The last of the rain
and snow is pushing through this morning. Snow levels were going up and down
all night and dipped as low as the base briefly. Sierra picked up another 2
inches last night at the summit. That brings the total for the week to 54
inches and 128 inches for the season, which is 27% of the seasonal average
already.
The weather pattern
takes a big shift starting tomorrow as we could stay cool and dry for up to 2
weeks. A large ridge of high pressure is building off the CA coast between
130w-140w and it could sit there for a while. That would bring a pattern of
cold troughs dropping into the West over the Rockies. Some of the troughs could
come far enough West to give us a nice cold shot but overall a cool pattern
with highs in the 30's & 40's with lows in the teens and 20's, and plenty
of sunshine.
The snowmaking
conditions should be ideal over the next 2 weeks and the snowmakers will be
hard at work getting the base of the mountain caught up with the summit. We
will have to wait for retrogression of the ridge to get a cold storm to drop
down the West Coast. Still hoping this will happen sometime during week 2. Stay
tuned…
