Randy T. Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Any updates on who plans to come up? Forecast does not look ideal, and I'm considering riding at Kirkwood on Sunday instead. Saturday: A 50 percent chance of snow showers, mainly after 11am. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 37. Breezy, with a southwest wind between 20 and 25 mph, with gusts as high as 35 mph. Saturday Night: Snow. Low around 22. Windy, with a southwest wind between 30 and 35 mph, with gusts as high as 55 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. Sunday: Snow showers likely, mainly before 11am. Cloudy, with a high near 27. Chance of precipitation is 70%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawndoggy Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 More to the point, June and Mammoth are going to get more snow. We all like to carve but being at the right place at the right time for a powder day is a special thing. Nobody's gonna complain if you guys stay in Mono County to ride the soft stuff. (and that's what I'd do!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyj Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 I'm out:mad:My son is surfing if ISFs at Oceanside this weekend and Monday. Since my wife can't be there to support the manchild and his team, I have elected myself to do so---its the right thing to do. Sorry to miss the event.

shawndoggy Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I reiterate... stay at June on Saturday night if it looks hairy: A WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. * SNOW IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN IN THE SIERRA BY LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON...AND CONTINUE THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING WHILE SPREADING ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF MONO COUNTY. A PERIOD OF HEAVY SNOWFALL IS POSSIBLE FROM LATE SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MID MORNING ON SUNDAY. * SNOW LEVELS: INITIALLY ABOVE 7500 FEET...BUT DROPPING RAPIDLY TO THE LOWER VALLEYS BY LATE SATURDAY EVENING. * SNOW AMOUNTS: 1 TO 2 FEET OF SNOWFALL IS POSSIBLE BY MIDDAY SUNDAY IN THE SIERRA ABOVE 7500 FEET...WITH 6 TO 12 INCHES POSSIBLE DOWN TO 5500 FEET NEAR THE HIGHWAY 395 CORRIDOR. LIGHTER SNOW ACCUMULATIONS MAY OCCUR IN THE LOWER VALLEYS OF EASTERN MONO COUNTY. * WINDS: SOUTHWEST WINDS 15 T0 25 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 45 MPH. GUSTS UP TO 95 MPH OVER THE HIGHER RIDGES. * IMPACTS: THE COMBINATION OF HEAVY SNOW AND GUSTY WIND WILL PRODUCE SEVERAL HOURS OF RAPID SNOW ACCUMULATIONS AND NEAR ZERO VISIBILITY...ESPECIALLY OVER THE PASSES LATE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO</pre> EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. </pre> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekdut Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I'll be at June tomorrow, but it looks quite unlikely that any of us from the Mammoth area can safely make it up to Rose. (Not that the 2-4 feet of predicted snow is going to make us sad or anything :) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekdut Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 It was a pow weekend for sure, and a carving session was not in the cards unfortunately. I met George briefly at the top of 4 on Saturday, but not really anyone else. It was an unreal bluebird day on Monday. I had first tracks the entire day at Mammoth. :) Next year again perhaps? This time, we can probably get things started early and involve June Mt management to do some of the work (and pick up the liability :rolleyes: ). The GM Carl was open to something like that.

Add me to the list who wants an organized SNES. I'll help out anyway I can to make it happen. I hope there's a demo tent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, I'm sorry I missed out on Monday's pow day. I had a safety audit at work and couldn't take the time off. Big Bear got around 3" on Sunday :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeS Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 There were four of us carving at June, Niel, Kerry,Ilia(on a Prior)and myself, we just weren't all together. Just wish I could see better with the snow and wind. I almost stayed Sunday night but couldn't blow off work. I knew Monday was going to be an awesome day. There was over a foot of snow on top of my car from Saturday night to Sunday afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Frank, on Monday I think I saw you as I went up 12. I spent most of my time out by 13/14, and got 5th chair when they opened 14. It was excellent! One of the best pow days ever, mostly due to the bluebird conditions and low crowds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
