Thanks. I was thinking specifically about Lake Powell. Not much chance of three years of the same conditions with no outflow to get it to a reasonable elevation. If it ever does get back to a reasonable level I can’t recommend a two week trip there enough. Three weeks would be better. Best non surf trip I’ve ever made. Great for kids. @Kento would jizz himself over the geology.Does he have a burning man name? I heard all the cool kids at burning man use different names on the playa bro.
Colorado's healthy snowpack promises to offer some relief for strained water supplies
Colorado's snowpack has piled up to its normal peak ahead of usual, and the healthy supply promises some relief to receding reservoirs.coloradosun.com
Snow looks good in pictures so thanks for them. It’s 85 with slack wind here at 6:25 pm.
IKON has completely ruined Crystal here in Washington. People are fleeing to other resorts because it’s such a sh!t show. Fk IKON, Alterra, Vail, etc.
Ifn ya got
ca
ifn ya got a choice go for the dry sugar trflon of Utah vs the heavy wet sticky of Callie. Its a no brainer.
Then you might be able to make sense of this? I couldn’t.

I love mammoth and riding in the sierras but always questioned anyone who got on a plane to come here as a destination unless it’s for late spring skiing when almost everything else that isn’t glacial is closed.
my favorite thing in the skiing universe is moguls turned into big piles of mashed potatoes by the late spring afternoon sun
smearing those piles is deeply satisfying
Mammoth is at least a good mountain. Likewise with Squaw so I understand people traveling out there, especially from midwest/east coast.
The one that cracks me up is Northstar after going for the first time in my life this season as had Epic Pass. Proper surgical strike so negotiated the crowds OK but how can they try to market that place as a destination resort? Terrain-wise, it is a low-tier SoCal mountain; kind of like the Linda Mar/County Line of skiing/snowboarding.
That's why I've always loved mountains like Kirkwood - it's all about the terrain. Which makes the recent FOB/kook influx even more curious. Pretty much have to dawn patrol for weekend parking now. BUT most of the people coming up are beginner/intermediates with no hope of progression so a lot of the good sh!t stays untracked for longer because the more advanced lifts are empty. Interesting quandary.
BTW, sounding like upcoming years, we are going to be fleeced on parking fees. Starting on weekends/holidays but it'll naturally extend to every day. Once corporations get a toehold of greed in, they bring the whole body in. Too bad we can't decapitate corporations with 4-5 figure percentage tax increases when they get too big for their britches. Lift ticket prices have definitely outpaced inflation.
Buckets get thrown onto unsuspecting interlopers aka my kids.
I can’t either. I was there in 1969 and went from the dam all the way past Hite Marina up until the Colorado River, the full length, with no problem. Looking at historical elevation data from then to now confuses me.Then you might be able to make sense of this? I couldn’t.
ay and yer a trig cove, @Kento so i know i don't need to remind you of this but....Buckets get thrown onto unsuspecting interlopers aka my kids.
you do know that they are going to grow up and pay you back with interest, right?

They filled my boots to the top with snow while I was trying to help them with their gear and then when changing, threw an arsenal of snowballs at me - the little shits!
Highway 89 near Emerald Bay, Lake Tahoe.
So much snow, even the big snow plows can't clear it.

Ebbetts PassIt's crazy how much snow there is. I wonder if it will linger year round or close enough to it. Can't imagine Tioga Pass opening at all this year.
Oh and with all that snowmelt, man, mosquitos are gonna be rough this summer.
Sonora Pass
Tioga Pass
Probably going to be closed until beginning of July.
