5" of Almost Pow

Good Morning it's 31 degrees and we did get 5" of sorta Pow, not so dry you can't make a snowball because you can but not as sopping wet as last weekend when you were pushing more snow that you were leaving behind, very wet and sloppy.  If anyone is heading out towards Trinity today I sure could use some 1/2n1/2 and a pack of cigs Camel or Winston, I'll gladly pay you when you get here...Everything looks so much prettier today that it did yesterday after all the snow fell off the trees, at least it's back...Get out and enjoy it and the snow should be fairly stable but be safe if riding in unfamiliar areas...It is punchy in places... As always Chocolate ice cream is always appreciated...Peace

7" of Wet Snow in last 2 days

It seem like we have gotten ourselves in a convergence zone here with nights staying between 32- 34 and days warming up to almost 40, the snow turns to rain and makes things punchy and sloppy, not much fun to have to go anywhere in for sure...with all of the wet snow it's packing it down and we are at 104" at the sno-tel site and looks like it been knocked offline also...gonna have to make my way up there and see what is happening probably wet snow on the antenna which has been playing havoc here with the satellite also, the dish can handle over a 1 of POW and still function but it only takes about .25" of slush or frozen ice to block off the satellite dish which has been happening lots lately...Be careful out there and do the snow dance we don't need anymore rain...Peace

1" of Snow...

Well it's snowing now and snowed most of the day yesterday but only 1" accumulated where I measure anyway but it could be a couple more it's just sorta wet but still snowing now.  The road has been used and there is a trail that it seems most stay in making walls on the sides which is actually where it is smoother to ride, they have not yet groomed and I heard that they might be done for the season, but I haven't officially heard that from the groomers yet.  If anyone is going riding today out this direction I could use some 1/2n1/2 and any mail that might be at Midway, but if not no biggy and can't say I'd blame anyone...Just be safe out there as this is still some unstable snow, know where you are playing...Peace

2" of Wetter Snow

Well it's 32 degrees and we got a whopping 2" of wetter snow since yesterday, it is helping the snow to compact somewhat  but then again it's a little punchy in places...Not much to report other than to be safe out there as we're seeing some slide activity close by so don't take conditions for granted especially in the back country areas, check  conditions before trying something new always better to be safe than sorry...Peace

25" since Tues, mostly wet Snow

Sorry everyone having some technical difficulties lately but since Tues morning we have gotten 25" total snow but since yesterday morning around 11am it started turning wetter snow with some rain mixed in but then it started snowing again about 4pm yesterday but that was rather wet also...It did get down to 28 last night but the daytime temps up into the 40's haven't helped alot but the snow is settling down some, gt out and enjoy it but be careful and aware of what the snow is like where you choose to play...Peace

6" of Wetter Snow

Good Morning it's 29 degrees and snowing lightly, we had 6" of snow this morning but it is much wetter snow this morning that it has been lately being baby fine POW.  Yesterday afternoon we had about 8" of POW by 3pm but it got warm and the snow got wet compacting it quite a bit and by 5 pm it was compacted to about 3.5" and even with it snowing most of the night we only got 6" this morning.  This and the warmer daytime temps up to 41 each day will help the snow to consolidate and compact which will stabilize it making it somewhat safer but still be aware of the snow conditions where you choose to play...Get out and enjoy this wonderful whiteness there is something for everyone...Peace

8" of POW and Puking Snow

Good Morning it's 26 degrees & 8" this morning and still puking snow...  After a beautiful bluebird weekend with great friends playing , and getting stuck in the POW,  the snow settled some and days up to the low 40's since Sat helped to greatly settle things down after getting an average of 1' of POW per day since last Sun morning early. The snow has settled to 89"as of yesterday but with the new snow today we're back to 98" but that will settle today.  Get out and enjoy it while it's here but also be aware of your surroundings as it's still possible to cause slide and big fractures...Don't take anything for granted...Peace

8" of POW

Good Morning it's 26 degrees and we got another 8" of POW this morning, light, fluffy, and very deep POW...We did hear some sleds come out yesterday and as they were coming hard you could tell the bottom dropped out and it went blaaa, "Oh shit" was what I could hear.  The dogs weren't happy in that the snow is too deep to go out for them right now, yet the martens' just scamper across the light fluffy snow with ease...Blue skies overhead with a few clouds, get out and enjoy the POW but be safe it is very unstable snow still and over 6' has fallen since Sun am...Peace

Clearer Skies Today 7" POW

Good Morning it's 12 degrees and we got another 7" of wetter snow but the temp dried it out, this morning skies are clearer with a few clouds looks like it could be  a beautiful day.  The snow is rather bottomless here even places packed down 2 days ago are softening up  so get out and enjoy it but know the snow is very unstable right now so use caution in upper elevations.  Check it out before just jumping into areas your not familiar with.  The groomers are not coming up this way until this system is over and the slides have done their thing probably next week, I'll keep ya updated... Peace

7" POW Over 5' this Week

Good Morning another snowy 26 degree morning and another 7" on the ground and since Sun  a total of 5' has fallen here, but it starting to settle somewhat, you can still end up in chest deep POW if now careful, trust me, not fun...At this time I've been told the groomer is holding off grooming out this way until the snow stops and any slides that might happen have come down which could be next week.  I've not seen a single sledder since early Sunday morning when it was snowing and getting heavier as the day progressed.  Be careful out there  this is very unstable snow right now as I've heard one more slide happen up valley yesterday.  Be safe and enjoy the POW but know where you are going and check the snow before playing hard, if might just save your life...Peace

13" More POW the Dancing Worked

Good Morning it's 29 degrees and we got another 13" of snow since yesterday and since Sunday morning we've received 53" here in Paradise but it is settling some, so be careful ot there very punchy...Yesterday while going to clear the dish heard 2 pretty good slides up valley...Not sure when the groomer will run this week holding off I believe to see what this system does and let any slides come on down first, so be aware there is very deep POW out there and slides are likely in areas prone to slides...Peace

6" More POW

Good Morning sorry to be late we got another 6" for a total of 40" since yesterday and the sno-tel site is showing 91" http://www.wcc.nrcs.usda.gov/nwcc/site?sitenum=1171&state=wa
the snow is starting to settle some and will be doing so for a few days with supposed snow on the way but it's not stopped here but it's very light since last night.  Get out and enjoy it but be prepared it's waist deep here and punchy now...Peace
