SunSurfer Posted March 5, 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 Hope it stays cold for you. It was extra warmth at sea that put all that moisture in those clouds that then fell as snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gawdzira Posted March 5, 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 I keep trying to time my schedule and the Cal Trans warnings keep stopping me. I was speaking with a neighbor last night who was one of the last cars over 50 leaving Tahoe last week on Thursday. His story is scary as F. Head out the window once his wiper blades froze. A Tesla ahead of him with a young kid sitting on the window to guide the driver. He hit the mountain at one point after the plow ahead of him scraped down to the black ice.

But these people with their average +300",s of snowfall should be required to pick up their season passes to their fancy white and fluffy resorts a the bottom of Zero-G...on a weekend. Then MAYBE they will understand... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 So many atmospheric rivers this winter!! Utah was serious powder. I have never seen the highways shutdown so often. Finally drove down an empty I80 (no big trucks allowed) when it opened at midnight Monday morning. I love my Bridgestone Blizzaks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if you'll pardon me, I have to pack for a forced week in Floriduh with my hot-blooded eyetalian wife. Gulf coast of course so half the golf courses are under repair and the red tide is keeping people out of the water. I'm probably gonna melt to the tarmac once I hit that godawful heat. I'm a bit on edge if you can't tell. 11 hours ago, Odd Job said: I'M MOVING TO CALIFORNIA! TO HELL WITH INCOME TAX! j/k I don't think it's a tax per say, more like they just take it by force any chance they get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastsiiiide Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) Mammoth has the deepest snow in the world this season (Dave McCoy was no dummy when he chose it!). Too much pow actually *is* a real problem when the mountain can no longer function. The top of Mammoth reportedly has snowpack 5ft deeper than even Palisades, not that you can get to it any time soon. They're struggling just to keep the parking lots open, let alone keep the lifts running even on the lower mountain, do avalanche mitigation, etc... Even if you can get there between storms there's no guarantee you won't spend half your day standing around waiting for lifts to open, possibly while stranded at the bottom of a lift somewhere when a sudden blizzard kicks up and even the buses can't run to get you back to your car (ask me how I know). Sadly our snow has been just for looking at for much too long this season, such a strange problem to have. Please, come and take some of it home with you, I want to go boarding. sources: https://www.snow-forecast.com/overviews/picks https://www.onthesnow.com/california/mammoth-mountain-ski-area/historical-snowfall pic: Main Lodge at NOON, ppl stranded. Day was supposed to be 'mostly clear'. Even the mammoth statue in the background looks desperate.

When we have had heavy/deep winters the Mtn. won't open or opens late which = I get fewer days on the Mtn. and even fewer Hard Charging Carving days! Looking at the forecast we got Another 10 Days Of Pow Coming and I'm getting the Hell out of here and going back east tomorrow to get a break from the daily shoveling and whiteouts and get some Hard Charging Carving days in! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
