There's snow in the northern mountains but the coverage isn't quite what ya need at the resort for open terrain. Snow making is crushing what they can but we really need some natural help.

Hopefully a pattern shift at the end of this week? Sun angle is super low and days are short so we are losing much snow every day. We just need help.

Ski shop has been dead. I need snow for mental and financial help.

Man, I feel ya. I couldn't ski at all last year due to Dr grounding me for illness. I'm all better now (PTL) and bought a midweek pass to MT Snowbowl for the first time in a few years. Two seasons ago, I got in nearly 30 days, but didn't buy a pass. Now I have a pass and there's no snow and a chance I won't be able ski much due to some other shite.

Aaand, to boot (pardon the expression) I bought new Rosi Super 7s, AT bindings, boots, skins, and new ski wear right before I got sick. I haven't even mounted the bindings!

I realize these are white-people problems in extremis, but...

Drive north baw. I talked to JH peeps yesterday and they said they plan to be 100% on terrain by first week in January. They are 100% on lifts as of last weekend.


ETA: I am way down this glove rabbit hole right now and way overthinking this purchase. I need help bros. I want warmth and dexterity. I despise bulk in every way.
