I just watched a video from a "ski influencer" that was shot on Sunday, March 15 at Heavenly. Looked very lean (lots of bare spots and rocks), especially down low on the mountain. I didn't realize it was that bad.

Northstar also looks bad. Following photo was posted with comment "I don't see how Northstar even makes past this weekend, let alone to this weekend." This is at top of Big Springs gondola which is about 500 higher than their 6330' base. They claim 50" base on 250" of snow for season.

Weather station near our S. Tahoe cabin hit 65 today. I saw very little snow last Wed. AM in S. Tahoe, only in shade where plows had piled it up.

This morning's prediction on local TV for San Jose was low 90s Tues-Fri. My house is in a warm area and got to 93 today at 3:15 PM.

Happy St. Paddy's Day 2026 from Snowbird, UT. Spring has sprung ... a little too early o_O

Today was gorgeous, but it's going to be hot and sunny this week (80+ degs next four days in Salt Lake Valley). This will put a pretty good hit on the snowpack here. We have good coverage now, but it looks better than it really is. The snowpack overall is low for this time of year and we'll suffer if temps don't return to seasonably cool soon. I'm driving to Banff in a couple days for a two week trip, hope to outrun the heat and find frozen precip, not liquid. May not post here for a while.
Will there be some decent skiing when I return to UT? Usually I have two more months of skiing at the Ides of March and April is in many ways my favorite month, but not sure about this season?
