After a week of up and down temps, in and out of windy cycles and passing storms delivering low accumulation averages-we are setting up for the next rounds of storms...
Current conditions: windy in the valley and beginning to snow in the high elevations again...
The last week had us treasure hunting for stashes in the upper
Brighton area while out with Paul Sherman filming his pod cast episode. A storm on Tuesday delivered 4-6" with grauple in the back bowls of
Brighton which made for decent conditions. With the storm moving in with warmer than average temps and departing cold, the upper elevations got the snow and the lower elevation line got a mixed bag with rain. This being the case, we stayed on the high elevations and searched for sheltered lines to film. As the days went by early in the week, periods of wind came and went. Those days made me wish I had given
Ozone a call. Another storm came in on Friday and laid down a nice addition of 6-8" of light density snow to around 6000'. We picked our lines carefully on Saturday and scored big. The Northwest-North aspects around
Kestler Peak were sublime. On Sunday, we ventured into Mineral Fork and enjoyed a leisurely pace. We scored there as well. Although not as good as Saturday, the views made up for the snow difference...
This week should be interesting to say the least...
Stay tuned,
Maxwell
