Maybe, and I could be wrong, but usually a fire isn't like some wall of unstoppable fire that burns the houses down, it's the embers that start a fire and no one there to put it out, especially in this case with a 4 lane highway seperating these coastal houses from hillside, not bad defensible...

Yeah, screw them, they had nice beach houses and are rich right? Its their fault the state didn't do any fire mitigation or adequate water and fire resouces. Its their fault the city of Malibu never put in city sewer with all that tax revenue making reconstruction require multi million dollar...

Had a sick kid cancel our Mid march trip and we’re planning end of April, but looking like it probably won’t happen now, not worth the efforts around youth sports for marginal skiing. Bummer of a season.

Thanks for the Snowbird update. We get in Thursday night for the weekend.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. The daily snow write up has been consistent in not talking details though.

Heading to Snowbird next Thursday evening. Looking positive. I'd have. canceled if it was going to be dry and just gone to Mammoth.

That's not true. I have family who live(d) there. Thre's also a bunch that burned lower down.

I don't have a lot of time to write but spent 2 days cruising groomers at Deer Valley. The new expansion had the best snow, maybe better snowmaking combined with lower elevation so it stayed softer in the nice weather. I'd for sure have cancelled but it was a really productive work trip, all...

Looks awesome....:eusa-wall:

It’s a business thing, doesn’t really work that way! At least some good food and I can break in the new boots on groomers.

Have a business outing at Deer Valley on the 20th, gonna be not so good huh? Will be at snowbird for presidents weekend, but they’ll be fine by then if not already.

That’s impressive!

I've been using Outdoor Research heated gloves. If you manage the use, high to warm up then go to low or off for periods of time they last the day. The issue and why i'd say don't buy them is the button to control them has broken on 2 pairs for me within a year. Even though they warranty them...

For Altadena, that would have helped. I’d say they should put fires out properly instead of protecting plants (which ironically all burned because of their screw up), fill reservoirs, and properly prepare for weather events.

The day started off really slow, no Rollercoaster and no Canyon. Ended up being nice with 22 , 25 and canyon opening. Unfortunately the boys just don’t have the confidence for the frontside of 22 yet. Lots of good skiing otherwise though.

I meant to reply to this yesterday. I think Canyon Express was close due to avalanche danger from Lincoln. They had everything on that side closed, you couldn't even go that direction off of Rollercoaster. Seems like they're being really conservative with stability on Lincoln which makes...

Thought about it but just figured we would tough it out today. Wife wasn’t feeling well on Friday so we planned to drive up Sunday but she felt better yesterday and we toughed it out and got in later in the evening. Today was a bonus day. I got a handful of fun laps off eagle under the closed...

At mammoth today. Not a lot open as expected. Nice to ski a bit in the blizzard but lines are just too long. Without Canyon open the whole place is tough to get around without getting stuck in 20 minute lines. Tomorrow should be good, storm should be done by daybreak.

Ended up pushing it out a day, so skiing Sunday through Wednesday instead of Saturday through Tuesday. Saturday looks like a rough one, Sunday probably too.
