how sweet is this? (yeah you want to look, its snow related and its a stoke) - Page 2

I was wrong, the second half of this storm was in fact a jackpot.  Wow.  At Mt. Bachelor 35'' in 24hr, 55" in 72hr.  All this snow has even caused them to shut down for the day.  Sounds like a mix of 5 feet of un-plowed snow in the parking lot/radio communication station buried/ too much snow built up on the lifts/ and extreme avalanche danger.   And there is still feet of dryer snow in the forecast.  This weekend is going to be awwwwwesome.  Hip Hip

I still don't trust Utah at the moment due to lack of base.  Headed to Seattle.

So, the question is will it mostly be drifted windpacked?

Quote: Mt. Bachelor weather:

Current Weather - Snowing heavily. Mid-mountain wind is estimated at 35-50 mph with occasional higher gusts.

Snow Surface - Extremely deep snow. Educate yourself about Tree Well Safety... with the deep snow, Tree Wells are becoming a hidden danger.

Northern Colorado looking much better over the weekend.  A foot or more in many places.

and the dead bear carcasses littered around Vail...

snow should come with a choking hazard warning on the lift ticket.
