Thats an excellent resource.
Give me a hurricane, and Im comfortable. This snow shite is still new. Dont have those instincts yet.

Why do you guys that live somewhere with no mountains pay for Open Snow? It isnt like you are going to take off work the next day to fly up to ski a powder day then fly home.
If I fly out to SLC or Summit County or even up in Canada I have multiple resorts I could ski. I have used opensnow to pivot to better snow or pivot away from major issues. Avoided an interlodge in SLC last year by realizing that I needed to get out of the canyons and into PC. Booked a reservation for DV, skied a 20 inch powder day.

For someone that knows much more about this than me, with the anticipated weather patterns this year, are the Sierra's expected to get a good amount of snow? Scouting out a March trip to Tahoe.

Shot in the dark, but has anyone ever been to Lutsen, MN?
Looking to plan a trip there this winter.

La Nina puts Tahoe on the edge of the favored storm track, but 22-23 was a similar weak La Nina and the Sierra's had a record snow. OpenSnow looked at the last six weak La Nina seasons and 2 seasons were huge, 2 were average and 2 were subpar.
median snow water equivalent (SWE) on April 1st of 33.4 inches at the Central Sierra Snow Lab
1991-2020: 33.4" (30-year median)
2000-2001: 13.7" (41%)
2005-2006: 45.6" (137%)
2008-2009: 34.8" (104%)
2016-2017: 66.9" (200%)
2017-2018: 20.2" (60%)
2022-2023: 74.9" (224%)
It really depends on how things setup, if the track is the PNW-Northern Rockies then it might be leaner, which is the pattern we are currently in but that could change. I would guess maybe we see a slow start and things pick up towards Feb-March for the Sierras so your timing could be good.

Great info, thank you!

All good info - La Niña stacking up well, so far, for the PNW.
Bachelor opens Friday 15 NOV.
Earliest opening in 26 seasons.
La Niña is helping.
I’ve got my quiver sharp, locked and loaded.
Gentemstick split board is about to get that work.

Forecast for the PNW over the next week looks very nice, big totals for Bachelor, Timberline, Crystal, Stevens, Whistler with some nice spillover for Idaho and interior BC.

It’s been an exciting start. Let’s keep stacking!
Gonna go up Bachelor tomorrow but in the afternoon after some of the rush hopefully subsides.
In the am, I plan to attempt a 1.5 hour split board hike for a 15 minute ride down, in the Tumalo area.

Picked up my season pass/employee ID.

Nice. I was back in Louisiana for Solitude’s opening Friday. Gonna go next week and get a few laps in.

Rode a while in the rain then waited two beers for the storm to begin. Rode in hammer pow the rest of the day.
Bachelor closes back up until Friday and this place is getting nuked on this week, while I am training for lift ops. Good livin’
Anyone use the slopes app?

Bachelor base at 47”.
Today’s meeting boasted us holding the most snow in N America at this time.

First time to Stowe, end of Feb - 2 solid intermediate skiers, but old (mid-60s) - usually once-a-year-ish to CO or UT - well aware it’s not the West but have the season pass and looking for something different; plus bringing the wives (not skiing.). Any tips on the mountain & town for a week stay and 3-4 days skiing? (Also going to Breck in March, so considering Stowe a bonus.)

Probably picked a good day to go out of town

Stowe is pretty small. You’ll be able to see and ride the entire place in the week.

Copper has been open 11 days and Ive gotten... two laps in.
Probably going to be the next storm cycle before Im getting out regularly. Too crowded on the runs. Conditions are meh.

Yeah, I know it's dumb. This was going to be my one and only opening day. Just to say I did it. Probably won't go again until mid-December.
