Well, we've already gone through about 5 contingency plans for trips this week and the next. Seems like pretty much the whole western north america is getting screwed by these warm weather systems. Here's the synopsis:

Tahoe - was very warm and wet, possibly snow this week but little base to build on and still will be wet...

Colorado - too flat and too far

Utah - too warm and wet

Washington - ditto - a little hope for later in this week but still relatively high freezing levels

Coastal BC - same story

Interior BC - serious slabs on top of weak facets and funky layers

Montana - was too warm and wet, though stable - any info on Cooke City now?

Idaho - same

Jackson - did get warm and wet, but will cool down - expecting snow this week but will probably be low visiblity for the whole time

Any ideas on where to go to get reasonable conditions? Some serious multi-day trips were in the works, but they've all been quashed. All info is appreciated, since it is difficult to be totally on top of weather for the entire western region.

the weather report is calling for 1.5 - 3 feet of snow here at tahoe. hopefully not heavy wet snow either, the snow level is supposed to drop down to 5k feet so it should be quality snow higher up. there's more expected later in the week and into next weekend according to the 10 day forecast (how much can you believe that?).

whats the deal nomad? you dont like to ride corn and crust??

Altitude in the Tetons is the answer for me nomad.PM me and I'll give you some good beta on terrain.I was also wondering if you are going to attend scrubfest again this year?Last year was a blast with the Montana boyz.By the way,names spelled Louis. Cheers........................

chech out www.bestskiweather.com theres good forecasts on the site for free and if you sign up as a member you get pow alerts way in advance to plan trips.

hmm.... seems as though the forecast may have changed for the better here in the northwest... we shall see

Sorry for the name screwup Louis!

Nomad- Might possibly be heading down to the tetons to meet up with BH by the end of the week.

Louis- Bh and I are definetly gonna be back down and I think nomad plans on it also. We are probably gonna hit up teton pass on our way to togwotee again so if you wanna act the tour guide we should hook up.

Oh yeah, nomad I think I remember you mentioning something about getting sick of riding the nice snow we had Damn rain sucks.

LLS- We are going to take off for Jackson on Wed. I am not sher of our plans you should give me a call.

Louis- Its good to see you are back, and yes I will be back to scrubfest. Do we have any dates for scrubfest set up yet.

As of the new year, THE EASTERN SIERRAS ....can you say base?

nomad and i came close to driving down to tahoe for the new year, but the weather didnt look promising then. i will hopefully be down there in the spring and be looking for some partners...
