snowboardfast Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Just wondering how the conditions are at abasin since Monday? Just wondering if the snow stayed frozen and hard due to lack of sun and cold temps? Conditions were good on Monday due to sun and warm temps. I would think it wouldn't be good again until sunday when it is supposed to be sunny again. I might go up thurs or fri if I get a positive report.

Thor VonRippington Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Don't bother today... it's socked in and snaining at 9300ft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowboardfast Posted May 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 thanks for the reply! You just saved me 132 miles in the car for nothing. I might go up Friday but Sunday looks very promising. After that I will be going up on Sundays only for the rest of the season. Keep me posted as to when you will be going up again and if you think the weather will be good.

*Ace* Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Is snaining the same as sleeting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor VonRippington Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Is snaining the same as sleeting?Definitely not! Sleet is small ice particles falling from the sky. Snain is wet snow mixed with rain... can happen simultaneously or intermittent between the the two. Question is... at what point is sleet no longer sleet and actually hail? Does size matter?

Blue Bird Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 sounds like something that would happen on either coast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowSpeedster Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Definitely not! Sleet is small ice particles falling from the sky. Snain is wet snow mixed with rain... can happen simultaneously or intermittent between the the two. Question is... Does size matter? I asked my wife that question...she mumbled something about a squirrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shrederjen Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 The Basin was Sic **** this morning..... Spent 4 hours in the Zuma Bowl, on my Madd 170. I can not say how much fun it was..... :D It was kinda funny having skiers, boarders, and tele folks asking how the snow was on 'THAT' board..... I held my own and had a blast. Will be out for my final day tomorrow, in blue bird skys. Come on out and play. Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowboardfast Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Will try to come up Sunday Mothers day. Will be riding the Donek blade if it is groomed but might ride the Dupraz if there is any powder left! It will be a good way to finish off my vacation week.
