I have a project for takeahike46er. I have data from near Whistler's base/Alta Lake from 1967-68 to 2008-09. Environment Canada has not updated hardly any online monthly summaries since then. I asked Leslie Anthony about this in 2018 but he did not do anything. I'm sending a PM with...

Speaking of getting hammered, sbooker will get a kick out of these chanting Aussie fans.

The Scots made quite an impression upon Boston.

I should change that. When I started collecting data in the early 1990's, my understanding was that it was from the Roundhouse. I'm sure that past 15 years at least are from Pig Alley, and possibly since the 1999 merger of Blackcomb and Whistler. For 17 years before that, Blackcomb had a...

It would but we have seen this movie before. Storm forecasts a week out in South America are like Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown. :icon-lol: IMHO nobody should be committing $$ until that snow is on the ground. This situation is an echo of mine in 2015. There was a much hyped...

Final OpenSnow post for Canadian Rockies about July 3-5 closing weekend. Pics showed chairs going up not full so it looks like not excessive crowds midweek. I wonder what the weekend was like? That was a very unusual event and Calgary has a large skiing population. I searched and came up with...

That graph is for Europe. The worldwide anomaly for June was 1.39C. This fits with a recent article (I can't find today) about the heat wave saying Europe is warming at twice the rate of the world overall. That might imply the rain/snow line in Europe rising by 1,000 feet vs. 500 feet in...

Sorry indeed. Those buildings are the base of El Colorado at 9,000 feet. It's hard for me to believe that it's not routinely below freezing at night in June/July. I suspect the water supply for snowmaking is not very robust. It again strikes me as ironic that Mountain Capital Partners...

I'll refer our new member to the extensive thread on Western North America 2025-26. Some final season numbers and comparisons to prior bad seasons start here.

Without paying for some kind of subscription?

History of Eagle Point/Mt. Holly/Elk Meadows. This is the history of a marginally viable ski area for an economic perspective. I made that observation when we skied there Dec. 29, 2013 despite our view that the Lookout fall lines were better than Brian Head's. So there is a significant...

Political comments regarding the World Cup (including mine) are moved to the appropriate thread.

The trolls are out in force....

Some of you may have heard of Cosm, which shows sports and other events on an immersive planetarium type screen. The first of these opened here in Inglewood and in Dallas in 2024. Atlanta just opened last month, with Detroit expected in September and Cleveland next year. We thought about...

Yes FIFA manged to f*** it up by doing the right thing at the wrong time. That call should have been reviewed and reduced to a yellow card the evening after the game. The last minute reversal prompted complaint from Belgium that probably would have been less or non-existent if done...

Yes, see my recent comments on the subject. Mt. Hutt is not a volcano but it's a somewhat isolated peak jutting out into the Canterbury plain and seems to have similar weather issues, thus the nickname Mt. Shut. On the NASJA 2006 trip I got 15 years of mostly June-Sept. data which projected to...

has a retractable roof like Houston, so I suspect it's rarely open air for MLB games. We saw a game in Houston mid-July 2021. When we drove by it the next day we could see the roof was open to let the sun shine on the grass.

I vote for South America as the answer to that question, specifically the central Andes 33-35 latitude range. Farther south I don't think it's getting drier, but as the elevation declines it's more of a crapshoot whether you get rain or snow. From past discussions with Larry Schick, he says...

Car thermometers work well when you're driving continuously (not stop and go) so the thermometer is ventilated. I think jimk's observation yesterday is within the margin of error.

Yes, that overtime was amazing. During the overtime one of the commentators thought Argentina was wearing down more in the Miami weather (91/78). That is the unusually stable summer climatology that I experienced for nearly 3 months in 2020.
