors are just starting to turn and this early cold might spoil the beautiful colors and turns things brown. I am starting to think about riding and thinking about all the gear set-ups... 73 more days... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

west carven Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 snowreport: mon oct 28, 2019 howdy all started to snow very early this morning and it is now 11:11am and there is 3 inches here in town. the wind is picking up and blowing the snow off the trees. heard a few weeks ago that the humps for the new alpine slide on chair 6 will be left there and covered up. seems stupid and we will see how it will change the run. chair 6 is a good warm up and test gear set-up area, but not enough pitch to really get going... today's high is 32 degrees and tonight is forecasted at 6 degrees and tomorrows high is 28. burrrrr!... 39 more days... yeah! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

west carven Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) snowreport: fri dec 06, 2019 howdy all opening day!!!... great spring skiing... it has been very warm this past week with some rain here in town. foggy halfway up and slowly lifts then good vis after 11am. not too busy early and crowds slowly builds. it really felt like a spring day, the snow was getting slushy and the high traffic areas was getting packed down like an ice rink. my first run with my squirrely little board I felt a little uneasy with the old straps and felt like my set-up was going to explode into little pieces. got comfortable after a few runs and worked the old legs. only chair 7 and 5 and t-bar2 was open on the backside and chair 3 on the front. snow was wet and kinda heavy and I did a couple endos in the heavy powder. coverage is very thin and there was alot of pine tops sticking out on the lower sections. everybody was in a great mood didn't seem to care about the crappy conditions, but just glad to be making turns. tomorrow is the first weekend and I might stay home to avoid the crowds. we should get some snow Saturday night so Sunday might be a go... good to be making turns again... rode the amp5 from 9 till 1...

west carven Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 snowreport: sun dec 08, 2019 howdy all stayed home and slept all day yesterday and did not know anything about the condition on the hill. got up very early this morning and heard some dripping outside so wasn't to psyched to go up. my alarm went off at 7am and checked the webcams and it looked foggy and soggy so back to sleep. got up about 9:30am and it was dumping icy rain and trying to snow with just a dusting then the sun comes out and starts to melt the snow. it was looking good so up to the hill and got on snow at noon. there were lots of people downloading as I was going up. the snow all chopped up but was good and dry and there was still some good patches of untracked pow. the clouds cleared and it was blue sky most of the afternoon, it turned out to be a really nice day. the new snow covered the pine tops, but still had to watch for them. the snow is still soft and dug into some deep trenches, it will be awhile till the carving gets good... today was fun just cruising around... rode the amp5 from 12 till 4...

west carven Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 snowreport: mon dec 09, 2019 howdy all no new snow and yesterdays pow got groomed down into nice smooth cords. should have brought the hardboots cause I was pushing the little board to it's limit. high overcast and a little fog on the summit with slightly cooler temps made for a great groomer day. still on the backside, but it is plenty for this out of shape old man. took a long break and chatted with the regulars whom I haven't seen since last season. was a fun day and took it easy and made some good turns. forecast is some snow on Wednesday and more on Thursday. we need three to four feet to open the frontside... rode the amp5 from 9 till 1...

west carven Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 snowreport: tue dec 10, 2019 howdy all crap! my right ankle got swollen last night and could not put any pressure on it. thought it might be gout again, but yesterday there was hardly anyone on the hill so carved hard on the little board and hyper extended my right foot on heelside. on heelside my toes are bent back near my shin and there was a few times I lost an edge and my right foot gets pulled in funny ways. my boot is a noodle so there is no support... I am sure today was a great carving day and I was going to ride the hardboots. forecast is a little snow on Wednesday and more on Thursday... feeling better and can walk on it... will rest tomorrow and hope I can ride on Thursday's pow day... did not ride today... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuban Carving Gooding Posted December 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Hi Dan it would be great to see you again. As always WTF has no backing from Whitefish. They have good deals $89 for lift lodging and breakfast. Check it out here https://skiwhitefish.com/specials-packages/ You can also go higher end lodging.

Dan Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Thanks Cuban! $89 for lift/lodging/breakfast is cheaper than a day at Meadows... I need to see how January shapes up but I have a shot at being able to make my second WTF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dredman Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 I will be in the area January 23-28 with time split between Turner and Whitefish. Most likely avoiding Whitefish’s weekend traffic. Looking forward to seeing you all! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
west carven Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 snowreport: wed dec 18, 2019 howdy all well, back on snow, chair 1 opened on Saturday and chair 2 opened on Monday and no new snow for awhile and the runs are littered with pine tops and bushes sticking out. the runs on the front really should not be open. took it easy and rode the backside. went down silvertip and it was not groomed, (wtf)… lazy bastards!... we need a really good dump of at least a foot of snow to make things good on the front. the forecast is some snow late Thursday night and Friday and thru the weekend with slightly warmer temps with rain/snow in the valley. so far not the best and a very slow start. I did not miss much this past week cause the conditions are still very early. my foot feels a lot better and need go up and get the rest of me into shape... made some good turns... rode the 165amt from 9 till 1...

west carven Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 snowreport: thu dec 19, 2019 howdy all lightly snowing all morning and foggy. colder temps with a light wind. I am staying away from chair 2 and did a few on chair 6 till chair 1 opens then only stayed on the backside. the fog slowly moves lower through out the morning. snow was chewed up funky and bumpy with some new mixed in. not the best conditions and just making laps to work the legs. fog get lower near the village and it is time to call it. forecast is a good dump tonight... we will see... rode the 165amt from 9 till 1...

west carven Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 snowreport: fri dec 20, 2019 howdy all seven inch powder day!, yeah right... "worst powder day ever". with a huge pacific front moving thru it brings the warm humid air. it was lightly raining at the village in the morning. the huge powder hounds gathered early and it was very busy. the first run down ed's was a huge disappointment, heavy wet and sticky snow made it a challenge to get down. the snow was so bad I was thinking if I should call it after the first run. thought the summit and backside might be better, but it was not. did one run down the backside and it was a little better, but with the huge crowds I decided to call it. going down toni matt was a struggle with the fog and the snow... warmer temps and the holiday crowds this weekend will keep me home this weekend... rode the 152wfs from 9 till 11...

west carven Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 snowreport: sun dec 22, 2019 howdy all feels like a nice spring day. super high overcast in the morning then the sun comes out by noon and it is a beautiful day. the snow conditions is another story, bad grooming and firm ice on chair 2 and lower mountain. the backside was good, but we are really hurting for snow. the look and feel of the big really feels like the end of the season. I only did the first two hours then the sun came out and I don't know how soft/slushy it got in the afternoon. should be firm ice in the morning. the crowds slowly builds and it was time to leave... rode the 157fp from 9 till 11...
