They're already bad around here.Oh and with all that snowmelt, man, mosquitos are gonna be rough this summer.
I caught one in the house two days ago that was the size of a small animal.
I had to use a party cup to catch it.
EPIC ALERT-2-4 FEET OF COLD FRESHIES OVER 7 DAYS.
Summary: Winter has a firm grip on the west at least through the 1st week of April with several storms to chase. These storms are impacting many areas beginning with Oregon, Sierra, and the Northern Rockies, followed by a cold PNW storm that blasts the region with pow you would find in January...

Not that we need any more tourists and I will hate myself for even suggesting this but Bachelor runs to Memorial day. The rideable acreage shrinks considerably after Easter and the afternoon hours are reduced in May due to afternoon temps making it too warm to keep the runs in decent shape, but it's super fun riding in May and then there's a ton of other fun sh!t to do in the afternoons. Last May was non stop pow days but usually it's warm corn epicness off the Summit. The airport is 30 min from town and the resort is another 30 so you'd need a car but there are some surprisingly nice flights from places like Denver direct into Redmond. If you did decide to do this I can suggest some good spots to stay and would be happy to show you around. All that said, we have had a great, consistent season with endless pow days and a deep base but it's not the record setting chaos going on in the Sierra and Wasatch.
ay and yer a trig cove, @Kento so i know i don't need to remind you of this but....
you do know that they are going to grow up and pay you back with interest, right?
Can confirm. They learn from the best and then take it to the next level.
I am in deep, deep sh!t.
Bunch of kooks sitting down right in front of the liftline entrance, practically blocking everything. I see my son hauling ass straight towards them. He is still learning to control his speed so I am kind of cringing a little bit at the potential collision. No, he turns last second and sprays a whole group on the way into the liftline. Not huge but they got a dusting. He couldn't stop laughing the whole way through the liftline: "I sprayed 4 of them that time, Dad!".
So it begins. But it is of course also up to me to advise him on technique on maximizing spray.
Just wait until he figures out to stack snow on skis/snowboards to use for snowballs from the lift.
Taos next week. So wicked stocked. Cant remember the last time I left town, let alone when I last took a vacation. Adv purchase on lift tix (>72hrs) = hundo per dia and lodging the last week they’re open was discounted to the point where I’m shacking up slopeside. Wish it was the Blake but I’m not @Subway.
Because danger is my business, if it’s warm enough/the snow gets soft I will be exploring the legendary steeps there.

This is what staggers me. I don't consider myself experienced in the backcountry whatsoever but EVEN SO.
Why not divert enough so that you don't traverse across an obviously sketchy spot?
And if you are navigating a sketchy spot, why wouldn't you cross one at a time?
Maybe they at least have steak in their pockets to help the rescue dogs find their bodies faster?
Mammoth, wow, records falling everywhere.
Main Lodge will go over 700" no doubt.
Careful what you wish for.
It'll be interesting to see how the Owens Valley handles all of it when it starts melting in a month.
