Has everyone else heard the news that they are calling for as much as TWELVE FEET OF SNOW ACCUMULATION on Mt Rainier (above 9000 feet) by the middle of next week?! A report like that belongs in Haines Alaska…. Rainier is no joke!
Here is what NOAA says for the next few days for Mt Rainier at 12,330feet:
“Winter Storm Warning
Tonight: Snow. Low around 10. Southwest wind around 14 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total nighttime snow accumulation of 16 to 22 inches possible.

nice.
I heard that the wasatch are supposed to get 40+ inches in the next few days.
I really fucking hope not though. I don’t want another repeat of last year.

I think it happened in the Wasatch last night. We got hammered in SLC. I have a dusting of snow in my yard and it howled last night. I bet the mountains got a few feet

That’s a report for the summits mind you. Should mean some good snow down low though depending on freezing level.

Those summit forecasts seem to be the norm throughout the winter.
I just rode knee deep pow up at Chinook Pass yesterday. You had to be selective of where you went but I can legitimately say I got a few face shots.

I’m looking forward to my trip out there this January and February. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to meet some of you guys.
We have a few good inches here in Breckenridge, probably a lot more up top, but some serious wind gusts blowing it around and loading things up. Hopefully we get a relatively stable (for Colorado anyway) snowpack this winter.
