I won't argue that in most cases, yes... CPC outlooks aren often poor, however I am looking at other long term data and most show the same general pattern through at least February. That's generally why I posted this map because it does indeed mirror lots of other model data I'm seeing (and it's...

ugh... (for the PNW/N. Rockies) if this verifies. Pretty classic El Nino signature. might need to change our trip in Feb from SE BC to CA!

@ ChrisC I have a midweek pass to Brundage, and full pass at Tamarack this year. I didn't get the Indy Pass this year, as last season I barely "paid it off". I do plan to maybe do a road trip to hit 49 North this winter and also Whitewater (not on IP), but decided it wasn't worth the $200 add...

'MT. SAN JACINTO 11.74". ( ELEVATION 8616 FT) The rain has hit here in Idaho. I've had about 1" since 5 this morning.

Wrightwood over 7" so far! The washes in town are starting to get backed up/overflowing.

I guess I could have put this in the "western weather" thread. Oh well. 1976 Hurricane Kathleen took a similar path as Hilary is forecast... We have flood watches here in ID and are expected to get 2-3". Would be great for the fires in the area, although there are much worse fires further...

This is gonna be interesting. Especially in the mountains and deserts where up to a foot of rain is possible, along with 50+ mph winds. Last tropical system to hit socal was in 1939.

That's funny about the SV ad, and I totally get it. The gray is reason the wife and I didn't stay in either Leavenworth, WA or NW Montana. Just horrible inversions. I actually got more claustrophobic than depressed when it's like that. While in WA, we drove to Boise for a long weekend just to...

I don't normally do many trip reports, but got some time tonight and thought what the hey. I had 2 day passes left to use, and have been trying to get over here from ID for the last month... but the stars never aligned. I had a cold this past week, but was feeling better Tuesday, so wife told...

I was looking at that list you compiled and saw Jackson Hole and Snowking for WY, but not Targhee... then I found you had it listed under Idaho. ;) btw, curious why you only have 1 Italian resort? I saw TonyC mentioned it as well, but I didn't see you ever answer him. Maybe you discussed it...

Excellent report/summary, and pretty spot on IMO. I enjoyed reading all that being a past 14 yr resident of the Socal mtns. (Although, in all that time there I never made it to Snow Valley).

Glad you had an ok time in Portland. It's a shame what the city has become, however. It used to be such a cool town. I like Mt. Hood Meadows during mid-week. Bend is indeed a great town, but it's gotten SO busy over the last 10-20 yrs. I actually don't care for most of the beer that comes out...

When/where was the old mid-mtn lodge built? I can't seem to remember it from my days working there in 97/98... (or visiting in 2014). I'm sure I'm just getting old and drawing a blank.

Weekends were busy as usual... (which I rarely ride). Weekdays were a little busier than the past, but still nothing like the Covid winter. Rarely any lift-lines, and if there were any, it would be a couple minutes or less. FWIW, Brundage is upgrading the Centennial triple chair to a HSQ this...

So much for that ridge building in next week... looking like back to cooler/white/wet after a brief warmup Sat/Sun. After being out of action for 12 days due to a severe back strain, I rode Brundage today and it was perfect winter conditions on the groomers all day long under mostly sunny...

Seattle Ridge runs are the steepest "greens" I've ever ridden.

Great powder chasing! You scored some unreal conditions, especially this late in the year. There has been little to no traditional spring skiing across much of the PNW/Northern Rockies this year.

Spring hasn't arrived yet, but yes all long range forecasts show a big ridge developing next week and continuing into the following week across most of the west for warm and dry. Interestingly, the CPC 3-4 week outlooks show possible colder/troughing re-developing over the PNW. Obviously, that's...
