Nice Ski.For many years mid 80s to late 90s we enjoyed our "3 pins" in the Ebbetts pass area.

When we had great snow.

Your trip brings back a lot of good times.

Thanks

Looks like a fun trip.  You all have been getting the snow.  I've seen enough for the year and fortunately this latest storm hit Minnesota and Wisconsin.  jd

Nice! I agree it does feel good to get out on the skis. Thank you El Niño!

Nice!  A mildly painful reminder that we'll not have a Utah downhill ski trip this year, but nice nonetheless.  And you managed to include some California geology references and pictures, too.  A two-fer!

Looks like fun!  Hope the snowpack stays stable for you.

Nice report. We don't have mountains here but we do have snow to ski on.

Fortunately for whom, haha? We are waiting until tomorrow to dig out of about a foot of new snow here that is still coming down.

Thank you all for your kind comments, both the Lady and I appreciate them very much. Today I received information on the numerous snow surveys for February 1st in our area of the Sierra Nevada. The average is 130% of normal. That is great news. But from my personal perspective this has been a pretty "normal" year in regards to number of storms and storm intensity. Thus far I've not seen evidence of an effect of a Godzilla El Nino, at least not in our neck of the woods. I'm not complaining either way. Let's hope at least we stay with an above average snowpack the rest of the season.
