There is no question that the conditions are challenging. We obviously need to pray a lot harder or smarter than we have been so far, and maybe brush up on the rain-dance moves or something cause we need a lot more snow on the ground. Fast. Looking at the forecast, Friday may be a bit hopeful and after that the whole of the following week. None of it looks like major precipitation yet but 1) as we get closer the percentage chances may increase, and 2) it makes it look like the high-pressure system that has put a lid on incoming systems for some weeks now may finally be crumbling. So here is to hopin...
In the meantime, there is still room for some fun in the snow skiing facets on the north-facing. The catch is that the approaches are now getting quite long for first tracks on good cover although, on occasion, that can be resolved too (see below). Here are some pictures (click to enlarge).
